Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place.
Once you’ve conceded that it’s reasonable to ask whether women’s equality was a mistake, you’ve already lost.

Criticizing men broadly is unforgivable, because there are SOME men who don’t do the things you’re criticizing, but using rhetoric that demeans ALL women gets a pass because it’s completely normalized and actually rewarded

Political rhetoric is feeding the narrative that aggression towards women is normative & socially acceptable. Anti-DEI & Trump's misogynistic labels of female reporters are recent examples. We must normalize women in leadership & public life. @josiecox.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
The World Is Losing Trust in Women Leaders
Women are reaching the top of politics and business in record numbers. So why is confidence in them stagnating?

We can participate in democracy and be flawed while also having non-negotiable. No nazis. No racists. We aren’t abandoning trans people. Triple the minimum wage. Universal healthcare. Reproductive freedom. Etc etc etc. Stand for something! Appeasement accomplishes very little.
