Another way to say "not all men". Because in a society that collectively oppresses women with lower pay, sexual harassment, rape, domestic violence, etc, the real sexism is when people make men feel bad.
Nb4 anyone comes in to say men can be victims of those crimes. Yeah. Mostly caused by other men.

One of my ongoing issues with people describing men who commit heinous acts as “monsters” or saying “those aren’t real men” is that it successfully otherises the problem instead of acknowledging the issue that is male violence. The only reason we do this is to protect men’s feelings.

The greatest joy in my life as an academic is being asked this type of question
the greatest joy in my life is asking overly qualified academics really dumb questions about the field of study they have devoted their lives to (i.e. did medieval people smoke weed?)
it's here! a really fun conversation with our friends at @wowiftrue.bsky.social podcast about "crusadercore" and which group of medieval people would be the best Twitch streamers.
have a listen and please share widely! #medievalsky

One of the stupid things about the Epstein files is people keep pretending we're going to find in them the facts the victims, who are also the witnesses, have been testifying to for years and years. We already know. Of course he doesn't want to. Of course X is its own child-abuse nexus.....

I just yelled at someone for this, but sitting in your pants at home and judging people outside in -5 degree weather protesting through song because they’re not being “violent enough to kill all the Nazis” is the most online thing I’ve ever seen. Go out and touch some grass.

Can’t understand why YOU are struggling with imposter syndrome when both Andrew Tate and Donald Trump are out there thinking they’re the hottest, most intelligent people on the planet. Free yourself immediately by telling your brain to shut the fuck up.

The main business model of Silicon Valley from Uber to AirBnB to Spotify is: skim profit off others' goods and labor. Often in ways that are exploitative of individuals or destructive of larger forces (as with Amazon and the retail that kept people heading out in public).

1000s of women gave repeated testimony of how a wealthy group of predators raped and abused them. And when the files to prove it come out, society gives all the credit to conspiracy theorists “for being right.”

we cannot "good intentions" our way out of genocide, pedophilia, etc. 👏👏 people choose to stay ignorant because it benefits them. 👏👏 we must do better. 👏👏
The West loves its smol bean fascism where everyone was simply ignorant or didn’t know when they were voting fascism in three times and Fox News is to blame and it is always someone else’s fault but not white America.
I am once again stating the obvious by saying that the whole “low information voters” thing is a media tactic to normalise Trumpism because what do you mean these people have the capacity to find EVERY conspiracy theory about climate change and trans people, but none to believe Trump is evil.

assuming that harm could only come from people who are ignorant or uneducated seems to make some educated people feel a lot better about the situation
but it doesn't match the reality
especially given how many academics are in the Epstein files

You know, Helen of Troy was fathered by a swan and born from an egg but I’m not hearing any swan complaining she doesn’t represent them accurately. Probably because the swans are aware of how mythology works and that she is a FICTIONAL CHARACTER.

Also can I just please point out about the racist discourse about Odyssey casting: this woman is quite literally the eighth wonder of the world and if anyone thinks that this face would NOT launch a million ships, please go to specsavers and get your eyesight tested immediately.

No one who has seen the Epstein case unfold should have any doubt left about why victims don’t report. When reporting means facing more abuse, more exploitation, and more betrayal at the institutional level, while the perpetrators are the leaders of the very systems of “justice” supposed to help you

For the people insisting that there will be consequences for this, if wealthy white men actually faced consequences the slave owners would have been guillotined. Instead many of them were paid for “loss of property”.
