America’s still terrified of powerful women in politics.
It’s pure misogyny baked into the system. Add race to the mix and it’s on a whole different level of hate that most won’t even admit. Time to get over that shit!
Let’s take a step forward on Tuesday.

I want the media to stop hounding Labour women.
We need women in politics.
Labour needs to protect women. This is an urgent priority.
Regulate the media. Do it now.

I would really really like someone to write about the gender politics of the youth with a focus on young women
it is not universal across every measurement of a gender divide in politics, but it is more common than not that the real outlier finding is how liberal and feminist young women are

As a woman our media no longer reflect my views. They’re misogynistic and are out to hound women in politics. Their constant focus on migration has no relevance to me. I will never pay for media again.
They don’t target Farage and they never targeted Johnson, they’re biased.

ZKM may fail as mayor but he’ll always be an important figure in New York politics because he - standing on the shoulders of brave women who deserved better - finally forced this disgusting man out of the Democratic Party.
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

There's a lot of respectability politics surrounding trans men, as in how we are supposed to act, like a punishment for "betraying women" for transitioning, we need to be "good/kind men at all times"
So anyway I strongly support trans men being mean.

In a place full of delegates— men and women in business and politics— a loud cheer for ARMY. People know how powerful we are.
Aaaaaaaand… Kim Seokjin uses *that* to his advantage and threaten people with us. 😭😅😂

2 reasons some are surprised: Victorian essentialism that imagines women in rightwing marriages must be captives (see the *years* of "free Melania"); conflation of talent w/ morality (& morality w/ good politics.) Hines is a great comic actor, w/ very ugly politics, doing real damage in the world.
Here she is.
Tucker Carlson: “If the vaccine is effective and you take it, then why does it matter if I take it?”
Cheryl Hines: “It doesn’t make any sense.”
Tucker: “So ‘my body, my choice’ was not a real thing, it turned out.”
“It’s your body, my choice.”
Cheryl: “Yeah, your body, my choice.”

I'm really interested in to what degree and in what ways gen z feminism and the lib/left politics of gen z women is different from that of millennial women
like until gen z women came along and beat them with hammers millennial women were the most lib/left demographic we'd ever seen

This. I am experiencing a bunch of weirdo mystical bullshit rooted in the absurdly strong sense of connection I feel with other trans women. And the tendency the exclude based on that connection must be fought at every turn. Politics is about fucking POLITICS however you identify.
I'd take an "enby cissexual she/they" who's a communist over a transsexual woman who's a liberal any day of the week, even if I feel a solidarity with said-transsexual woman, I want to sef-organise with politics that actually reflect my beliefs lol

Straight men don’t like to talk about politics unless they think it will lead to to a heated argument that culminates in hot sex. Yes, they are that stupid.
Straight guys are like, “I have a car, job, and a place of my own,” and they think that’s all women should care about.

Lots of people say, We need more women in politics, or Things won't change until women are all or most of our leaders. Yet women are harassed and threatened out of politics, as research shows, and it's not that we're scaredy cats, it's demonstrably worse. Thesis/antithesis.

Yeah that's what I mean. It's the biggest and stupidest own goal in the history of politics. It's rough to explain to people that this so called pro life bill is bad because it prevents women from the only possible medical intervention when they've miscarried

This is not the church I grew up in. BTW, politics was never preached from the pulpit, and on church grounds it was not allowed by peers. It was considered rude. Believe it or not, this was rural western KY. We even had women deacons in the church.

This is the standardised response you're likely to get. Sure, you cannot control the result of Ray Chung being re elected. But what is your plan to make women feel safer in politics in Wellington? Because you're not going to be subjected to racist misogynist abuse (out of sight /mind). #nzpol

No, this is real. A very common strain of thought in the 'new misogyny' is that women are hastening the Great White Replacement Theory through adopting liberal/left leaning politics, such as welcoming in refugees.
New misogyny does mass shootings because women as a category have wronged you the white man. I think inceldom is repugnant even to misogynists. Sorry for rambling but I think that genuinely explains it
