“Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream society.” - Rush Limbaugh
Without fail, the men retweeting this with "where's the lie" resemble gangrenous thumbs
What's sort of incredible about anti-feminism is that it never really progressed past "you're ugly & barren"

They've been saying the same tired shit for decades

Points for consistency I guess

Most medically eligible folks I know who got the vaccine in NYC were only asked to sign a self-attestation, not show medical records.

This is absolutely the right move to ensure that the most marginalized communities get vaccinated.
Yes, people will skip the line & that sucks - but if you don't have access to regular medical care, you can't get records or a letter from your doctor.
The system already privileges those with access to the internet, enough time to hit refresh ten times an hour and the ability to travel far from home to get the vaccine - this is the least the state/city could do.

Re: the latest 'cancel culture' kerfuffle at the NYT: If your concern is the chilling effect on people who want to say the n-word rather than the students who may be put off journalism entirely after hearing a top reporter use a slur... your priorities are very clear
This is what always happens when powerful white men are held to account - the empathy is centered on them rather than the many, many other people who were hurt by their actions
That's why during #MeToo, we kept hearing about men's "ruined lives" rather than the the dashed careers of the women who left jobs or industries because of harassment

This is disgusting and *dangerous* and @netflix needs to answer for it humorism.xyz/p/netflix-goes…
It is baffling that this kind of racism - which we know leads to real life violence against Asian people - was approved by @netflix

I dunno, I’d say men individually & systemically trying to erase and demean women’s achievements is a “real divide” to at least half the population
Women hear this kind of shit *every day* and it gets to the heart of who is allowed to wield power, and who gets condescending messages from rotting old men
Everyone knows this is not really about the honorific!

It’s about misogyny so embedded in institutions that a guy with a long-known history of sexism was elevated to a position where he could publish another guy with a long-known history of bigotry.

If you're wondering why the @WSJ ran that misogynist piece about Dr. Jill Biden, lets take a closer look at James Taranto, the man in charge of op-eds.

He's called efforts to stop military rape a "war on men" & "an effort to criminalize male sexuality"
wsj.com/articles/SB100…
Taranto has called feminism a "totalitarianism mindset" and said "the nastiness of contemporary feminism is an indication of its intellectual weakness."

He's also bemoaned that "women can have sex without the fear of pregnancy, just like men can." (?!)
huffpost.com/entry/james-ta…
Taranto has also written that "evolutionary psychology contradicts the feminist dogma that the sexes are created equal" and after 3 men died in a shooting shielding their girlfriends, tweeted: "I hope the girls..were worthy of the sacrifice.” mediamatters.org/wall-street-jo…

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
