TheGins @thegins.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Last night’s Johnny Blue Skies & The Dark Clouds show at the Garden was mind-melting. Three hours of cosmic country, funk, psychedelia, and rock&roll delivered by an exceptional band (and sound person). Got home after midnight on a Tuesday. Annie Grace judged me accordingly. Tired GenXer today. 010
TheGins @thegins.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Elon is a fucking traitor (and a Nazi). Trump is a fucking traitor and a fascist. Trump is sacrificing Ukraine to secure a multi-billion dollar deal for himself, Kushner, and Witkoff in Russia. It's unconscionable. If you support any of this, blood's on your hands too. 010

TheGins @thegins.bsky.social · 03/09/2026It’s only viewed negatively when surveys ask about “feminism” without any definition or context. It’s 61% positive when those elements are included, as I’ve explained already. But if generalizing to meet what you already believe, go for it. 100
TheGins @thegins.bsky.social · 03/09/2026The system has largely been created and run by men btw. All the more reason for women's equality. 100
TheGins @thegins.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Men's mental health issues are every bit as vast as women's. Once again, you chalk up a single factor (loneliness) while stating "a whole host for women." You still view women as both more emotional and less able to manage their emotions. You only want strong women as YOU define their strength. 100
TheGins @thegins.bsky.social · 03/09/202661% of American women support feminism when a definition is provided. When it's just a label, it's unfavorable. Important distinction. Birth rates are down for a whole host of reasons, including affordability and a desire to build careers instead of pumping out babies at 21. 200
TheGins @thegins.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I pointed out how obnoxiously patronizing that is and you're continuing to double down on your misogyny. "...the current system puts us in opposition rather than maximizing us." The system isn't pitting men vs women. You are. 100
TheGins @thegins.bsky.social · 03/09/2026once again you've got it backwards. You began this debate stating "lol, women are wonderful, but someome needs to take tgeir keys before they drive us off a cliff" followed by calling feminism poison and "a collectivist voting block that votes against the interests of the country as a whole." 100
TheGins @thegins.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Your breakdown of the hive mind/collectivist thing reinforces your obvious belief that women are lesser and act out of emotion rather than logic, that they vote as one bloc. It's nonsense yet you seem to have convinced yourself it's true. 100
TheGins @thegins.bsky.social · 03/09/2026And while you're at it, see if you can figure out why women won't fuck you and your daughters no longer speak to you. 100
