at the very core of trump's likely victory is men. young, old, everything in between. they are so spite filled, particularly regarding women's rights, that they want not just a trump victory, but a conservative house, senate and (to maintain a) supreme court in order to reduce and revoke what they see as 'women stepping out of their place' and 'what they have stolen that is rightfully ours'.

god  ok so im in a gender/sexuality studies class with a focus on exploring different modes of feminist and queer thought and how they intersect and yeah it’s very postmodernist and queer theory heavy but it recognises the difference between sex and gender and the ability of radical feminist thought to exist alongside and even enhance trans narratives. it’s not perfect, but it’s productive. because of this, what really strikes me is how far certain individuals involved in online social activism (read: kids on tumblr) are from reality. my liberal,nsex-postive foucault-loving gss professor talks about the construction of the social role of “woman” by referencing second-wave feminists. is she a terf? should my (nonbinary?) ta be no-platformed for talking about how aids disproportionately affects gay men? should our readings for class be burned because they deal with radical feminist concepts?
