Maybe men should take a break from moderating conversations about women
In all seriousness, if you cannot be bothered to educate yourself on the modern discourse around gender, power and sexual assault, you should not be talking about such things on stage
Really good thread here from Robyn, who was in the audience

Cancel culture at it again
Seriously though, this is fucking shameful.
Love to hop on the speaking circuit after a successful career of snatching babies out of their mothers' arms

The @nytimes has deleted this, saying it was “poorly phrased,” but this is not about the wrong choice of words - it’s the constant diminishment and laughing off of women’s pain.
Having people in positions of power and influence who think it’s “harmless fun” for a guy to stick his dick in a woman’s face is how we got Brett Kavanaugh in the first place
I keep hearing how feminism has gone too far, yet here’s the nation’s most important newspaper calling sexual assault “harmless fun”

I’m fucking over it

Taylor Petry’s Sterling McMurrin lecture off to a great start as he makes the point that sexual malleability is not equivalent to sexual fluidity. Malleability used by conversion therapy, arguing orientation can be consciously changed. Fluidity rejects essentialism & binaries.
Gender norms & presentation are intertwined with LDS anxieties about sexual orientation —> the doctrines are closely intertwined despite the modern understanding of gender identity and sexual orientation as separate
Destabilizing one is seen to destabilize another

THREAD.

I was asked today to share my thoughts on the potential effect of what appears to be a mass exodus of talented #women from the #corporate world.

I thought perhaps it was a good time for a history lesson.

(1/7)
We don't have to wonder about the potential, we've already seen it. The last US recession impacted a lot of people (maybe except the bankers who caused it), but it hit women of color hardest. #truth #WOC

(2/7)
It represented one of the greatest losses of wealth in recent history and the demographic that was hit hardest is now the single most entrepreneurial group in the nation, women of color. Coincidence? Nope.

For all the #women who’ve ever felt disregarded, ignored, used, or silenced – you’re not alone.

It’s a #FolkloreThursday - #WomensDay story thread called

THE GOOSE GIRL
Or
“Blow Me (One Last Hat)”

IMAGE: Title card for "The Goose Girl", Robert Anning Bell, 1912
Once upon a time, a long-ruling Queen had a daughter (who we’ll call Gigi, which is long for GG which is short for Goose Girl) who she loved very much. Nice to see some genuine familial affection for once, generally it’s the parents causing the mayhem.
The time had come for Gigi to leave home & travel to a distant kingdom where her fiancé, the prince waited. As she was Queen’s only child, the departure was, emotional.
QUEEN: WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
GIGI: Mom, calm down.
Q: [sobbing] I JUST LOVE YOU SO MUCH

10 THINGS MEN CAN DO TO PREVENT GENDER VIOLENCE @threadreaderapp 1. Approach sexual harassment & forms of #gender #violence as a MEN’S issue involving men of all ages & socioeconomic, racial/ ethnic backgrounds. View men not only as possible offenders, but as empowered bystanders
2. DON’T REMAIN SILENT
If someone you know is abusing his partner – or is disrespectful or abusive to girls and women in general – try to talk to him about it. Urge him to seek help. Or if you don’t know what to do, consult a friend. #SpeakUp #BystanderIntervention
3. HAVE THE COURAGE TO LOOK INWARD
Question your own attitudes. Don’t be defensive when something you do or say ends up hurting someone else. Try hard to understand how your own attitudes & actions might inadvertently perpetuate sexism and violence, & work towards changing them.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
