“Rape threats and other sexist posts are going viral after the election.

@i_gvf Right up the street from me, a block away, some of the super-rich country club members in this area held a pre-wedding party in the beautiful gardens around a mansion a few years ago. All the food and drink was served by Black women in white bathing suits — and it goes without saying that all the guests were white.

@wdlindsy I feel such disgust at these miserable insecure followers who think they can become something great by turning #masculinity into a cult, and looking down on #women. Thereby these "men" sacrifice a large part of their humanity. John Stuart Mill had it right: "Woman is the female of the human species, and not another kind of animal." Any "man" who believes, or professes to believe, otherwise has dehumanized himself.

I'm also reminded of the saying about Bismarck: "He made Germany great by making the Germans small." I don't believe #Trump and #Vance can really make America great. But they're doing a hell of a job of making American #men small.

@dedicto I share your sense of disgust.
