The liberal culture of perpetually walking on eggshells, fearing that whatever you say might offend somebody, or (alternatively) feeling like you are always a victim to everybody's microaggressions is extremely unhealthy.
The conservative culture of perpetually being rude under the guise of "just saying it like it is", completely disregarding that what you say might offend somebody, or entering into conversations always on the defense is extremely unhealthy.
People in both left and right political groups who fit within these behavioral patterns seem to operate off of getting high from feeling righteousness.
These behavioral trends in both groups breed authoritarianism, paranoia, ignorance, aggression, ideological purity, and black and white thinking.

I post #pro jkr once in a week, maybe, and as soon as I do, I get an avalanche of the most ignorant jkr hate in 'for you'.
You do not get the scope of visceral woman-hate until you see the whole woman-hating world turn on a smart middle-aged one with unspendable amounts of money she made herself, with her own talent, who won't dither and fold up at the whiff of disapproval.
They don't want her to shut up, they want her punished and destroyed for speaking at all, and giving her money to other women who are fighting the same battle.
Her reach and her commitment have not single-handledly stopped the gender lunacy in its tracks, but she has done everything that a children's fantasy author could have done to hold the line, at personal risk and cost, by speaking early, and often, and rationally.
I admire her, and the more insane and violent and ignorant the hate gets, the more grateful I am that she just gives it the middle finger and keeps going.

*trigger warning*
I tried to keep this brief but this story truly needs a whole feature length documentary and a half dedicated to it. Please comment whatever pieces of information I left out - there are so many other shocking parts to this story!
Thank you to @ thegrayzonenews @ speakup.00 @ mondoweiss @ electronicintifada @ theintercept on all your real journalism to expose them!
And thank you to everyone who helped me with this - this is such a hard topic to speak about, and to do it in a sensitive way - I appreciate everyone who helped me!
nytimes you have a stain you cannot wash off! and you still haven’t redacted these 💩s. Shame on you!!!

you can paint your nails and wear eyeliner and pearl necklaces, you can dress in cardigans and say how much you “hate men” and proclaim “we’re awful” and talk about how much you “love women” but that doesn’t make you a feminist
you’re still sexist.

It's supposed to be a feminist act to keep your own name instead of taking your husband's, if you're in a heterosexual relationship, to oppose the idea of his ownership of you- but I don't really see the point since most of the time you'd still be using your father's name. It's still a representation of a man owning you. Or even if you have your mother's maiden name, it was the name her father used to own her, so in turn your grandfather owns you. If you go back and back and back it's just generations of men owning you and all your mother's before you. I think the most feminist thing you can do is just pick a new surname, or make your middle name your surname or something. Or take the surname of the most badass woman you've ever heard of or read about. Stuff like that. And that's something that all women can do, even homosexual and bisexual women who aren't a going to marry men, you can still get rid of the paternal ownership. And if you have kids they can just have this new family owned name instead of your husband's or father's owned name.
EDIT: Ladies look through the notes to see some differing, very good points!!

I just watched the godfather trilogy for the first time & I swear this isn't bait but I was wondering if you had any opinions about the women in the movie(s)? I don't want to be like "these movies are sexist/misogynistic" but I also wonder if there's something to be said about how the women are portrayed? Like personally I thought there was an added layer of tragedy, in the second movie especially when Michael struggles with his dad's legacy & he goes to his mom for advice but she offers so little & then dies like man... what if there was more of her perspective... was it intentionally done, that by ignoring or dismissing the women in these men's lives it contributed to the uh, tragedy of it all? Especially with Kay, how her character progresses in the first two movies & the choices she makes. Or if it's just what women are "reduced" to in these types of stories & it's just me (maybe missing the point as well) that saw it as an addition to the other tragedies/losses?
I think it would be unfair to simply label these films as "sexist" when they reflect the period that it was set in extremely well. It would be like saying that Pride and Prejudice was sexist because it was set in a time when women couldn't inherit their family's land and titles. Well duh, it was a sexist society! That's why it's so fascinating to watch this family scramble to find husbands for their daughters while the second eldest rebels against her gender constraints!
Actually, for a movie that mostly surrounds men, there are a lot of dynamic female characters in The Godfather with actual depth and character development. Coppola doesn't make his female characters' background accessories with blank faces and no personality. They are dynamic human beings with their own sorrows and desires. Even the most minor characters like Sandra (Sonny's wife) get a scene where it's made extremely apparent that she knows that Sonny cheats on her frequently and that she has a lot of built-up resentment in their marriage for it.
The movie also has a lot to say about traditional gender roles and how it provided some women with protected lives behind their husband's achievements while forcing other women into a cage of miserable submission to their husbands. On one hand, we have Carmela, the matriarch of the family who is the traditional wife and mother figure. She seems to have had the luckiest marriage out of the bunch because even though she was in a traditional marriage, her husband respected her and loved her. However she also willingly ignored the reality that Vito built a criminal empire and therefore doesn't really understand Michael's internal struggle with his father's legacy and losing his own humanity. She kept herself at arm's length to the criminal side her whole life and therefore doesn't understand how someone can lose their humanity or their family. In her era, family was EVERYTHING no matter what your husband is or does.
On the other hand, there is Connie, who is married off to a wannabe gangster who viciously abuses and cheats on her. And even though she's the Don's daughter, nothing is done to protect her from her abusive spouse. Why? because also in that period, women essentially belonged to their husbands. Even Carmela quickly reminds Sonny to not interfere with their marriage because it's no one else's business. Connie is trapped in her own personal hell built by a society that restricts women in their own households, which Coppola shows the consequences of (RIP Sonny)
And then there's Kay - the essential "Modern American Woman" who is thrown into this chaos world when doom and gloom savior son Michael makes her his wife. Unlike the other female characters (including Apollonia as her character foil), Kay cannot look away from Michael's criminal life like a wife is taught to. Kay was not raised as a traditional Sicilian housewife. She tries to be one for years, but she can only stomach this world for so long before she actively turns her back on it and ends her "role" in it by aborting her child and divorcing Michael. She can almost represent how modern feminism slowly began seeping its way into society where women no longer have zero agency over their lives and bodies. Instead of continuing to get pregnant like the dutiful wife for Michael to get his next son, Kay eventually said F That I'm done bringing more kids into this nightmare
The Godfather series as a whole is about change. New Dons replacing the old ones. Power shifting inside a family. Sons getting stepped over for other sons. Selling illegal liquor and gambling to selling drugs. Trying (and failing) to make an illegal business into a legitimate one. The change in women and their roles in that world also changes too which is why I like the film so much. It speaks on so many layers of society and how it grows and changes
