Same River, Twice: #Putin’s War on Women by Sofi Oksanen – review - https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/apr/14/same-river-twice-sofi-oksanen-review-putin-war-on-women "This harrowing study of the Russian leader’s weaponising of sexual violence argues that #misogyny goes hand in hand with imperialism"
Great to learn about a female scientist, through sadly having to battle #misogyny with her research partner:
"Instead, for a time, he favored the Expanding Earth hypothesis,[20][21] (now infamously) dismissing her explanation as "girl talk".[22]"
"An entire generation of men has been conditioned to embrace the worst aspects of an alleged 'strongman.' Trump is the flagbearer, and he has minions all across social media and right-wing news outlets. They understand that politics runs downstream from culture and can Trojan horse their authoritarian politics through sports, gambling, video games, and comedy."

I didn’t “enjoy” #Adolescence. I found it excruciating to watch. And I certainly don’t want my personal #Netflix algorithms to direct me to more shows like it. I honestly don’t think my old, #queer heart could take that!

Is the shit music caused by being shit humans, or is that mere coincidence?

MAGA's war on empathy exposes misogynist fears
Elon Musk and the Christian right call empathy "toxic" and "suicidal" — blame their shared misogyny

Anti-empathy = death cult: the #DOJ's disgusting delay of #Abrego Garcia's return; the kidnapping of the #RumeysaOzturk #KhalilMahmoud's imprisonment; cuts to #Medicaid, #SocialSecurity, #Alzheimer's research & "So it Goes" to quote #Vonnegut.
"Trump's sociopathy now outranks the empathy of Jesus in MAGA eyes. But there's another angle to this, as well: This is about the MAGA right's unhinged obsession w/gender & escalating hatred of women."

"I have never seen an anti-feminist backlash quite like the one we are living through. The embrace of misogyny is thorough and unapologetic. It transcends just about every aspect of this administration, from the president down through his followers.

Today my husband told off someone for their #misogyny in front of god and like 500 people.
I'm so proud of him. He always stands up for people when he sees them being abused.
@GottaLaff @LiamEgan @Doppelganger75 Requiring women who have changed their surname to re-register in order to vote is one impediment the GOP is currently considering adding to their ever-expanding voter suppression toolbox. #GOP #VoterSuppression #Misogyny
"U.S. Navy Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, the only woman on NATO's military committee, was fired over the weekend by the Trump administration. . . .Chatfield is the third top female officer to be fired since Trump took office." abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory... #misogyny #sexism #WomanHatred #resist
Trump administration fires sen...
"Vice Adm Shoshana Chatfield has been fired. She was the first woman to lead the US Naval War College in Newport, RI. Her tenure made her a target of conservative advocacy, claiming she was overly concerned with DEI.
Chatfield served as America’s rep to the NATO MIL CMTE, the alliance’s group of top uniformed officials. The body advises NATO’s two most senior military leaders & helps guide LT strategy.
A shameful #firing.

“Union general secretary ordered to respect union’s rules and not to squander members’ money on lawyers to defend chair who refused to step down after clear vote”
Raping sex trafficked teenage girls will do that to ones reputation.
Seems to be a big day for sexual predators getting bad news
