@AnthonyFStevens

Calling Boris Johnson 'Doris', a women's name, as an insult, constitutes #misogyny

This isn't to say you're a misogynist, but that the ethical basis for your support of #Starmer and I suspect, by extension, the ethical case for voting for Starmer, as a viable alternative to Tory fascists, is shaky at best.

in So You Want To Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oulo proposes:

#AffirmativeAction is a crucial tool if we want to mitigate some of the effects of systemic #racism and #misogyny in our society. It should not be rolled back; in fact, I argue that it should be expanded to other groups that suffer from systemic oppression as well. Why? Because it works. No, it doesn’t work wonders, but affirmative action can do some good for those who need it, and it can do some good for a society that wants to value #equality and #diversity.”

@GraniteGeek The music was tangential to my point, but every generation has a tendency to see their youth as ideal. However, I think the music of the 50-70s, at least portions, was more politically influenced. But it is hard to argue that that period was not transformative toward a broadening of the definition of human rights, remediation of a horribly checkered (putting it mildly) past of a nation founded on "All Men, etc". Even that phrase points to the "Paternal" bias/ #misogyny baked in.

Friendly reminder Incels are easily incited into bullying, terrorism, and fascist action.

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Gamergate

Gamergate is what happened when the reactionary rejects of 4chan teamed up to be the personal army of an abuser and attack women who make and write about video games with a molecule-thin veneer of being a consumer movement for "free speech" and "ethics in video game journalism".

"there’s a collective tendency to assume that society gets progressively better, more equal; but every day brings another grim reminder that we’re living through an epidemic of misogyny. If it is hard for adults to process that reality, it is even worse for children. … exposure to sexist abuse is crippling girls’ self-esteem. But let’s not forget that boys are also navigating their way through this cesspit."

Good piece by @zoesqwilliams looking at the culture #Brand is surrounded with, comparing 90s ladism with a mainstream violent #misogyny she says arrived towards the end of the naughties (around the same time as the proliferation of broadband and unregulated porn+SAM?) and remains today. Ends with a chilling line:

'For the first time, in surveys about social attitudes, the “youngest cohort surveyed have significantly more extreme misogynist attitudes than the oldest.”'

The alt-right (short for alternative right) is a far-right movement that opposes tolerance, multiculturalism, and social justice (items they file under "Cultural Marxism" and "SJW").] Their racist ideology, including Social Darwinism, #eugenics, and #ecofascism, is rooted in the ideology of Progressive Era white supremacists (and birth control activists) Madison Grant and Lothrop Stoddard, who their hate-ridden websites frequently extol.

The movement is largely internet-based, made up of frustrated late-blooming teens-to-20-somethings, and is the merger of traditional white nationalists, neo-Nazis, right-libertarians, and neo-Confederates overlapping the neoreactionary movement, #Gamergate, and the #manosphere. The alt-right consensus of the day generally rests at the juncture of those three groups. The term originated with Richard Spencer's white nationalist magazine/blog Alternative Right, nicknamed "AltRight".

#Rationalwiki #altright #racism #misogyny
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Alt-right

A sign that was held up at an anti-alt-right rally, giving two definitions of "alt-right", the first describes describes "right alternative" in set theory using mathematical notation, and the second defines "alternative right" as "A person is said to be alternative right if they are a NAZI PIECE OF SHIT."

Maren Morris is getting the hell out of country music: ‘I’ve said everything I can say’

She says she’s leaving because of what she views as the country music industry’s unwillingness to honestly reckon with its history of #racism and #misogyny and to open its gates to more women and queer people and people of color.

Morris — a six-time winner at the Country Music Assn. Awards with four No. 1 hits on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart — describes her new release, "The Bridge" as a deliberate transition between her Nashville success and whatever comes next.

‘Woman Life Freedom,’ One Year Later

It has been a year since the women of Iran took to the streets to throw their headscarves into bonfires, while chanting, “Zan Zendegi Azadi” —“Woman Life Freedom.” Their fury was triggered by the killing of a young Kurdish-Iranian woman, Mahsa Jina Amini, who died in the custody of the Morality Police following her arrest for the crime of wearing a “bad hijab.”

Why is mum-shaming still a thing in 2023? Is it because society still won’t let women fully express themselves?
‘Bad mother’ behaviour seems to include anything that even hints at maternal ambivalence or a desire for more freedom
It’s hard enough being a working mother of young children, especially one in the process of getting divorced, without being smeared in the press as a bad mum.

While the language of the draft ordinance explicitly states that it would apply to people transporting “any individual for the purpose of providing or obtaining an elective abortion,” the mayor, Marion Bishop, said the term “abortion trafficking” did not apply to women who were choosing to get abortions “on their own free volition.”

“It would be people who were either coerced or undecided, who found themselves loaded onto a van and headed somewhere,” Bishop said in an interview at the vodka distillery he owns downtown.

Pressed on the contradiction between his statement and the language of the proposal, Bishop acknowledged that what he originally said “may not be totally accurate.”

Still, he said, he continues to support the ordinance, which he views as largely symbolic.

