"One of the really interesting things in the research that I’ve done on the neo-Nazi community, white supremacist community, is the way that they linked anti-feminism to their neo-Nazi and white supremacist ideals. If you go back to Daily Stormer in 2014, 2015, they’re saying arguments about anti-feminism as being essential to understanding white supremacy;" (continued in /11)

"There’s a really smart researcher on authoritarianism, Karen Stenner, and she had retweeted that—what she said was, Pay attention to how he says the word women. And if you listen to it, it’s really interesting because of so much visceral anger and hatred just dripping off of his tongue as he says the word women. That’s very indicative of Trump’s approach to women in general."

"Despite best practices, despite all of the consultants opinions, Donald Trump is fearlessly being misogynistic. I don’t know if that message is going to convince any women to vote for him, but it certainly will resonate with men."

Brutal New Ad Nukes Trump—With His Own Ugly, Hateful Attacks on Women
As Kamala Harris hits Trump hard over his misogyny, a scholar of political communications explains how Harris is tapping into a level of cultural energy among women we are underestimating.The New Republic
“'It’s really hard to know that there are men out there who want to vote against reproductive rights, even though they shouldn’t have a say in it at all,' Casey, who voted for Harris, said. She doesn’t think she could date someone who doesn’t share her views again. 'As a political science major, I made a decision that I don’t want to put myself in that position.'”

"THE 'GENDER GAP' MATH IS UNDER-APPRECIATED in coverage of the race. More women will likely show up to vote than they did in 2020, and they will be supporting Harris more than they did Biden four years ago. Trump may be making gains with men. But he’s going to have to turn out a lot more of them if he wants to keep up."

"The 2024 election is in part about whether women can be free and equal citizens of this republic. Right now too many cannot. …
[MAGA men furious that their wives may vote independently of their control] want marriage to be an inherently unequal relationship with a subordinate wife and an entitled husband, a cozy little authoritarian regime at home."

The F-Word
It took nearly a decade but we’re finally ready to call a fascist politician out for being one.Melissa Ryan (Ctrl Alt Right Delete)
Misogyny in medicine is focusing more on what a man might WANT than what a woman NEEDS.
I NEEDED a hysterectomy and was told I wouldn’t survive pregnancy.
“Informed consent” for surgery looked like this:
“Don’t you want to be a Mom?”
“You may want BIOLOGICAL children”
“What if you meet a man who wants babies?”
“What if he leaves you because you can’t bear his children?”
“Men went their OWN babies - what if you can’t do that?”
“You will feel like less of a woman.”
Brought boyfriend in to try and change their minds. Them to him:
“Will you still love her if she’s BARREN?”
“Do you want kids?”
“What if you change your mind & want kids - will you LEAVE her?”
Him: “Save her life what I want doesn’t matter” (he understood the assignment)
The assumption through the entire process - as I got sicker and sicker - was that I should WANT to risk my life for the CHANCE to bear a child.
That if I didn’t WANT that - I would change my mind when I met the “right man”
Apparently the “man of my dreams” will be so spectacular and the love so all consuming that I will be all too happy to put my life on the line to give HIM babies.
Needless to say I found that incredibly offensive. I was dying. I was incredibly sick. I needed surgery.
This is NOT “informed consent”. This is misogynistic and patriarchal bullying.
Informed consent would have been ensuring I knew it wasn’t reversible and would mean I could never have children. Letting me know risks of complications. Risk of prolapse. Risk of early menopause
None of that was covered. It was ALL about men and babies.
I actually did have a severe post operative complication that I was woefully unprepared for because “informed consent” failed me.
We must do better. Women need autonomy over their body. Inform us. Work with us.
Don’t put the needs of a man before of our own. Don’t treat us like incubators.
We are MORE than our ability to bear children. I lost my womb at 24 and I’ve never felt like less of a woman, less of a person. I’ve never regretted it.
Medicine needs to do better
One of the worst parts was that when I ended up having a complication - I was gaslit & ignored again. Told I didn’t know my body AGAIN. I needed my boyfriend to get them to even run tests.
Now - decades later - I’m still dealing with issues from the surgery and complication.
I can never know how different things might have been had they acted faster - but I DO know I was never able to fully trust the medical profession again.
My article on this is below - and I’m working on a future one about informed consent (or lack thereof)

"To sum up, over four decades, twenty-six women have told strikingly similar stories of being assaulted by Donald. …

Stanley also notes that the obsession with declining birthrates — especially among white women — within fascist movements, an obsession Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and JD Vance want to put front and center now, is linked to fascist aspirations. Women need to be put back into "their place" as mothers, and spanked back into place if they refuse.

“The leader’s displays of machismo and his kinship with other male leaders are not just bluster, but a way of exercising power at home and conducting foreign policy. Virility enables his corruption, projecting the idea that he is above laws that weaker individuals must follow."

In the passages attached below from his book Strange Glory: A Life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (NY: Knopf, 2014), Charles Marsh chronicles how the drive among Germany's Protestant leaders for a "manly Christianity" played a major role in facilitating Hitler's rise to power in the early 1930s.

"And so when, for example, a Politico op-Ed offers that 'There is a new Gender Policy Council in the White House, but it has not addressed a single issue facing boys or men,' I am confused, as that council’s national strategy includes a section called 'Protect, Improve, and Expand Access to Health Care, including Sexual and Reproductive Health Care.' Did I miss something? Are those not issues facing men and boys?"

"Thirty to 40 percent of infertility cases involve male factor infertility, so let us not pretend that IVF is some great gift just for women.

"It also translates into state policies that target women and LGBTQ+ populations, who are as much the strongman’s enemies as prosecutors and the press. ….
