#metoo

Christ, finally. The amount I have to twist people’s arms on this website to do the most basic homework to support their positions. It’s completely ridiculous. That article is very scant on details and specifics. It mentions “defund the police,” which was mostly a slogan used by activists rather than the party, and which, as the article mentions (and as I mentioned previously) never actually went anywhere and was walked back, with Biden calling specifically to “fund the police” and with many places raising police budgets instead. In spite of this, there was a perception that Democrats actually did defund the police. Not the reality. It doesn’t really talk about democrat’s positions on trans rights at all. It mentions #MeToo, and one random state assemblywoman who talked about cancelling Thanksgiving. My whole point is not that there was no perception of the Democrats being woke, but that it was just a perception. Nothing in that article actually challenges that. It just quotes other people who had that perception. You can say, “politics is about feelings and perceptions” but all that makes me think of is how Republicans “felt like” Obama turned the country into a socialist republic. Here is a Ballotpedia page for Hillary Clinton’s stances on LGBT rights in 2016. I would love to know which parts of it are “particularly pro-trans” rather than just keeping the government out of trans people’s business and ensuring equal protection under the law.

Even on the fediverse, speaking up about tara reide during the last election cycle, would get you banned from the liberal / correct the record fediverse servers. #MeToo gets dropped immediately as soon as it exposes US democrats as being part of the same epstein class.

I was listening to Times Radio this afternoon and heard an interview with Rosamund Urwin in which she detailed what #RussellBrand ‘s barrister, Ian Winter had said to her immediately after the trial concluded, but also how his interrogation of the victims was pre #MeToo in terms of its tone that made it sound more like they were in the dock than Brand. It really showed how hard it is even in 2026 to hold men of privilege to account. There is still much to be done.

I didn’t know until today that #PatrickStewart was an outspoken advocate against #ViolenceAgainstWomen (for his mom) and also for supports for veterans (for his dad). But it fits. The blog below has a couple nice videos of him speaking about it. It feels nice to have that common activism with him. I’ll make this my last post on him. Men, we have the power in our hands to stop violence against women and children. https://losingmyperspicacity.beehiiv.com/p/why-losing-patrick-stewart-hits-so-hard-for-women #RIP #StarTrek #Picard #BelieveWomen #MeToo

I believed in the general principles already but in a superficial way. Then I realised I was trans just as #metoo was happening and learning what it’s like to be a woman while everyone was talking about what it’s like to be a woman made me see how much of it I had been blind to.

For everyone who spent #MeToo fretting “what if this goes too far?”—be of good cheer! It turns out we didn’t go too far at all! It turns out we didn’t nearly far enough! Good job guys!

“Slut Con?” In 8 years we’ve gone from #MeToo to SlutCon??? WTF??? RE:

#HarveyWeinstein, the disgraced movie mogul, was sentenced in NYC to 15 years in prison Wednesday for a felony #SexCrime in another #MeToo reckoning. Weinstein’s sentencing for sexually assaulting one-time TV PA Miriam Haley followed a legal odyssey spanning >6 yrs. His 2020 conviction was overturned by NY’s highest court, citing testimony from other women whose allegations weren’t part of the case. A 2nd jury found Weinstein #guilty again at a retrial last year. #law

📎 Human rights organisations have also called for the Chinese government to immediately release journalist and #MeToo activist Sophia Huang Xueqin (黃雪琴)

@JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange That reminds me of conversations back in the #MeToo days, so 2018-ish? Some people and even some journos got antsy about how to properly dis someone without being sexist, so they can't call them a 'prick' or a 'cunt' or whatever. The solution was reasonable, IMO. If 'whomever' has pissed you off they are an 'arsehole'. Because absolutely everyone has one of those.

Fallet Benny Fredriksson under #metoo (2017) Detta är den händelse som skadat hennes anseende mest. Som kulturchef på Aftonbladet var hon ansvarig för en kulturredaktion som publicerade hårt kritiserande texter om Benny Fredriksson, där anklagelser om hans ledarskap och påstådda övergreppsliknande beteenden framfördes. Efter den massiva kritiken och drevet lämnade Fredriksson sitt uppdrag och tog senare sitt liv.

Das ist ein bisschen peinlich, aber ich erzähle es jetzt einfach mal. Youtube-Podcasts haben mich wieder aus der Einsamkeit geholt. Den ersten Podcast, den ich nach meinem #MeToo im Sport begann, sind die #Jindaious. Nachdem der dort vermarktete Nidal geboren war, wurde darüber in der @szbot@muenchen.social berichtet. Ich lese natürlich nicht die SZ, aber das Hamburger U-Bahn-Fernsehen hatte die Meldung übernommen. Mir gefällt die interkulturelle Familie und die absurde Geschichte vom Influencer-Fussballprofi. Nach langer Zeit schaue ich heute mal wieder rein. Die Kinder sind größer geworden und Papa Nader ist schon wieder tagelang im Trainingslager.
