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.

One of the things you discover pretty rapidly when reading older novels is that the excuse "oh, they were a product of their time" is bullshit. EVERYONE is a product of their time. But some people give in to the bigotries of their time, and other people work to transcend them.

I like to ask what they mean. Like if they make a bigoted or sexist joke. I ask them to explain it. Once you remove the veneer of the fucked up joke, it always, ALWAYS sounds terrible. And I know I have a sense of humor, they know it, too, so they can't use that as an excuse.

It really doesn't make sense to attribute those job losses to AI-the-technology, because if that were the case we'd be observing AI outputs displacing conventional entertainment products, and they're clearly not. Rather, the impact of AI is that AI-the-business is crowding out other investment.

In this context "family" has always been a term of art for controlling women and children and making kinship into a miniature version of the top-down control of an autocratic state. When a politician says "family" they never mean anything else.
