"Misogyny has become a political strategy — here’s how the pandemic helped make it happen

Online misogyny isn’t just fringe — it’s baked into the architecture of the internet itself and, increasingly, serves as a powerful political tool."

Backlash against women and LGBTQ+ communities has become more overt, co-ordinated and is gaining political traction. As the United States rolls back reproductive rights and passes anti-LGBTQ+ laws, it is important to understand how digital culture fuels this regression.

Sen Slotkin causes Hegseth to become defensive again when asked if orders have been given to use lethal force at protests - has anyone analyzed his responses to female representative vs. male representatives? #misogyny @slotkin.senate.gov @rosen.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @hirono.senate.gov

Senato Slotkin asks if Hegseth has given orders to use lethal force on protestors, she wants the answer to be no.

Hegseth: "Senator, I'd be careful what you read in books, if you believe it, except the bible"

Hegseth persists in refusing to answer questions and talking over female Senators in this hearing.

In this cartoon, Hugleikur Dagsson invalidates his point himself. Like the other characters, the white woman will face negative consequences for her actions (in her case, being called superficial and slutty by the cartoonist).
#misogyny

Edit: Simplified my point.

a cartoon of influencers of history: 1. Mahatma Gandhi in hunger strike, 2. Rosa Parks not leaving her bus seat, 3. a white blonde woman saying "I have a butt" on Instagram

Some MAN thought they were better than all of this, and had a right to take her life.

Rook was a respected charity worker who had helped refugees and women
fleeing domestic violence for two decades.

She co-founded the charity, MamaSuze, which supports refugee and migrant
‘women with art and drama activities.

In a tribute on Tuesday, the organisation said it was devastated by Rook’s
death, adding that she treated everyone with “warmth and kindness”.
“Annabel was a profound force for good in the world, dedicating her working
life to supporting women survivors,” the statement read.

@dawnoceanharmony.bsky.social‬ shared a great meme (TX!) w/o #ALText #Christiban are even worse than Taliban because of their #misogyny! All world religions are based on #greed* and #sexism. There's no freedom OF religion unless freedom FROM religion is included. *f. e. Numbers 28, 1 Cor 16:1-4

RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ssbmjnj5xmxzahtygud4ff3l/post/3lrtrx254f22x

The meme reads:
Christian Nationalism is the American Taliban

My screenshot reads: Christiban are even worse than the Taliban, because according to the Bible, women are as hopelessly inferior to men as men are to the Son of God (1 Corinthians 11:3, 7; Ephesians 5:22-24). According to the Koran, women are only half as valuable as men (2:28; 4:11).

All world religions are based on greed and sexism. Therefore, there is no religious freedom unless freedom FROM religion is included.

The screenshot reads:
"1 Corinthians 16:1-4
New International Version
The Collection for the Lord’s People

16 Now about the collection for the Lord’s people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. 2 On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. 3 Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve and send them with your gift to Jerusalem. 4 If it seems advisable for me to go also, they will accompany me."
Paul invented the convenient installment plan for donations to fictitious saints! He was a brilliant conman and a disgusting human being.

TIL that Adriana Smith's corpse was rotting, so they cut her 1 lb fetus out of it, and now it's in NICU.

I want this entire hemisphere to be hit with a meteor storm.

#Misogyny

The cruel medical experiment on a black pregnant woman in Georgia will finally come to an end.

Adriana Smith was declared brain dead at 9 weeks pregnant after an ER sent her home with blood clots in her brain.

The hospital kept her body alive due to Georgia’s abortion ban

Adriana was a nurse who went to the ER due to severe headaches. She was dismissed despite blood clots in her brain and declared brain dead the next day.

Her body was placed on organ & tissue support due to the State’s strict abortion ban.

The family were not asked to consent. They had no say in the matter.

It’s generally not medically indicated to try and keep a body alive for a fetus of that age.

Only a handful of cases exist in the medical literature.

In the 35 cases studied, the median gestational age at time of brain death was 20 weeks, not 9.

27 neonates were born alive, only 8 were described as “healthy”

There was no medical precedent for what happened to Adriana.

In total she spent nearly 4 months on life support, all without her consent or the consent of next of kin.

The baby, Chance, has been born at 1lb 13oz and is in the NICU. Details about his prognosis are not yet known

The costs associated with both Adriana’s ICU stay and Chance’s NICU stay will be astronomical, and it remains to be seen if her family will be forced to pay them.

What we do know is the state forced this birth. The hospital forced this birth.

They won’t be the ones to care for the child, but they stripped Adriana and her family of their autonomy and dignity due to an abortion ban that seeks to control women.

They experimented on her to see if women can be treated as nothing more than vessels for fetuses.

Misogynoir killed Adriana, and then the State opted to experiment on her body.

That’s what happened here.

I’m glad that the baby has been born alive, and we should all hope for a good outcome, but we should be enraged this was allowed to happen in the first place.

My original article about Adriana Smith and medical misogyny looks at the policies of forced birth and what responsibility (if any) the government should have to provide to those it demands be brought into the world.

The UN has recently warned about the dangers of online misogyny, specifically in relation to the so-called 'manosphere'. FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney speaks to sex counsellor and therapist Claire Ferrero. She says that online mysogynist influencers prey on the insecurities of young men for profit.

Creasy says the current laws have criminalised people who have had
stillbirths. They need compassion, not prosecution, she says.

More men with opinions over Abortion....

Desmond Swayne (Con) says there are two lives involved in a decision about
abortion.

Creasy says the life of the foetus depends on the health of the mother. So if
we don’t protect women, we won't have babies either, she says.

A man retreats into the Past.....

John Hayes (Con) says when the 1967 abortion law was passed, David Steel,
the Liberal MP who introduced the bill, said he did not want to see abortion
on request. But Creasy described abortion as a right, he says. He asks how
Creasy can reconcil those two positons.

Creasy says she does not think Steel would want women to be put at risk if
they need an abortion.

for 60 fucking years this patriarchal anachronism has been festering...

Women being prosecuted under 19th century
law passed by men, MP says, before vote on
decriminalising abortion - UK politics live
Parliament to vote on decriminalising abortion in what

‘would be biggest shake-up to reproductive rights in
England and Wales in 60 years

So what you're saying is, the problem is....MEN

Not a single Trans Woman in any of this, yet they've been the focus of 'Woman's Safety' and the Men just carry on being creepy and awful.....just ask the women who try to date them!

Pointing out that her report had said data on the ethnicity of perpetrators was
"incomplete and unreliable", she said: "If you look at the data on child sexual
exploitation, suspects and offenders, it's disproportionately Asian heritage.

"If you look at the data for child abuse, it is not disproportionate, and it is white men.

You mean the Tories pretending it all away and the white folk burning down their own neighbourhoods on the command of Nazi agitators isn't helping the Victims?

Of course, every time we get close to prosecuting the predators, some short idiot with many names fucks the trial, doesn't he?
