One particularly damning quote:
“Indeed, misandry, as I see it, can never reliably be prevented from collapsing into transphobia.”
How do these people not understand the transphobia of their own insistence that trans women and cis men have the same interests?

This essay also touches on something I’ve found especially painful: the hostility of some queer and psychoanalytic thinkers toward lesbian and radical feminist intellectuals—and the defensive, misogynist rejection of feminist idealism that motivates it. taliabhattwrites.substack.com/p/political-...

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.
this is all it’s really about for them. Not domestic policy, not “economic anxiety”, just an endless desire to punish stand-ins for the Mommy who forced them take a bath, even if it tanks their own quality of life.

ICE marking a queer life as worthless ties both to how US police forces have long treated queer folks and recent ICE murders of Black and Latine people in LA and Chicago. Queer liberation is Black liberation is immigrant justice is abolitionist politics.
There's a group of freaks running the country who think the video is exculpatory because it shows the kind of person that they think should be killed, and they're telling all of us that as a kind of insider vice signaling

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

A 6 year old came home from school today, excited to tell her mom about her day, the fun she had & the art she made, and found out she'll never be able to because she was murdered by Trump's secret police and people are really discussing the best way to reintegrate these stormtroopers into society.

It’s by design at this point.
They build us up, and lie in waiting for us to nick their egos so they can justify turning one of us into the next whipping girl they can project all their hatred of cis men onto.

That's exactly the playbook they ran with trans people. Getting fans folks fired from jobs, doxing, harassment, death threats etc. There's an entire cottage industry of right wing influencers who do this for clout and money.
The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.
