This is a country that 2x rejected qualified women as POTUS & chose a *serial rapist* instead.
This is a country where women's civil rights vary at the whims of 50 state legislatures.
But ask Americans to identify the biggest problems facing us: misogyny is so baked in it's almost never mentioned.

I think the most intractable form of bigotry might be misogyny solely because we have a lot do studies that suggest that when dominant populations (read: straight white males) are heavily exposed to people who are different from them they become less biased — with one exception
I would say this is a Streisand Effect thing except that it IS A BIG DEAL that the President is a rapist (proven by a court but weirdly media run mostly by male leadership seems to treat like a sideshow) but this also seems like evidence that he’s a PEDOPHILE is being withheld

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.
"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

Broligarchs against democracy: my essay in @theatlantic.bsky.social, based on my new book, "Offshore: Stealth Wealth & the New Colonialism" (shorturl.at/rTacl).
They're high-tech's opponents of democracy & their motto is: "Liberty, oligarchy & fraternity."
