Right now I'm very proud to be an Alum of @wesleyanuniversity.bsky.social , whose president Michael Roth has the courage to not obey in advance, to defend institutions, to stand out, to believe in truth, to be a patriot, and to be courageous: slate.com/life/2025/02...

in my experience the genuine male feminists are just like, nice to women and treat them normally and don’t start podcasts or seek awards for it. performative behavior should always be a red flag.
