this antivax stuff is genuinely bewildering. like what do you mean you don’t know if vaccines are safe? why exactly do you think child mortality rates have plummeted since the beginning of the 20th century? why is it that you are not worried about getting polio or smallpox anymore?
Teen girls are dying in emergency rooms from pregnancy sepsis because docs won't help them but sure let's invent an imaginary crisis about feminist boy guilt or whatever
A lot of men who have misogynistic beliefs actually don’t hold them too tightly. They mostly want to impress and bond with other men.
Just being unimpressed—or even judgmental!—is often enough to get them to change their beliefs. If they’re encountering that reaction on a regular basis.
A grey rabbit with droopy ears is held gently by a hand, standing upright on hind legs.
Yup. A man whose feminist identity is focused on men isn’t actually a feminist at all. Just a different variety of misogynist.
Even men who are insist they are not misogynists expect men to be centered in conversations of the problems women face (ie, patriarchy hurts men too, men also experience sexual assault — which is true, but only derails conversations & recenters attention from women to men).
The core message is:
“No matter how badly men treat you or how badly they think of you, you’re still supposed to like them and care for them.”
Ultimately, I think one of the main reasons we tell women to respond to radicalized, misogynistic men with “empathy” is because it reinforces gender hierarchy.
It allows men to retain control and focus, while women are tasked (again) with managing their (and our own!) emotions.

The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion.
Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates.
What’s “moderate” about that?
A new report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37 billion in potential legal liability from 11 federal agencies on inauguration day.
Many are now on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped their investigations into Musk's corporations.
"Conflict of interest" is an understatement.
This week we officially launched the DOGE Impact Tracker!
Since February, we've documented dozens of stories on the impacts of the initiative’s budget cuts + program terminations—on children, seniors, vets, farmers, disabled students, working families and more.

Trump and DOGE are making devastating cuts to agencies and programs that serve the public — all in the name of rooting out "fraud and waste."
Meanwhile, the regime is reportedly planning a military parade for Trump's birthday that could cost an estimated $92 million.
Hello?
Donald Trump is a symptom of a deeper sickness of inequality, disillusionment, and division.
The cure? Economic and social justice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTQoc5Jrciw
I agree with Bernie Sanders. Trump and his billionaire buddies just don't care if working families can't afford more expensive groceries or dolls for their kids.

“You're not fooling anyone, you know?"
Pansy quipped as she slipped into the booth, a full mug of butterbeer in hand. Hermione had been nursing her own before her friend interrupted her.
"I'm not sure I know what you're talking about."
