I’m preaching to the choir, but “Believe all women, unless it’s a woman who was assaulted by a man we like (such as Biden or Clinton), in which case fuck her she’s a liar.”

That was exactly what radicalized to an unfixable level honestly, was watching a social movement made to address the most monstrous excesses of patriarchy get totally fuckin scuttled the minute it tried to turn its gaze to the political arena. People I’d seen fucking howling about all kinds of Hollywood and Silicon Valley elites suddenly went silent the minute Tara Reade started talking.

And that’s just the silent ones! That’s not talking about the men and women who went straight piranha, accusing her of all kinds of skullduggery and deception; all the way to the point that she had to flee to Russia the same way Snowden did. That was simultaneously the day any last ‘blue’ drained out of me, and the day that I stopped trusting liberal women; especially the white ones. Started sounding to me like the kind of misleaders we have; the ones that don’t want to change the system, but just want to sit on top of it.

Led to my mantra, regarding women and how I interact with them. “Unless your feminism looks like that of bell hooks, Ion’t want to hear it.”
