@lisaannlm Dunno about "stuffy", but one of the more serious or even outright journalistic ones?
Tho in comparison others, like The One That Shall Not Be Named, which is all fluff and editorialising, it prolly seems a bit stuffy :P
@Marc_T_Benedict Read Part 2 it gets better (Not).
Mulling over the ramifications of a Trump regime I realize with horror that things like Womens/LGBTQI+/African American studies could vanish. Teaching Critical Race Theory could be banned and even criminalized. High School and College support groups and services for LGBTQI+ people would be replaced with religious indoctrination and conversion therapy or change groups. 1/2

@VelvetDuchess @Tee_Lynn True.
@lisaannlm @Tee_Lynn We are going to wind up with a justice system that is just as misogynistic and corrupt as South Korea’s is, and probably worse than South Korea. At least in South Korea, women can get medical care they can get competent appropriate medical care.
@gshevlin And somehow they think if they leave X and go to Bluesky the Troglodyte asshat Trump loving Incels won't be there. I believe they are wrong. I came here based on my research and learned the basics in 5 minutes. So I lost friends so what. Got new ones here. Thanks Joker!
It is frustratingly amusing, and an exemplification of laziness, to see so many people suddenly piling into BlueSky.
It seems that people do want sites with better control of spam and bots, and a process that sort-of-passes for moderation.
However, they still want it to look more or less exactly like Twitter. AND...they want all of their friends to magically be there on day 1with a fully-formed community.
This is not a realistic attitude for them to have.
@Tee_Lynn @VelvetDuchess But sometimes younger women forget we had to fight for our rights. In the olden days our ancestors lived under patriarchy. Unfortunately looks like we may go back because already he says he's going to actively repeal the 19th Amendment. I feel like that would cause a domino effect for everything else we accomplished.
@Tee_Lynn @VelvetDuchess We have always had this sickening his word against mine culture, especially when it involves sexual assault that doesn't leave much evidence behind. For example, not all sexual abusers rape. Some do equally disgusting things like fondle or grope. And I see things as peeping through women's windows, taking pictures or videos without their knowledge or concent, posting revenge porn, or even making lewd comments as violations against womanhood.
@Tee_Lynn @VelvetDuchess I do but as Dutchess said it's different there. Do I worry that we may end up in worse straights because the climate shift might mean fewer charges and prosecutions, yes. However, if you look at statistics now, things don't exactly point towards America ever being a good country prosecuting offenders.
@mel_the_author And watch the level of violence against Trans women skyrocket. He's a pig.🐷
This will affect people I know. He is evil. https://apnews.com/article/transgender-rights-trump-title-ix-1b9d3a1d928ea78c21372da63600c6d1
Special counsel Jack Smith intends to step down before Trump takes office as he looks to wind down federal prosecutions against the president-elect. https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/13/politics/jack-smith-donald-trump
Parents, keep a close eye on your daughters. Girls of ALL ages are being harassed post election, so much so they don't feel safe. Little boys and young men are chanting and taunting girls with slogans like, "Your body my choice" and "Get back in the kitchen!" It's disgusting! Parents are considering homeschooling or single sex education because little is being done by administration to stop it.
@VelvetDuchess True I should have posted that as well.
@lisaannlm South Korea did not have a first grade class this year.
What they are protesting is a rape and domestic violence culture with no means for legal redress in a Government that is misogynistic and corrupt.
@WellWellWell3 My Facebook has been crickets for days. Literally no one is speaking, except for one girl who I gave my solidarity to because of the whole racist text message to. I apologized too, when I posted the info I dared not post the graphic because Facebook would see this bad racist coming from a White person. But she being African American could and did post the graphic. Kudos to her.
