Quality control

The ACLU is really tanking.

They seem to have a very stupid very rude very belligerent person working for them and making them look bad on Twitter.

Oh the irony – the lie is on the other foot. Pamela Paul (her op-ed is clearly the target here) didn’t say that. She said “woman” has become verboten, meaning in general, and then she quoted a comment on the Roe decision by the ACLU that carefully did not say “women.” She did not say “the ACLU forbids the use of the word ‘woman’.” The lie is hers, there is no fallacy, the purported “hate” is in her head.

Please. Language matters. Feminism has always had a lot to say about language. Of course it matters if women and girls are simply airbrushed out of much of public discourse. I’m pretty confident Rebecca McCray wouldn’t sneer so happily at the idea that we shouldn’t airbrush Black people out of public discourse by carefully never mentioning them.

Also what is this “most marginalized” shit? Who says they’re “most marginalized”? Are men who pretend to be women really more marginalized than women, people of color, disabled people, lesbians and gays, immigrants, the working class, disabled people, homeless people? Pffffffff.

Brunt? What brunt? Trans people bear the brunt of the re-criminalization of abortion more than women do? Of course they don’t. Women bear that brunt, and no one else.

Aaaand out comes the nasty childish foul-mouthed brat. Lucky ACLU, having her on the team.

Miss her? How? Are we all supposed to dash around to her place to help block all her access to the NY Times? It’s a newspaper. It publishes op-eds. It can’t “miss” individuals who don’t like a particular editorial.

Transmisogyny doesn’t exist. Misogyny is hatred of women, “full stop.”

I wonder if the less stupid people at the ACLU – if there are any left – are cringing. They should be.
