“Trump is demonstrating that he intends to create a country dominated by the right-wing, white men who supported him. It is not clear that that intent is any more popular than his pardons for the January 6 rioters.”

It seems a trend in the election postmortem theories is to blame the Democratic campaign strategy which failed to reach/inspire low wage workers about the plan to manage the economy.

I don't agree. The problem is much bigger than that.

"In just 100 days in 1994, about 800,000 people were slaughtered in Rwanda by ethnic Hutu extremists. They were targeting members of the minority Tutsi community, as well as their political opponents, irrespective of their ethnic origin."

@ayoub Then again, you’re right. What has to be said or conveyed to conservatives so that they would vote for a black/brown woman as Prez? But can we not also say that #Harris’ loss was due to #Mysogyny and #racism? Can we conclude that Harris’ run was successful in that it creates more possibilities for what is possible in 2026, even within a culture of #fascism ?

“Trump’s suggestion that Cheney should face a firing squad seems to be a general expression of the anger of white men accustomed to dictating the terms of public life when faced with the reality that they can no longer count on being able to cow the people around them.”

'In 2018, the Australian philosopher Kate Manne coined the word “himpathy” to describe what she called “the inappropriate and disproportionate sympathy powerful men often enjoy in cases of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, homicide and other misogynistic behavior”.

The ConversationHimpathy: the psychology of why some people side with perpetrators of sexual misconduct – podcastSamantha Dodson talks to The Conversation Weekly podcast about her research into why some people feel sympathy for men accused of sexual harrassment.

@irene writes about the effects of #mysogyny on the livelihood and professional career of women in tech.

In tech companies, I've been harassed, threatened, made passes at and gaslit. In civic tech activism, I've had men assert that I have no competencies and understand nothing.

Oh, and in tech journalism I've had an editor refuse to publish my picture - the same one I use here - in an article because it is "too sexual".

As Irene says: men, do better!

So as a lifelong cyclist but a new race watcher, when I heard about the #TourDeFrance Femme I assumed it was basically the same event. But as always I underestimated the #mysogyny. Not only does the TDFF have fewer stages (8 vs 23), the UCI regulates stage lengths to be shorter than men's stages for, you know, "reasons".

The fact the race exists at all (it started in 2021) is real progress. But man, we still have so much further to go...

> His lack of generosity bothers Sabine. “You know what is at the heart of misogyny?” she says to him in an argument about the cherries. “It’s simply about not giving … Whether it’s believing you should not give us the vote or not give help with the dishes—it’s all clitched onto the same wagon.” Can Cathal at all see what she means? “It’s not ‘clitched,’” he says. “It’s ‘hitched.’” He can’t even let her have her gallicism.
