The misogynistic left that dismisses women (which is not all of the left) is obsessed with proving those who counter them are linked to other groups. Especially religious ones.

Now, the misogynistic left is itself linked to all kinds of groups that support policies harmful to women. But in their view, women are not allowed the same right to coalitions.

Just think about the misogyny in that. But guess what? Women have the right to form coalitions as other groups do for their own protection.

The misogynistic left wants women to avoid coalitions so they (the ML) can have a tactical benefit, beyond the huge one they have of being or being supported by the male-bodied who have always had rights, have always been represented in Corporations & among those with money.

(Note all the corporations signing onto the proposals of the misogynistic left.)

But for the record, I have ridden alone on the two briefs I filed.

What I cited in the briefs, I got off of public sources, including Twitter,as one would get news from any source. Did not contact anyone for information or statements to put in it.

Paid for the briefs myself, my own savings. (Supreme Ct briefs must be printed-by a printer.) No reimbursement now or later. Typed the original text myself at home on my own laptop, (including a few typos that irk me but I’ll live). Did all the research myself.

I am not backed by large private law firms anxious to get the clients that well-heeled, male-bodied misogynists will give them if they sign onto nonsense that hurts women and girls.

I don’t have behind me hundreds (even thousands) of lawyers and word processors like the @ACLU, @HRC, @GLAAD, @LAMBDA @NAACP_LDF, @ABAesq or even an @USEEOC or @USDOJ & other agencies that sold women down the river from 2011-2017.

I don’t try to suppress anybody else’s speech to get mine across the way some groups try, or try to suppress women and minorities who disagree, or anyone who disagrees, including me, by denying such persons any platform;

I don’t engage in a massive conspiracy of refusals to deal with those who disagree with me;

I didn’t manipulate any students into helping on a brief by pretending they were on a great mission that did not harm women or girls or that my theory had no holes; I didn’t lie or misrepresent facts in texts and then ask students or courts to adopt those alleged “facts.”

I didn’t exchange my integrity for a “Center” on a campus, a fellowship, or other benefit;

I did not misrepresent facts to federal courts as some professors, advocates and lawyers, backed by elite law firms anxious for client or “wokeness” rewards have done;

I did not support hiding issues from the public and killing intelligent and honest people’s careers in order to convince others my arguments were right;

I did not go along with plans I knew jeopardized women and girls because I needed the money for reelection and was afraid of the lobby as many Congresspersons have done;

I was not one of the press afraid to speak truth against the wishes of advocacy groups with big media arms; I did not sign on to misrepresenting issues to the public or to manipulating the public rather reporting news, in exchange for getting a show or keeping ratings high;

But I am an expert on these issues-and I am Professor Emerita, and a lawyer and a member of the bar of the Supreme Court. Having researched the relevant questions for some time,
I know something about where the bodies are buried.

And I filed my briefs to say what others would not say because they had made a “deal” or could not say because their voices had been silenced by a corrupt conspiracy.

I would like to have had 2 more days on them-but as it was, there was no more time. I am proud to have presented them, representing only me, myself and I. I hope, though, that I said some of what other people would have said if they could speak.

And there is more to say.

But for now you know the origins of these briefs. So yes, I said that.

By the way, I think making money is a good thing.
Women should strive to do more of it. It is the silencing,
dissembling, and misrepresentation in the process that I have problems with.

And the manipulation of the public and students’ trust.

Typo correction for deleted tweet: So that you know, it is common for those who file amicus briefs to coordinate with the side they support. This happened in this case, on both sides. It has happend in related cases. I did not participate in coordination, nor
was I asked to.
