I would like to bring Barbara Ehrenreich back to life and give her a gun

I know Lindy West is making us all think about the shortcomings of Millennial feminism, but Gen Z feminism seems to mostly be about having coquette aesthetics and believing sodomy dooms your immortal soul, so we may look back fondly on Lindy in due course.

All heterosexual sex occurs underneath the patriarchy. Acknowledging that women’s oppression extends to the bedroom is the bare minimum of feminism. ‘Sex positivity’ is facile, sex deserves the same critical analysis as anything else. Sex neutrality is the correct position
Dr. Mia Brett@QueenMab87
Can y’all please stop this little rebellion against sex positive feminism? I assure you it’s actually not liberatory to proclaim all heterosexual/penetrative sex degrading to women. It’s really too close to saying sex makes women dirty and impure

women are becoming brain damaged from men choking them during sex

thinking about the possibility (worse, inevitability) of an entire generation of women paralysed, impaired, incontinent, & dead from “sex” that you deem isn’t “vanilla” or “boring”

Being a feminist leftist in the 2010s as a young person was intolerable bc of her and people like her. It’s terrible what her husband did to her however so I feel like an asshole saying so. Which is precisely what Jessica Leventi and Jude Doyle and Lindy West rely upon!

ok now that everyone has turned against Lindy West, can I get something off my chest that's been bothering me since 2010? I know it was a different time, but it bothered me in 2010 too

syllabuses used to be austere, manly, and demanding documents. none of this DEI handholding. At Brown, all our syllabi were uploaded to the Deleuzian plane of immanence. That’s how you learned to read “against the grain.” one time Tim Bewes took a call from Lukács during class

im sick of people tweeting about the MARTA in atlanta as if it was bad on accident. MARTA is one of the worst transit systems in the world very specifically because of Anti Black Racism and abandonment. there are tons of reports and books about it. go read.

Being a state school grad married to an ivy grad is like an infinite money glitch but for eye roll jokes. Do you know how much joy it brings me when I get to say, whoah whoah whoah they didn’t teach us to count that high at Alabama

Prestige aura is extremely powerful. I know a girl who left a $500K/year private equity job to attend Harvard Business School. Why? She did Michigan undergrad due to Ivy rejections & couldn’t get over the insecurity, the giant chip on her shoulders.

This happens a lot at land grant universities. For obvious reasons.

I interviewed 20 senior admins and profs for this story. They painted a similar picture: under Alexander, Mellon became monomaniacally obsessed with social justice, almost exclusively funding work advancing political causes at the expense of more traditional humanities work. 4/

unwittingly you've met transgender persons whom you have not even noticed. a courteous cashier, a friendly waitress, a relative of a friend. they are human beings like you. they are not demons, villains. you didn't even notice them. really, you don't have to protect women & girls from them, to the degree that you might need to protect girls & women from random men who commit by far the majority of violent acts against girls & women.
if you doubt this, look up the statistics regarding rape & rape/murder. who commits those acts? when a pregnant woman is killed, who is most likely to have killed her?
seriously: do the research.

Most people don't particularly care about trans people but they love the women and girls in their life. Not motivated by hate

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:
"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

thinking of several friends no longer living, all of them men, & all very gifted, distinguished writers, who'd refused to acquire cell phones, disdained email & computers, but managed to make their way with the assistance of spouses or children; in their lifetimes it was still possible to remain "off the grid" --even using, not computers, but typewriters. their independence was a kind of arrogance & did depend upon others' helping them out.
with their deaths, there remains no one whom I know in that category of older male curmudgeon disdaining "modern gadgets."

a sheer panic sets in as my seemingly real office disintegrates around me. My students have been but a mere illusion, a fabrication of my own mind. My salary and pension just hallucinated coins, all laughing in my face as i realise my job has been but a figment of my imagination

@CartoonsHateHer There’s a Netflix sci-fi film from 2015 called ADVANTAGEOUS. The plot is that the job market has been decimated by AI; the government, believing it is too socially dangerous for men to be unemployed, has banned women from most jobs, creating the “trad” world these men wish for.

Funny how I said that there was a movement of men who deliberately wanted to reduce jobs and make the economy worse if it meant they could get laid and I was told it was a libcuck delusion and I was making it up and "nobody was saying that."
