Shayne Laughter @shaynel.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The whole Cornell story has me so angry I can barely breathe. And no one seems to remember that *pledged fraternity brothers* don't rat each other out. That's group loyalty, which is more important than a woman's life. #grrr 040

Shayne Laughter @shaynel.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It's going to have to be a wave of men, enraged about Cornell's atrocity of silence. If male voices are the only ones Patriarchy will hear, outraged men must speak and act and demand. "We're not here for all men. We're here for THOSE MEN. Those Seven, and those men who protected them." 010
