If we give oxytocin injects to guys, will they stop cheating on their wives and sexually harassing every woman from here to Timbuktu?

A rebuke is not accountability. If the law doesn't apply equally to everyone (including those working in law enforcement) then we are not a nation of laws.

"Lace-curtain Irish" might be one of my favorite put-downs, though only when I see someone else use it 😏

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

My wife and I spent a few days in Amsterdam a while back, and I can say that there's something very satisfying about how quiet bicycle "rush hour" is as early morning commuters make their way in to work. As an American, I remain envious.

This. Bigotry is only tangentially related to ignorance. There are plenty of well-educated bigots, and there are just as many poorly-educated who have nothing in their hearts but love and grace for humanity. Are there poor, dumb racists? Of course, but they aren't the ones putting up statues.

Any mention of McCarthy or The Red Scare, in conjunction with the US Senate, brings to mind another common thread: Roy Cohn. @iwriteok.bsky.social has an excellent podcast on Cohn and how his specific brand of hatred still haunts the halls of American power.

This is just sad, adding insult to injury. "I've levied tariffs that made everything more expensive. I've started a war that made everything more expensive. I've wrecked US stature among global trading partners, and I have no plan to fix any of that. Will $90 buy your votes?"

No-bid contracts. Insider trading. Someone with social connections having a quiet word, helping someone else avoid accountability (also relates to Cornell)... the list goes on.

The great irony of the entitlement class being anti-union is that they all get together at country clubs and private parties making backroom deals to keep each other and themselves rich. What is that if not a union?

I think of the men in my life, some of whom I've known for decades, and I don't think any of them would have sat still for this, but the agonizing truth is that I don't know. I think of my own son (who is at least as pink-pilled as me) and I feel sure that he wouldn't either, but I don't know.

I hear these rationalizations like I've always heard them, and they ring as hollow today as they always have. The sad truth is: none of this is new. Men don't care about rape because we don't value women. We don't see women as whole and equal and vital, and until we do, none of this will change.

I'd like to. I really want to believe that, but I don't know, and hoping for it feels foolish. No one spoke up because "bros before hoes" or because "I can't risk my spot in this frat" or because "dumb b***h has it coming" or some combination of all three.

...that's a cop-out) did not see this woman as a whole person, they saw her as an object. They weren't taught to see her as a person, to care about her humanity, because that's not how Patriarchy works. Do I believe there was a single person in that text-chain who thought "Man, that's fucked up?"

This is a must-read, though it's not an easy read. Sexual assault is a systemic problem; it's endemic to Patriarchy writ large. A political and social system that prioritizes the power and status of men over women does not value women, it consumes them. These men (don't call them boys...

I like cats, and I have a fairly good relationship with my cat... yet my cat exhibits most of the "feral asshole" qualities people usually ascribe to cats. On the upside: she's pretty good about not bringing kills into the house. On the downside: she had NO respect for the drapes, or my wife.
