Day three of young people on TikTok saving my sanity!
I very much appreciate how many teens see right through the “we can all be friends” nonsense

I’m *also* that bitch
SO MANY Nevada videos
🎶 I don’t understand 🎶
Not election related but love to see a young feminist in the making
Atlanta’s back hurts

This comes from a dear friend working on a project to release incarcerated survivors of domestic violence from prison: A few weeks ago, Patrice Smith was released after 21 yrs - she was sent to prison at 16 for killing the 71 yr old reverend who had been sexually assaulting her
In addition to abusing Patrice, the reverend had asked her to recruit other teenagers for commercial sex & threatened to tell her father about their “relationship" if she didn't continue to submit to sexual assault
Patrice is one of the first survivors to benefit from the Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act in New York. This is the first re-sentencing to be granted over the prosecutor’s objection, and Patrice is the first person to be freed who was potentially facing life in prison.

Watching this latest episode of The Vow I realize that Keith Raniere was the original incel
He literally says men are prisoners of women's control over sex and I am ready to time travel to Albany 2012 to fight him
And that women have a princess fantasy and men hate women because they have to spend their lives catering to them 🙃

Each face she made was perfectly toned and timed, and treated Pence with the response that he deserved; speaking and looking at him like a toddler who needs to be taught why you can’t do bad things: Patient, if a little put out. Smarter than him, but willing to explain.

1) That's stupid
2) This has nothing to do with Barrett being an "accomplished woman" and everything to do with venerating a particular brand of femininity (ie pretty white mothers who read as docile)

Like no one was worried about coming across as a bully when questioning Cecile Richards or Hillary Clinton
To a certain extent, this is what made Christine Blasey Ford difficult for the GOP - she read as quiet and docile. That's why they didn't attack her as a liar, but instead kept saying she was "mistaken."

There’s no such thing as conservative feminism
In fact I wrote that piece two years ago! nytimes.com/2018/05/19/opi…
