Wait, the GQP is run by a bunch of misogynist hacks?! Who knew?!? 😱

“Republicans have already named who they intend to take over each committee, but it won't be official until all members are sworn in on Jan. 3. So, Republicans can make changes before then and ensure there is some female representation in the assignments, but doing so would admit they need more diversity, equity and inclusion.”

Referring to me as "it" because I point out that you're mansplaining is a dehumanisation tactic.

Using "it" to describe an Aboriginal person is anti-Indigenous, and especially gross to describe a queer and trans Aboriginal person.

Dehumanising people who have less socio-political power than you is toxic and a further extension of your oppressive behaviour.

Talking about how you "hope it gets the help it so desperately needs" is ableist sealioning.

You're just proving my original point, my guy.

Also, it's just boring at this point.

National Science Foundation: At what age do children begin identifying with STEM? The answer is younger than we thought. ” David Miller and his team at the American Institutes for Research conducted the largest-ever study on children’s STEM stereotypes by synthesizing 98 studies across 33 nations spanning over four decades of data and representing more than 145,000 children.

I just had a man in Coles walk up to me and ask me where the scissors are. I pointed to a guy standing in the aisle who was wearing a Coles uniform and said "he works here."

The man responded with "that's ok, I don't want to bother him.." and walked away.

I swear to the gods that these men have no sense of self preservation.

It's not unusual for companies to donate to "both sides", during an election.

For #Election2024 there is a long list of companies who donate only to 45, and in big amounts.

One can guess they hated the changes to the minimum wage, the positive changes for the environment (the EPA fighting pollution), Biden promoting EVs, among other things during the #BidenHarris administration.

And the #racism & #sexism still prevalent in the US, fortified the backlash against #Harris.

A Trump cabinet full of alleged sexual predators? Here’s why it makes perfect senseThe Conversation

I still see a lot of people saying "Women are this way" or "Men are this way".... Can we not define the way people are, or what people are, by what they have in between their legs or other biology, or put people into a single group of character based on their biological attributes? That would be nice. #gender #identity #sexism #racism

CW: misogyny on the rise after Trump victory

Probably not a surprise: the manosphere feels emboldened after Trump's victory, and are amping up their rhetoric and violent threats both online and off. Aside from "your body, my choice", another of their disgusting rallying cries is "Repeal the 19th", referring to the amendment granting women voting rights.
