These are people who think that it's good that promiscuous folks get STDs, because it's Their Punishment For Sinning or some bullshit like that.
Oh, and that teen pregnancies are natural and good. Can't forget that.
If any of you #men following me missed my mutuals' post - expressing gratitude for men who stepped up & helped take on some of the emotional labour than women have shouldered - please read it, first:
disabled.social/@vlrny/1163251โฆ
Then - make your own decision on whether to be a silent enabler of misogyny or a comrade to women who have to deal with misogynist wankerbutternoodles here.
You also can choose to support anti-ableism by speaking out against it, in public (like many women already have!) or keep on silently enabling it by choosing to be friendly to ableists who are also misogynistic.
Many women & disabled folks are watching. We notice who steps up & who does not. You can do better than stay silent about misogynists - as men - that call has to come, loudly, from within the mens' arena. You can do better than silently enable ableism - that call has to come from non-disabled folks.
Stop being OK with letting women & disabled folks take more hits - because you lack courage to take some of the emotional labour off our overburdened backs.
*You're supposed to feel some discomfort reading this - if you've failed to use your privileges as men to do better than be silent enablers of your fellow men.*

Also - piss right off to anyone who thinks if you're a POC queer, you can't possibly ever be a misogynistic ableist wankerbutternoodle. That's completely untrue.
I have dealt with more than one misogynistic ableist POC queer before. One got kicked out of a resistance camp on mainland because they were a raging racist to one of our black comrades & they also said disabled people should go home. Another I knew was kicked out of wellness healing circles for making racist comments towards Black & Latino comrades.

Meanwhile, Israel takes it by force, then spreads Islamophobic hate against the Palestinian Muslims who have kept the peace for a millenium between 6 ancient Christian churches who can't coexist peacefully without them.
"For over 850 years, two Palestinian Muslim families have been entrusted with the keys to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, the holiest shrine for Christianity. The keys were created on July 15, 1149. The leader Salah Al-Din (Saladin) assigned the keys to the Joudeh Al-Husseini family on February 10, 1187, as the sole legitimate custodian of the keys and for the Nuseibeh family to open and close the doors of the church. These two Palestinian Muslim families have been performing this duty of honor every single day in a spirit of goodwill and respect for both faiths."

The FTC said OkCupid and Match shared nearly 3 million user photos with Clarifai in 2014, along with location and demographic data, without telling users or offering an opt-out. The proposed settlement, filed in federal court, includes no financial penalty and no admission of wrongdoing. It would permanently bar OkCupid and Match from misrepresenting how they collect, use, share, delete, or protect personal data and privacy controls.

There've been a couple of cultural dust ups on fedi in the last few weeks and I just wanted to thank the men who've boosted and uplifted the voices of women calling bullshit, and especially those taking the time to talk to men individually trying to explain why they are out of line.
Women often complain (justifiably!) about having to do all the emotional labour in social settings and it is just so beautiful to see men stepping up.
Serious respect, mah dudes!

Former House representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced her candidacy for SLUG queen after relocating to Eugene from Georgia, her home state. Greene resigned her House seat in January, and since then, has renounced MAGA politics and President Donald Trump over the Epstein files, health care costs and the war in Iran.

An argument against birthright citizenship. Or perhaps better, arguing against the expansive definition being used today.
"Birthright citizenship" isn't required by the Constitution, no matter how many pundits tell you otherwise. Tomorrow, the Supreme Court hears oral arguments to decide the matter once and for all.Rod D. Martin (The Rod Martin Report)
I think #HeatPump clothes dryers are a technology we need to embrace, due to them being more efficient and also not spewing a cloud of microplastics out the side of your house.
However, I really wish #Whirlpool had considered how people could clean lint out of the heat exchangers without taking the whole damn unit apart.
