Genuinely if ‘Prevent’ started monitoring white boomers on Facebook instead of brown people at colleges and universities it might actually catch some terrorists.

So there was the time, in quite a busy (and loud) pub, that I explained about induced ovulation in cats by describing, at a volume loud enough to be audible to everyone at my table (and some at others), the feline penis thus: “imagine a dildo wrapped in barbed wire”.

Not all men. Jesus Christ, don't you think women *know* that? Use your heads instead of getting defensive. Most of you would be terrified of swimming among sharks, even though sharks are stastically far less dangerous to you than men are to women.

“To be silent on an issue, or to appeal to ‘both sides’ (as Sheeran did in his teleprompted apology), is itself to take a political stance – and when the issue is genocide, silence or equivocation is complicity.” A searingly simple point.

“If they attack and pressure those who feel little to no sexual attraction or interest in sex, that is a gateway to attacking anyone who does have sex in any way that’s not ‘approved’ or ‘acceptable.’” Niger’s criminalising of asexuality is about enforcing patriarchal ideas of gender and sexuality.

Why Niger explicitly criminalising asexuality is significant to everyone, regardless of identity
To understand Nigers asexuality criminalisation, we should see this law as part of a bigger – and growing – global trend among conservatives about 'traditional families'

There are undeniable strains of Amber Heard and Gamergate to this. Women creators who are speaking out in support of feminism and to advocate for postpartum healthcare are being targeted with an outpouring of extremely violent misogynistic rhetoric. They’re channeling support to end women’s rights.

The right-wing organizing around the Lindsay Clancy trial is growing and it’s frightening. A lot of people overlook these culture wars revolving around women’s issues, because, well, they’re women’s issues. But the right doesn’t. It’s how they regained such a massive cultural foothold.
