Batya Ungar-Sargon on X - "What's so funny about this is the tradwife movement is a women-led rejection of the guilt that very wealthy women like Sandberg inflicted on stay at home moms for not working or failing to rise far enough. For decades, liberal elite Girlboss feminism pushed professional success as essential to self-fulfillment for women, implying that women who worked part time or (Heaven forbid!) chose to be stay at home moms were somehow less than. Now that those women are pushing back, they must be defeated."
Feminism is not about supporting women in making their own choices, but pushing the left wing agenda
Batya Ungar-Sargon on X - "Sandberg writes, “A woman who applies to medical school or pursues a demanding career is still met with, ‘Are you sure you want to do that—don’t you want kids one day?’” Really? The majority of medical school students now are women—for the seventh year straight! Apparently, whatever mythic character is saying this to women is having zero impact."

Disgraced Propagandist on X - "A tell all book called "Careless People" written by someone fairly high up in Facebook was published last year. I listened to the whole thing. The weirdest detail in it is apparently on Cheryl Sandberg's private plane, Cheryl had a private bedroom. She would ask various employees traveling with her on the plane to come snuggle with her in the bed. The writer of the tell all, an ambitious girl boss from New Zealand, declined the offer, and thereafter Cheryl targeted her for destruction."

Thread by @wil_da_beast630 on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "A point so obvious it's rarely made: easily 90% of the things that are attributed to "the patriarchy" by hard-body feminists - mating for life/marriage, young males as society's warriors, even toy preferences - not only existed in the many matriarchal human societies but also exist among many OTHER mammal predators. Among homo-saps, it's difficult to think of a single tribe that used fertile females as primary fighters. The blinders-off reason for this is insanely clear - and a compliment to women, at that. When something just clearly and obviously has a necessary purpose - marriage, for example, clarifies the lineage of children and thus incentivizes/forces a father to stick around and raise them - it strikes lil' ol' pragmatic me as a much better idea to trim off rough edges and keep it around than to toss it away and hope Utopia somehow spontaneously emerges from vacuum. "All these traditions began under BARBARISM! You used to be able to rape your wife and stab your husband!!!" Ok, cool. Let's change that part of the law. The core idea of mating for life, which foxes also figured out, still seems far preferable to the alternative of "72% illegitimacy.""

I'm not sure what happens with the sex-exclusive privilege to kill unwanted offspring in utero to avoid responsibility for them... but regardless the right to CHOOSE about it would be the decision of some adult who can actually exercise his rational agency and accountability for the decision. Glad we are finally being a little bit more realistic here."

Is there anyway to be a “slut” without benefiting men? : r/Feminism - "Basically the title! Love the word “slut” & using it very positively here. As a woman, I’ve tried regaining control of my own sexuality. However - i feel now as if there is no way to do this that does not benefit men. Casual sexual relationships benefit men; dressing more “slutty” appeals to the male gaze. I’m sure there’s more to this question I’m trying to ask - but is there a way to take control of this myself (as a bi woman) that does not benefit men?"

James L. Nuzzo, PhD on X - ""But does talk of a male crisis further sideline women and girls?"

No country in the world has achieved gender equality — and one in four reported a backlash against women’s rights in 2024."

Bryce Dallas Howard's high heels are not sexist. They're the best part of Jurassic World. - "For a movie filled with freakish genetic hybrids and raptors wearing night-vision headsets, the most far-out, fantastical element of Jurassic World might just be Bryce Dallas Howard’s heels. Introduced with a foot-focused shot worthy of Tarantino, Howard plays Claire Dearing, the park’s operations manager, an icy, career-oriented businesswoman who seems like she may well have been cloned in lab using Sigourney Weaver’s DNA from Working Girl. In a film loaded with retrograde takes on gender, the shoes initially seem to signal all of Claire’s flaws. We’re supposed to know that Claire is unlikable and needs to loosen up because she is uninterested in children, obsessed with her company’s profit margins, and refuses to be nice to Chris Pratt. Her shoes—severe, nude-tone stilettos that seem completely incompatible with tromping around a tropical island filled with prehistoric animals—seem to serve as a shorthand for all of this in the film’s first quarter, where they’re the subject of several loving close-ups and get roughly as much screen time as Vincent D’Onofrio... Howard herself has been taken to task for her own insistence on wearing the shoes; director Colin Trevorrow frustratedly passed the buck to Howard on the issue, telling i09: “I mean, look, I had that conversation with her so many times, and she insisted on wearing those heels.” For a movie filled with freakish genetic hybrids and raptors wearing night-vision headsets, the most far-out, fantastical element of Jurassic World might just be Bryce Dallas Howard’s heels. Introduced with a foot-focused shot worthy of Tarantino, Howard plays Claire Dearing, the park’s operations manager, an icy, career-oriented businesswoman who seems like she may well have been cloned in lab using Sigourney Weaver’s DNA from Working Girl.

