it's gender. the answer is that sexual violence is both the structuring logic of power in a patriarchal society and its chief enforcement mechanism, and there is no relationship of power more steep than adult/child-- the child's body is the archetypal site of legitimate, authority-producing violence
everyone is always choosing between two equally reactionary ideas--"elite pedophile cabal" vs "CSA is an overblown hysteria that causes witch hunts any time it's even mentioned"--because they are equally anti-feminist answers to a question that only feminists can answer. and no one wants that answer

The first mistake was trying to quit masturbating. Frankly, that's way more embarrassing than any other data they leaked.

This is completely shocking. The police and CPS prosecuted a woman for allegedly making up rape allegation, despite strong evidence that she had been raped.

Tumblr is such a different world. 99% of what I post there gets no response at all. But these Animorph covers, they’re eating them up. They’re still circulating months later. Should I post them again here? Here they are again.

This technique is so common it's called the Glass Cliff
Then when it inevitably crashes, MAGA types will say "Well, we put a woman in charge and CBS's reputation tanked, imagine that."

I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children.
They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.

heterosexuality is a fascist regime and y’all do not hate it enough. like yeah is this ridiculous and mockable? yes. it’s also fundamental to the current rise of right wing fascism in the West.
saying men like this are secretly gay is absolutely underestimating your enemy, not to mention homophobic

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

People catastrophizing about a precedent where no one can mark anything down anymore for being wrong when the real precedent is trans people not being able to do literally any job without an army of bigots launching a harassment campaign against their employer.
a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

Epstein was an American-made monster.
An underqualified striver who got rich selling young girls and tax evasion to powerful men.
He got richer by blackmailing them in the service of even more powerful men.
Epstein’s not an aberration. He’s the result of a culture that celebrates despicable men.👇

When you’re so deep into dehumanising refugees you convince yourself there must be a nefarious reason they take care of their children rather than yknow, love
BBC News: "the government believe refugees are deliberately bringing their children to avoid deportation"
As opposed to doing what with their children??

The demonization of feminism has been so successful that you can say something as anodyne as “I think women are oppressed as women, and that gender is a hierarchy” and people will come at you like, “Wow. I didn’t know you were a racist.”
I don't know who needs to hear this but if your worldview is stereotyping men based on statistics you have just created a permission structure to do the same thing to black men.