Text from article:
A director of Right to Life of East Texas, Dickson joined forces with former Texas solicitor general Jonathan Mitchell in 2019, when abortion was still legal in Texas until 22 weeks of pregnancy. Together, the men set out to ban abortion city by city, focusing on conservative strongholds. The Texas ordinances relied on the novel enforcement mechanism that empowers private citizens to sue, creating the model for the statewide “heartbeat ban” that took effect exactly two years ago, on Sept. 1, 2021.

Since Roe fell, triggering a new ban that outlawed almost all abortions in Texas, Dickson and Mitchell have changed their strategy. Along with passing ordinances in conservative border towns in Democrat-led states, where abortion providers may look to open new clinics, the team has zeroed in on those helping women leave Texas for abortions — a practice they call “abortion trafficking.”

Text from article:
More than a year after Roe v. Wade was overturned, many conservatives have grown frustrated by the number of people able to circumvent antiabortion laws — with some advocates grasping for even stricter measures they hope will fully eradicate abortion nationwide.

That frustration is driving a new strategy in heavily conservative cities and counties across Texas. Designed by the architects of the state’s “heartbeat” ban that took effect months before Roe fell, ordinances like the one proposed in Llano — where some 80 percent of voters in the county backed President Donald Trump in 2020 — make it illegal to transport anyone to get an abortion on roads within the city or county limits. The laws allow any private citizen to sue a person or organization they suspect of violating the ordinance.

Antiabortion advocates behind the measure are targeting regions along interstates and in areas with airports, with the goal of blocking off the main arteries out of Texas and keeping pregnant women hemmed within the confines of their antiabortion state. These provisions have already passed in two counties and two cities, creating legal risk for those traveling on major highways including Interstate 20 and Route 84, which head toward New Mexico, where abortion remains legal and new clinics have opened to accommodate Texas women. Several more jurisdictions are expected to vote on the measure in the coming weeks.

If Andrew Tate & Jordan Peterson represent what modern Capitalism wants to prop up as a voice for Men™, Im happy / proud to be both unpropped up & an anticapitalist Feminist crank.

Saw a headline: “Woman slammed for flying with 18 pieces of luggage.”

It intentionally uses #sexism and #misogyny to mislead and misframe what the story is ACTUALLY about.

It’s the woman, her husband, and infant twins, and the luggage includes strollers and carseats. They still packed suitcases beyond their allotment, but they were flying from Australia to the US and had a ton of stuff to take care of their kids.

So, hey, #NewYorkPost: 🖕🏽 This is LITERAL #FakeNews.

In “Petro-masculinity: Fossil Fuels and Authoritarian Desire” (2018), Cara Daggett explains why #climate denial and #misogyny so often go together.

She makes a powerful argument that the patriarchal power structures in our society are deeply entwined with our fossil-fuel based economy.

Noted moron #Rubiales claims he is being targeted by "false feminism." Okay let's take his version as accurate - according to him, in the hype of celebration he asked #Hermoso for a kiss. IDGAF if she said yes; the mere fact that he asked IS the problem. His infantile behavior trying to defend himself now is only further evidence the guy has to go. #WWC2023 #Spain #MastodonFC #FIFA #corruption #misogyny

"MAGA politics, after all, is about the subtext: Great for whom? The emphasis on the word Again gives away the game. It won’t be great in the future for the people who didn’t have it great in the past."

"In a reactionary political movement desperately trying to reestablish the racial and sexual hierarchies of the past, pervasive fear of Black history is not hard to fathom. The more accurate the history that Americans learn, especially about the centuries-long Black struggle against violent White supremacy, the more morally and politically indefensible is the cry of Make America Great Again."

Reporter: You're the first person ever to win two Olympic tennis gold medals. That's an extraordinary feat, isn't it?

Andy Murray: I think Venus and Serena have won about four each.

one of those things about misogyny is: whether a man says "you'd make a good wife" or "no man would ever have you for a wife," it's an insult. remarkable!

(fun fact: half the time, these remarks come from women! like your mom, or an auntie. that's the power of patriarchy: it gets women to do the dirty work of keeping the next generation of girls in line)

(these kinds of statements are called "down girl" moves by kate manne in her book of the same name. they are meant to make clear the relation between the one saying it & the one it's directed at: "you are below me. i can say this to you and what are you gonna do about it?")

@w7voa Wow. Never really thought about Chess in terms of sexual equality. I came across this though, after seeing your post. https://new.uschess.org/womens Even though we think of the game as an elevated, cerebral activity, it still bumps up against #sexism & #misogyny.
I can see why women & girls might want to have their own spaces.
Even so, last place I'd anticipated trans debate raising its head.

Trans women have been barred from competing in chess tournaments

There are valid arguments for women's only chess leagues due to misogyny being a factor in gaming and sporting performance (although trans women also experience that)

Of course this isn't about fairness in sports it's about purging trans people

It also appears to imply that GCs believe men are innately superior to women at *chess*

I’m constantly struck by parallels between slaveholders trying to force people in non-slavery states to participate in maintaining slavery (e.g. Fugitive Slave Acts) and this sort of behavior. #Alabama senator #Tuberville is holding up promotions to force the military to stop covering travel for medical care that includes #abortion.