As the film goes on, the park’s animals go rogue and Claire develops a heart, experiencing a classic cinematic transformation from dispassionate professional to family-loving babe with a gun. But while her pristine white business suit is shucked in the name of mobility, the heels stay on the whole time. A lot has been made of the improbability of Claire’s heels—the film’s insistence on having her wear them through multiple jungle hikes and dino chases has come to symbolize, among other things, the film’s goofy sexism. Though I doubt that the heels wrote the scene where Claire’s sister chides her for her lack of interest in children, or suggested that Jake Johnson’s Larry exist only so that various characters could cast aspersions on his masculinity. Vulture’s Jada Yuan dismissed them as “foolish;” the Dissolve’s Genevieve Koski pointed to them as a “tiny but maddening detail” that kept the film from working. Howard herself has been taken to task for her own insistence on wearing the shoes; director Colin Trevorrow frustratedly passed the buck to Howard on the issue, telling i09: “I mean, look, I had that conversation with her so many times, and she insisted on wearing those heels.” But given that films so often require a heroine to drop her high heels in order to be deemed likable (think Kathleen Turner in Romancing the Stone, or even Jennifer Garner at the end of 13 Going On 30), or use heels as a way to signal that a woman is bait for a predator (think half the horror movies currently streaming on Netflix), I’d argue that the stiletto backlash has been grossly overblown. The way Claire’s heels support her, rather than fail her, throughout her journey is actually one of the most interesting, offbeat decisions in a film largely dedicated to propping up old-school action movie tropes... the fact that she didn’t have to go full Linda Hamilton in order to save her family may have actually been this film’s most progressive bit."

Fiery Debate After University Professor Claims Women Commit Domestic Violence As Much As Men - "Dr. Fiona Girkin is an associate lecturer in Policing and Emergency Management at the University of Tasmania. Her job is to teach new Tasmania Police recruits about family and domestic violence. Recently, she appeared in a video interview with controversial conservative media figure, Bettina Arndt. In the interview, Girkin talked about how, in listening to the officers she has worked with, there were just as many female offenders in domestic violence cases as there were male... After university officials found out about Girkin’s interview with Arndt, they opened an investigation and ultimately put Girkin under “assessment” until further notice. Regarding Girkin’s role with the Tasmania Police, the department put out a statement saying that “the opinions stated by Dr Girkin are not in line with the principles Tasmania Police supports in dealing with family violence,” and that she would not be teaching police recruits until the investigation with the university was complete... it’s interesting to note that Arndt wasn’t always such a strong advocate for men. Earlier in her career, she was a self-proclaimed feminist... But then, in the 1990s, something changed. She began embracing more socially conservative ideas about relationships and family, criticizing people who have children out of wedlock. In interviews, Arndt has said of her change of heart that she “spent her early career lobbying for women but turned to men when I realised how lousy they are about advocating for issues that affect their private lives.” Now she is seen as a feminist instigator, authoring a book that she released in the heat of the global #MeToo movement entitled #MenToo. Her critics say the provocations and outrageous statements are just meant to get attention. “To Arndt’s frustration, the male revolution she advocated of political reaction against feminism had failed to emerge,” said a lecturer at Macquarie Law School who has studied Arndt."

Meme - "Male Privilege
In Switzerland, military service (conscription) is compulsory for all Swiss men, but not women. If a man is not fit for military service, he is required to pay 3% extra tax until the age of 30. This is known as "military exemption tax". Naturally, women are also exempt from paying this tax. In 2014 the Swiss voted on whether or not to keep conscription for men. This means women were able to vote on whether or not military service is compulsory for men. Despite not having to participate in conscription themselves, the majority of women voted to keep conscription compulsory for men."

Feminist Anxiety about Domestic Violence Against Men – The Feminist Wire - "It’s understandable why there’s resistance to a framework that suggests that “both men and women” are battered, as if there is equivalence there. It’s also understandable why there may be fear here as well. At minimum, it could mean a loss of scarce resources for women who do not, overall, have the same earning capacities of men. Domestic violence is intertwined with learned gender roles and histories of abuse, but too often such violence is treated as if it’s inherently male."

Woman doused friend in fuel, set him alight for misogynistic comment, court hears - "A woman who angrily doused an "old friend" in petrol and set him alight for making a misogynistic comment was suffering from depression and substance abuse, a court has heard. Corbie Jean Walpole, 24, earlier pleaded guilty to one charge of burning or maiming by using corrosive fluid. Her victim, Jake Loader, was 23 when he was found with life-threatening burns at a southern New South Wales home in Howlong on January 7 last year... Most of the group was heavily intoxicated, and Walpole had consumed cocaine... Her anger then flared when Mr Loader told her she should stay in the kitchen making scones where she belonged, and not to go drinking with boys... Mr Loader sustained burns to 55 per cent of his body, was in an induced coma for eight days, spent 74 days in a burns unit at Melbourne hospital The Alfred, and underwent 10 operations. Mr Loader can no longer expose his skin to the sun, and struggles with temperature regulation as his sweat glands were burnt off."
