Reposted by Z.V. AnjaliEmma the Sewer Socialist @mayorseidel.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Where to attack? Where are the hostiles more concentrated, more identified, more in open ground than in fraternities? It doesn’t mean they’re all equally bad or that all men in them are rapists, but they very clearly serve as recruitment centers and defensive positions for the enemy. 2342
Reposted by Z.V. AnjaliEmma the Sewer Socialist @mayorseidel.bsky.social · 30/09/2026In our own networks, we should think of this in terms of potential infiltration. Deny the hostiles space to maneuver. Don’t wait for the enemy to secure a beachhead. Calling out rape culture isn’t for an abstract national conversation, it’s defensive fire. 1314
Reposted by Z.V. AnjaliEmma the Sewer Socialist @mayorseidel.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I don’t think we should take the woke 1 tack of decoding it to decry it.

When a man says rapey things or defends accused frat boys, we should be flagging him as a potential hostile. 1423
Reposted by Z.V. AnjaliEmma the Sewer Socialist @mayorseidel.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I was never satisfied by the idea that rape is attributable to an ambient thing called rape culture. Certainly there are things in culture that normalize rape, but to the extent “rape culture causes rape” is a true statement, the term means more like: “the culture of men who bond over raping women.” 1402
Reposted by Z.V. AnjaliEmma the Sewer Socialist @mayorseidel.bsky.social · 30/09/2026One of the many lessons of the Trump era is that rapists are very well-organized and actively work to protect each other. Fraternities serve that function in the open, and so they must be destroyed if we are serious about accountability for rapists. 112830
