A Short History of the Worst Timeline https://www.wired.com/story/timelines-of-our-lives/amp …

The suspect in the Atlanta shootings was directly echoing this language when he told police he murdered Asian women not because of their race, but to remove a ‘temptation’. The idea that BIPOC women are a ‘temptation’- and that that makes it ok to hurt them- IS A RACIST TROPE.

This logic is used to justify more violence against BIPOC women, who are not seen as deserving of the same ‘protection’ that white women are supposed to get from white men- they are already ‘fallen’, according to white patriarchy >

For as long as coloniser and slaveholder men have raped BIPOC women, there have been social narratives blaming that systemic violence on the victims. The idea was that white men were helpless against the overwhelming sexuality of these exotic ‘temptresses’. >

Colonialism and rape culture grew up together, and sexual violence has always been part of the way that white and coloniser nations have demonstrated their power. That, in part, is what is behind the racist, sexist idea of the ‘foreign temptress’. >

It’s absolute bollocks, of course, in case anyone needed reminding. Throughout the history of the colonial era, the Jim Crow era and beyond, it has been white and coloniser men who have raped BIPOC women, almost always with absolute impunity. >

> ‘protecting our women (sic)’. The logic, to paraphrase Ta-Nehisi Coates, is that white women are exclusively the property of white men, who must protect them from imagined outsiders. This dogma has been regurgitated by white supremacists from the 1920s to 2021. >

>this is horrific in its own right, of course. Gender-based violence against women is ALREADY a hate crime. But in many countries, it’s next to impossible to separate the logic of male supremacy from the logic of white supremacy. So much of the ideology of the latter is about >

TLDR: misogynist extremism and white supremacy are linked and always have been. In this generation especially, frustrated misogyny and sexual entitlement are key recruiting factors for the far right. Many modern extremists were radicalised through the incel/PUA manosphere. >https://twitter.com/bungarsargon/status/1372198654732341250 …

Here's me, on the growing network of Substack TERFs, the people who stand to be harmed or killed by them, and the long, depressing history of tech companies allowing hate groups to flourish and obtain power under cover of "free speech:"https://gen.medium.com/substack-is-not-a-neutral-platform-8fc5bdf8e5f2 …

They’re coming! I don’t have a favourite character because I’m not allowed- but about fifteen seconds in, my little heart went ba-boom.

I edited and finessed this piece while shuddering with flu-induced icepick headaches. I am now crawling back into bed. Praise my name and tell my story while I’m gone, preferably in blank verse and/or or mime.https://thebaffler.com/latest/is-patriarchy-too-big-to-fail-penny …

In December Julie Burchill accused me of worshipping a paedophile and called me an Islamist. After legal action, she has apologised in full for these falsehoods, for playing into “Islamophobic tropes” and making “racist and misogynist” comments about my appearance and sex life.https://twitter.com/BoozeAndFagz/status/1371748021692682240 …

Some recent examples of the exculpatory passive case in modern grammar: ‘Lessons have to be learned’ ‘Mistakes have been made’ -Allows the speaker to vaguely hint at wrongdoing committed by someone, somewhere, while ducking all responsibility like the spineless weasel they are.

No offence intended to weasels or indeed any other member of the mustelid family, all of whom are woke as hell and absolute comrades, I’m sure of it.pic.twitter.com/IPKBGIzVtI

I did. I didn’t do it properly. My technique was based on half-remembered instructions from a drunk, homesick Australian lass in a London club seven years ago.https://twitter.com/geebeeWA/status/1371656075552813056 …

FYI, Australian Government quarantine sent a single TimTam on day 7. As if to say ‘you are ready now’. I’m pretty sure there’s a camera somewhere in this room where border agents are watching what I do with it. If you pass the Tim Tam test, then they send in the live croc.https://twitter.com/PennyRed/status/1371652333810053122 …

I dipped it in tea and that made all the difference. It instantly transformed from ‘meh’ to an act of biscuit based obscenity.
