As a guy who considers myself a #feminist ally, I really struggle with how much more I discriminate against #women online these days. If you present as a woman in her 20’s and you message me for any reason, we’re starting from the assumption that you’re actually a 40 year old dude with a crypto scam he wants to get me involved in. Not because I have negative feelings towards women, but because as an obviously straight white dude, that’s the pattern that every single scammer who contacts me uses. So if a man contacts me for something it’s far less likely to make my scam radar go off. I really don’t know what to do with that. Maybe this is what equality feels like? I can only assume that every time I talk to any woman online she’s assuming I’m a creep who eventually wants to send her unwanted dick pics. Even if I, like, just think her fanfic is cool or whatever.

"Speaking of Black women, Kamala Harris should be fully unleashed now as President Biden finishes his term. She is the best one to prosecute the case against Trump and MAGA’s extremist Project 2025 agenda. Biden can govern but he can’t articulate the case in public as well as Harris, so let her do it, especially when it comes to GOP’s kryptonite: abortion and women’s rights. Trump and the GOP can’t run away from their misogyny and cruelty."

The Sealed Letter by Emma Donoghue
Based on a scandal that gripped Britain in the 1860s, this domestic thriller – my sixth novel - explores a feminist spinster’s reluctant involvement in a sordid divorce.www.emmadonoghue.com
Fission is in the news, but few recognize that a woman physicist was behind the discovery.
Lise Meitner’s brilliance led to the discovery of nuclear fission. But her long time collaborator Otto Hahn, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry w/o her in 1944, even though she had given the first theoretical explanation.
Albert Einstein called Meitner “our Marie Curie." She also adamantly refused to work on the atomic bomb during WWII. aps.org/publications/apsnews/2… #women #history #science #energy
Did you know Monopoly was invented by a woman named Elizabeth Magie in 1903?
Originally ‘The Landlord’s Game,’ it was designed as a protest against the big monopolists like Carnegie & Rockefeller.
But it was Charles Darrow, an unemployed salesman, who eventually sold it to Parker Brothers after playing a version.
Parker Brothers credited Monopoly with saving their company. Magie died in 1948 without recognition. Darrow became very wealthy & his legend lives on. #history #women #HistoryRemix
