"Misogyny was so core to his campaign and that appealed to many people and I guess didn’t bother enough other people (including many women) for it to be the winning message of the day. That’s a hard thing to know about your fellow citizens."

Where is Octavia Butler's *Parable of the Sower*.
It seems like a "white writers only, TERFs welcome" list.

@EricLawton I love Octavia Butler's work. I suspect that you're right, that people reading dystopian novels right now tend unconsciously (in many cases, I'd suppose) to ignore brilliant Black writers like Buter, N.K. Jemisin, and countless others, like (in the area of non-ficton) Isabel Wilkerson, whom I've just excerpted and posted in a thread here.

"Unbelievably, a majority of white women again voted for Trump, an adjudicated sexual assaulter and destroyer of abortion rights. Now misogynists, rape culture bros and Christian nationalists are emboldened to control women’s bodies even more than before. This again will happen most pronouncedly in red states that went for Trump."

"One of the most depressing facts to come out of the election is that a majority of white women continue to support a serial sexual assaulter and the man who destroyed national abortion rights….
The far right now believes it is open season on women. A depressing 56 million have now seen Nick Fuentes’s declaration, 'Your body, my choice. Forever.' In his view, women have no bodily autonomy whatsoever."

Buy all the banned books now before booksellers will be told to stop.
I was looking for a list.
I found bannedbooks.org is hacked by Chinese
