The jackals are out, as they usually are for a woman who speaks up in a way that challenges patriarchy. (And a lot of why victims don't come forward or withdraw--as a Weinstein victim did--is because the misogynist public and legal system launch their own punitive assaults.)

Ret. NYPD. These are the people rape victims are expected to report being raped to & find empathy, support, & justice from. No surprise almost no rapists go to prison with these accomplices gatekeeping justice. If 40% of cops self-report beating their wives, what % are rapists?

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

And media making it official policy to treat those attacks as fair game that they would not take seriously, report on, or treat as harmful — even when leveled at their own reporters. Now the White House points GamerGate at its targets daily, through the owners of the social platforms themselves.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.

Think of any sphere of life. Work. Parenthood. Education. Personal relationships. There is no sphere I can think of in which misogyny is not a constant, enduring, backbone to the major issues. Not just a problem, a fundamental backbone to most of the problems.

On 16 September 1982, Lebanese Phalange militiamen allied with Israel stormed into the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Beirut and massacred over 3,000 civilians. Israeli troops surrounded the camps, and allowed the militias to kill for days. 44 years later, no one has been held accountable.

It's important to remind readers that while there are a few anti-trans dems, many are doing great work. Spanberger in VA did not flinch at anti-trans attacks. Now, she just ended Governor Youngkin's infamous rule that would ban trans students from bathrooms. Subscribe to support our journalism.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

86% of trans people vote for Democrats, and they return the favor by scapegoating and misgendering us.

There is no more "state of the humanities" as such. There is no condition in which the humanities are under attack in which the whole university is not under attack. There is no condition in which the university is under attack that the whole of educational
infrastructure, public and private, from pre-K up, is not under attack. And there is no condition in which education is under attack
in which civil society can remain unimperiled. There is no sense calling for independent or solitary action by something called "the humanities" when that category has been so thoroughly absorbed by concerted attacks on democratic governance, due process of law, rights to privacy, security, assembly, and expression.
We are all humanists now.
