the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

Can I like please just get Valko back? I need him for this stupid game to still feel like comfort…

Donald Trump desperately trying to initiate the Red Scare 2 but no one giving a fuck is hilarious to me. The GOP has already villainized and fearmongered about immigrants, transgender people, DEI hires, ANTIFA, etc. and introducing a new supervillain hiding amongst us just isn’t working. I wish there was a communism WAS the greatest threat to America.

During yesterday’s speech he said something to the tune of “The communists want to seize your house and give it to your neighbor.” which shows how out of touch he is, how advanced his dementia is and how the Red Scare tactics of the 1950s are not applicable to the 2020s because no one owns their house anymore and most of us would prefer our house being owned by our neighbor instead of our landlord.

The Red Scare tactics of the 1950s are sooooooooo outdated in today’s world. Saying shit like “Under communism, the government will assign you a job and you will not get to pick!” would make 85% of my generation be like “That sounds awesome, I’m so sick of AI job interviews, just got rejected for the job I applied for shoveling elephant shit at the zoo.”

Deregulation means widespread explosive diarrhea and food poisoning.

Companies deleting media you've literally purchased is 1000x more realistically "stealing" than digital piracy, you cannot change my mind

Dude thank god for Zoran Mamdani cause ever since that guy got elected the amount of left-bashing I've seen from regular libs who aren't either deeply imbedded in mainstream Dem politics or some kind of parasocial hater has gone down dramatically

For a long time now Bernie Sanders has been the face of the American left and I like Sanders but a lot of liberals legitimately loved Hillary and the fact that he ran against her in a year that was supposed to be a coronation for her has forever soured a percentage of the base on him, and that souring extended out to his most zealous supporters as well. Zoran, on the other hand, not only gets to point to a number of concrete policy Ws, but saved NYC from being run by either a serial sexual predator or a comically corrupt oaf.

Also extremely funny to me is the fact that the way he's governed exposes the truth of what electing left wing candidates actually means. Moderate Democrats want you to think that choosing between the right wing and left wing of the party means chosing between radical, impractical revolutionaries and The Adults In The Room who can implement practical reforms and day-to-day good governance. In reality, the choice is between a left wing that implements practical reforms and day-to-day good governance, and a right wing that also tries to do that but is really bad at it.
