Just thinking of how easily I've been paid less, laid off, bullied, etc because people didn't like an outspoken disabled woman...

Yet folks tolerate or even promote the malignant failsons running the country right now.

Stop the failsons early - stop bullying marginalized people and instead draw the line with privileged fucking fascists early in their development. #USpol #Ableism #Sexism #Capitalism

Q. is there a growing epidemic of misogyny among school children?

research commissioned by the BBC suggests incidents of misogynic behaviour & expression(s) are increasing.... this would suggest not only are young females lives already being impacted by sexism, we are storing up more trouble when these children got older.

The impact of the mano-sphere seems to be growing & its not really clear how best to tackle its corrosive influence on society!

The #Trump admin has fired a top #Navy admiral assigned to #NATO HQ in Brussels, …the latest ouster in an ongoing #purge of senior #military officers that has disproportionately targeted #women.

Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, the US military rep to the NATO Military Cmte, was notified of her removal over the weekend…. Chatfield’s abrupt dismissal marks at least the 9th firing of a senior US military officer, including 4 women, since Trump returned to office <3 months ago.

I am reading a peer-reviewed article that describes a study that featured 5 drivers; 4 male, 1 female. It includes the following analysis:

"It shows that male is more impulsive and daring in operating their vehicles by 22% than a female who is more hesitant and less daring, which is consistent with the physiological nature of women."

Do I reject all further findings or?

The Problem Isn’t Reading. It’s What We Teach Boys to Value
I'm clearly a reader and I have a house of readers, sometimes to the detriment of my kids getting ready for school on time. This video ties together some interesting points about how when a hobby or field becomes just over 50% women, men suddenly flock away from it to the point where a field like

Even now the Dems (and I've even seen Canadian politicians doing this) cannot stop with the reactionary "working families" rhetoric for places where "the public", 'people" will do, stuff that is not specific to working families.

It signals who is thought to be "worthy" of life. Disabled people, childless people, childfree people, people with bad families or no family are expendable in this political calculation. #Fascism #USpol #Ableism #Sexism #Natalism

"GOP leadership has set its sights in recent months on disempowering conservative-coded #women, especially. The state-level laws restricting #ReproductiveRights disproportionately affect Republican-voting women... And there's been a big push to take female leaders down a peg, with #MAGA influencers now openly saying women shouldn't be in leadership."

A Brief History of Misogyny – Jack Holland
Well researched and written walk through misogyny. One of the big notes relating to recent history is that we often fear Communism more than misogyny. We allow countries (like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan) to be our allies, just like in generations past you’d be friends with someone that beat their wife. The abuse of women is a private matter…and it should never be.

Interview: "The US Is Certainly Not the Greatest Democracy on Earth"

Legal expert Elie Mystal on how "US laws are designed to be ‘racist, sexist, and anti-democratic’ and how Trump is weaponizing them.

"The US Constitution was written nearly 240 years ago, laying the foundations for an independent, successful, democratic country. But, like most of the nation’s laws, it was written by and for wealthy white men."
