Every time I try to write a blog post about this I end up just writing fuck fuck fuck you you fucking fucks. So thank you for harvesting our collective anger and arranging it in intelligent sentences. But I'm still fucking angry and ready to mess shit up over this.

I still think you should. Even inarticulate rage has it's place, especially NOW

Hackneyed, I know; but if everybody who was qualified bothered to vote, we wouldn't have any of this shit.

This is so important and powerful. This should be plastered on the side of The NYT like a mix of Banksy and Martin Luther! Amazing work!

I try to imagine being a guy who says, "Being a guy is fucked up, so I fuck over women to feel better."

Or better yet, "I am going to impose my delusional Christian views on women because fuck them, they're uppity."

Feels like all the times I read your stuff has led to this moment when I'd be able to read this.

Jimmy loved this, too. When discussing the Playboy mansion recently, I remarked on the childhood trauma experienced by a lot of the women who ended up there, and Jimmy remarked that the mansion was arguably just an “abuse center.” At dark times like this, I have to remember there are lots of good men like him out there, who don’t want to control women. If all women gave a shit about their rights, we wouldn’t be in this position.

That's really the issue, isn't it? Women are the worst enemies of women because they are so conditioned by the patriarchy. Amy Covid Barrett probably likes being tied up and shit on.

(Also: really glad you have a dude like Jimmy. I know they exist, they're just rare.)

Conditioned! Yes. My theory: every woman who is Republican has daddy issues.

Here here. No doubt in my mind. Judith Butler would have a field day.
