Itâs always the womanâs fault.
It seems our only acceptable roles are servant in the home, wh0re in the bedroom, arm candy and doting partner if weâre out in the world âwith our man,â and invisible wraith if weâre out there without a man. And broodmare.
And even then, they find a way to blame us when men attack. Iâm so fucking tired.
Fuck you, CNN, for taking what is a serious issue and scattering stupid jokes throughout the article:
Itâs okay! It canât be misogynistic, since a woman wrote it⌠/bitter s
See whatâs funny about your reply is that I pointed the article out to one of my male colleagues, who said almost exactly that. âWell, I guess, but it was written by a woman.â

Asshole.
Sheâs five years old. FIVE
If you must ask about his daughter, ask what position sheâd play on the team. What sheâs most excited about on the day. Hell, ask if sheâs proud of her dad. To ask if sheâs allowed to date a damn player on the team, the youngest of whom is 22 years oldâa 17-year age gap and a felony in every state in this countryâis abhorrent.
Boom. Right here.
Also, he was way calmer about the question that I thought heâd be. The reporter should have been removed from the room.
Like didnât he have the habit of hitting on girls young enough to be his granddaughter when he was a judge on American Idol???
As enraging and sickening this story is, Iâll be very glad to see negative consequences for rapists who brag about their crimes and profit from that. Hopefully more states will enable victims from past cases to seek justice. For anyone still wondering why members of the GOP fight so hard to allow child marriage, the quotes in this article should make it clear.
Iâve only skimmed this so far, but it includes some upsetting details, so be forewarnedâŚ
â Whatâs doubly worrying is that this survey was done in 2021, before the Supreme Courtâs Dobbs decision. Itâs not difficult to imagine how much worse these numbers will be now that weâve added forced childbirth into the mix. A recent study from the University of Pennsylvania, for example, found that abortion restrictions cause a âsignificant increaseâ in the suicide rate among women of reproductive age. That research, too, was done before we lost Roe .
America is not even nominally prepared for just how bad this is going to get.â
