Like look at her amazing Hollywood shine while the dudes who hated her for a living are still stuck scamming
I'll stop soon, but let me just say: This is why online harassment is a workplace issue. A reporter's life was being threatened and the Washington Post was more concerned about the "institution" than her life.
Btw, this is also a lesson on what happens to women when they come forward about sexual harassment & assault. They are thought of as "troublemakers" and are treated as such - Marty Baron's email is part of the reason women stay silent about abuse
It's pub day for Believe Me! Since it's an anthology, I can say without self-consciousness that it is legitimately fucking great. We have essays from @AyannaPressley @wordscience @JuliaSerano @JamilSmith @MegaMoira and so many others. You will love it.
Women who share their experiences or talk about sexual assault are labeled troublemakers & biased - and in an industry that purports to speak truth to power, that should fucking disturb us.

It's fascinating to see people argue that women won't really be punished if abortion is illegal. Here are some things that have *already* happened to women despite Roe:
If there were pictures of little blonde children sleeping on cement floors covered in their own filth, it would take all of 24 hours to get them out
Remember when this woman *went to jail* because she used her dad’s address to get her kids into a better school district?
Women, if you're being sexually assaulted make sure you take close notice of your attacker's dick because Ben Shapiro wants to know exactly what it looks like
A woman went into premature labor while being detained, her baby died, and this is ICE’s response: “a stillbirth is not considered an in-custody death”
John Becker (OH) thinks ectopic pregnancies can be "reimplanted" in a uterus. Vito Barbieri (ID) said women can have gyn exams by swallowing a camera. Dan Flynn (TX) believes abortion requires cutting into a uterus. Meet the men legislating your body.
Boys can straight up *admit* to rape these days and a male judge will still find a way to let him off
The Quebec shooter, who killed 6 in a mosque, is a white male student who made right wing & anti-woman remarks on FB
Just your regular reminder that the president of the United States was credibly accused of rape and we've just...stopped talking about it.
