"Jeez.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@philip_cardella Can it get any more blatant? But it's taken as totally normal — but a shocking number of us.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@philip_cardella Definitely unusual and terrifying, and totally in line with long-studied trends in rising fascist groups of the past.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@SordidAmok Yes, it seems that beating women is now the focus, and not racial distinctions in the women to be beaten. They talked about spanking Hillary Clinton in the very same way.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@PeasLuvnJustice Yes, women are to be viewed as and treated as dependent children, with male authority figures as the wise and ruling father who keeps them on the straight and narrow path and punishes them — for their own good, of course — if they deviate. This is in line with the thinking of aeons of patriarchy bolstered by religious ideology.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@stevensanderson Yes, this rhetoric betrays some deep insecurities in men spreading it around, doesn't it?

[stevensanderson@mstdn.social]

@wdlindsy it most certainly does. An ego so fragile they must try to destroy what they disagree with or what glorious leader disagrees with.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@stevensanderson That's very well-stated. I agree!

@wdlindsy No only are we not going back, we're paying increased attention to the lyrics to "Goodbye Earl."

""The fact that the disobedient child in this fantasy is a girl is not an accident either. The MAGA right sees Blue America as essentially female, or female-dominated—and, of course, currently led by a woman."

Don’t Blame Kamala

If she loses—and it really is a toss up—the questions we must ask are about ourselves.

"The authoritarianism has a distinctly misogynist flavor, of a piece with all the other misogynist rhetoric we’ve seen from the right in this campaign: Real men are coming back to put all those misbehaving women in their place."

@wdlindsy tucker publicly fantasizing about a "daddy" spanking a "bad girl" daughter in extremely sexual ways on stage and everyone applauding is one more confirmation that pedocon theory is a theory the same way gravity is a theory. the us is cooked when half your population is like that

[nonya_bidniss@infosec.exchange]

@wdlindsy Ruth Ben Ghiat's book Strongmen discusses this misogyny in fascist regimes at length. The suppression and sexual objectification of women is one of the defining characteristics seen in these male dictators.

[vae@mastodon.ml]

@wdlindsy it's just sexual for them. imagine if he substituted "bad girl" for "bad boy" and daughter for son in his speech, he would be 100% called out by the crowd for being homoerotic, but when it's a girl it's okay because for cons incest and pedophilia is awesome and god-approved but they draw the line at being gay or women being able to deny consent

[3dogcouch@mas.to]

@wdlindsy I took misogynist Carlson's red-faced & thumping raving uncontrolled glee about spanking a 15 year old "bad bad girl" hard enough to hurt her in a planned way as a grotesque display of public sexual sadism & not just icky. It was revolting.

[mastodonmigration@mastodon.online]

@wdlindsy

Astounding. That is so messed up.

WTF MEN!

[wendigo@metalhead.club]

@wdlindsy But Trump isn't even a man's man. He's a child. And certainly no one's Daddy even though he has children. Didn't he once sexualize his own daughter? Fucking scum...

[asbestos@pnw.zone]

@wdlindsy
Any movement that's primarily about power and control is almost by definition misogynist.

@wdlindsy Do we know if he was referring to trump or putin?

@wdlindsy #TuckerCarlson is creepy and weird!
