Y’all. This is insane.
Like...the many levels of irony of this WH falsely accusing a man of sexual assault...when we can all see with our own eyes it didn’t happen...this is some next-level Orwellian stuff.
*I suppose they’re just accusing him of assault, not sexual assault, but it’s absolutely clear he didn’t touch her.

“I’m Still Here” by @austinchanning. (Runners up: “Educated” by @tarawellman, “Pachinko” by Min Jin Lee, “Less” by @agreer.)
Did “Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine” come out this year too? (Man, it’s been a long year.) Because that would be at the top of the runner up list for me.
Oops. @tarawestover, I mean.

My extroverted child, the day after Christmas, when all the people have left.
He’s surrounded by new toys but keeps saying, “I want people.” 😭
Meanwhile, the rest of us...

Happy Christmas! A lot of folks are sending me this story, so a few quick thoughts. First, I’m honored and pleased that Bishop Budde quoted me in her (excellent) sermon. She’s one of the best preachers I know. chasingchurches.com/2018/12/25/pre…
Second, I’m glad she didn’t change her message of God’s love for the marginalized, and specifically refugees (among whom are counted the holy family), just because the president was in the room. That takes courage.
Third, as @jackmjenkins notes, this message was not inappropriately political. There are millions of Christians in this country who believe the Bible teaches hospitality to refugees & immigrants and who see in the incarnation God making a home among the marginalized.

WOMENS EQUALITY!
Allows men to be women
no Draft, MEN only!
Demands to be seen as beautiful despite effort or appearance
Called beautiful- now a victim
Equates victim/Accuser
Claims ludicrous behavior due to victim status
misogyny blamed in-lieu of personal accountability
I want TRUE equality! The current system has been designed to ensure that women receive preferential treatment!
To reap all of the rewards while taking none of the risk or putting forth any of the effort.
ITS AN INSULT!
Today’s #feminist wouldn’t make it a full day, of #Equality
AUTOMATICALLY BELIEVING A WOMAN who’s accusing a man of sexual assault....

the ULTIMATE form of #privilege this country currently participates in.

I'm a sociologist who studies adolescent sexual violence. On this thread, I will be live tweeting the #Kavanaugh hearing, chiming in with sociological insights and research findings.
Full disclosure--I will probably step away for parts of it. While many conservatives have cast feminists as people who rejoice at allegations of sexual assault against powerful men, this is a painful process for us. We know survivors. We are survivors. And I will need breaks.
It does not bode well that the beginning of this hearing is starting with equating #Kavanaugh and #Ford's experiences with harassment following Dr. Ford's allegations. They are absolutely not the same.
