I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use. 660154503592 15.5K

Maggie Horton @themaggicalword.bsky.social · 27/01/2025Did anyone else see the straight up Trump propaganda commercial before the Chiefs/Bills game? Like a campaign ad, but just, “Trump is awesome. Yay America.” I haven’t seen anything about it. Was I dreaming (nightmare-ing)? 000 0

Maggie Horton @themaggicalword.bsky.social · 23/12/2024I 100% support Blake Lively. I can admit the smear campaign worked on me. I believed she was “difficult, flighty, rude” etc. What a coincidence that the same people who are doubling down now - despite 80 pages of evidence - also cannot recognize the propaganda that they fall for every day. 010 1

Maggie Horton @themaggicalword.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Anyone else super invested in the NCAA women’s volleyball tournament? I’m rooting for Nebraska because I love the visibility they’ve brought to the sport, Penn State because their coach is a motivation, and Louisville because ACC (and I arbitrarily don’t like Pitt 🤷🏻♀️) #EveryoneWatchesWomensSports 000 0

Maggie Horton @themaggicalword.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Lurking on Threads. Man commented on a benign story about yoga that he wasn’t a misogynist but had to advocate for men in our misandrist society. Next comment he said women are nothing but uteruses. I live in a bubble of decent men; it’s always terrifying to be reminded that some men think this way. 000 0

Maggie Horton @themaggicalword.bsky.social · 29/11/2024Politics mostly avoided at Thanksgiving, other than the magas trying to get my British MIL to talk about “illegals” and my dad loudly whispering to other maga that he was so happy. Other maga did, without notice or explanation, leave my mother a book about preparing for The Rapture. So there’s that. 000 0
Maggie Horton @themaggicalword.bsky.social · 28/11/2024Happy thanksgiving to my new community here. We are headed to my mom’s - a very intelligent, retired government attorney, progressive woman - where she has forbidden political talk (as well as shirts with words and denim - heaven forbid). Bets on if the 3 MAGA disciples in attendance will behave? 🥴 010 1
Reposted by Maggie HortonJennifer C @thejenniwren.teamlh.social · 26/11/2024Out of 2,410 women killed by men, 87.5% knew their killers, and 66% were shot. Misogynistic rhetoric, extremist cabinet picks, and Project 2025's patriarchal agenda threaten to escalate violence against women. We must stand united and resist this dangerous regression. #Resist 371118448 1.1K

Maggie Horton @themaggicalword.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Men shouldn’t be commentators for female sports. They can’t possibly know what they’re talking about. Plus their voices are so low and grating. #womeninmalefields 030 3
