A thousand flavors of sexism and hypocrisy.

If you wonder why intimacy coordinators are a thing, here’s an account of what happened on the set of Last Tango in Paris.

How a woman fought back against a cyberstalker when the law didn’t act.

Sexism in Spanish women’s soccer.

Even in liberal California, right-wing dominated school boards want to out trans students to their parents.

Federal funding for child care is running out. That’s not good. More here.

Fox pundit Jesse Waters claims he once let the air out of a coworker’s tires so he could give her a list and jump-start an affair. Small wonder he objects to remote work on the grounds there’s less opportunity for workplace affairs.

White nationalist Vincent James blames women for men turning into mass shooters, because of course he does. It’s not a new argument.

“The doctor felt the soldier’s ankles and legs, asking if he could feel various touches, and eventually held the man’s genitals, the soldier said.” — an account of harassment in the military

Enter the black manosphere if you dare.

Anti-gay family-values GOP Rep. Jeff Duncan is shocked and appalled people judge him for being a serial adulterer.

Crisis pregnancy centers are anti-abortion “uregulated and often non-medical” facilities that offer care to pregnant women, including women seeking abortions. To do this, as noted at the link, they lie and hide the fact they do not offer abortions. And states pay them to do it. Yelp’s business listings for such centers now say that they “do not offer abortions or referrals to abortion providers” so naturally Ken Paxton, Texasx’ misogynist, forced-birth attorney general, is suing Yelp.

Exceptions to abortion bans are worthless.

Pundit Michael Knowles — okay, Jackass Michael Knowles is more accurate but less clear what he does for a living — explains all abortion clinics are run by Satanists. OMG, is that why the GOP wants to repeal laws that prevent right-wingers from blocking clinic access? Spoiler: no it isn’t.

Comedian Russell Brand has been accused of rape. A depressing but unsurprising number of right-wingers on X/Twitters are rallying around and insisting he’s been framed.

Indiana  AG Todd Rokita has done his best to smear Dr. Caitlin Bernard for giving a 10-year-old girl an abortion. He’s been charged with violating professional conduct. Backstory here.

No, it doesn’t matter how many people a woman has slept with.

Nor does it matter whether Republican Tim Scott has a girlfriend.

As you may have heard by now, former Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner doesn’t think women or POC have anything interesting to say about music.

When Dylan Farrow accused Woody Allen of molesting her, Allen said Mia Farrow had brainwashed her. Or was Allen the real brainwasher?

Idaho Republicans, who oppose a “life of the mother” abortion-ban exception, also oppose any of the steps some states take to help mothers (Medicaid for new moms, studies of maternal mortality).

“This summer, for example, the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists published a “Glossary of Medical Terms” instructing doctors on what “life affirming” language to use. Under their guidance, a woman whose fetus has a fatal anomaly would be told not that the condition is terminal but that it’s “life limiting.” — from Jessica Valenti’s NYT piece on forced-birthers trying to redefine abortion to their benefit.
