@charlesgaba.comReposted by @magdi.bsky.social@magdi.bsky.socialYep.
@magdi.bsky.socialIt's pretty nuts.
@magdi.bsky.socialHCR has always been a very good person to me. Like really good. I'm not aware of everything that happens on this site, but that is my testament from my own experience.
@magdi.bsky.socialThank you for everything ❤️. At this point the misogyny is so extreme, if I a man calls it out, I'd like to talk to him. There are liberal men out there who are normalizing it
@magdi.bsky.socialI feel like it deserved correction, but I wouldn't condemn him personally for it. That's just me.
@magdi.bsky.socialI'm fine. Irritated that some people are normalizing this. Also irritated that women younger and more vulnerable than I am are being targeted. Otherwise, I'm fine. But thank you for asking!
@magdi.bsky.socialAlso the graphic makes no sense and in the age of AI I would expect some standardization of vowel spaces.
@magdi.bsky.socialOh great, now we're on to the threats of hanging. Everyone who normalized this will be remembered. There are women much more vulnerable than I am who are being subjected to this.
@magdi.bsky.socialMr. Silverman is correct that this is a common rhetorical tactic. I think I am also correct that the tactic can solidify harmful stereotypes in certain cases. Which isn't an attack on him. Maybe we can discuss it. Again, I meant it when I said I appreciated his comment. bsky.app/profile/dmsi...
@magdi.bsky.social1) I hate my typo here, lol
2) I really didn't mean to go hard on
@dmsilverman.bsky.social. I did appreciate his defense
3) I think I might have misunderstood his rhetorical purpose. I'll have to look at it again.
4) I hope we can have a good convo about this or just forget about it
@magdi.bsky.socialThank you, Debbie.
@magdi.bsky.socialThey have called Alice Poole an "It." The deepest form of dehumanization. As they do with me, they also call her "mentally ill" for reporting their bullying. Because Shannon Watts called out their tactics, they have barraged her with "zionist cunt." Pick your side. bsky.app/profile/magd...
@magdi.bsky.socialMen are out of control on the internet. It's happening. And you choose to be against sexism or you can choose to enforce it. I'm not sure what else to say. A lot of you guys are a part of a problem. Choose the right side. It's not hard.
@magdi.bsky.socialThank you for saying this. And I mean it sincerely. But I also want to say that when one prefaces the defense with the "most annoying cingelibs in the known universe," you might be contributing a bit to the problem.
@nicokow.bsky.socialReposted by @magdi.bsky.socialThere is a long history of the patriarchy using mental illness to silence women.
From “hysteria” to “shrill”or today’s “scold” - they are all sexist and misogynistic.
@magdi.bsky.social@liberalcurrents.com Do you think you have added or detracted from the toxicity of online discourse with your actions?
@magdi.bsky.socialI'm complaining about what @liberalcurrents.com published in their "paper." I don't now why this is so hard to understand.
@omcpanda.bsky.socialReposted by @magdi.bsky.socialStrange you would mention Gamergate after what you’ve done to @magdi.bsky.social.
@daviddarmofal.bsky.socialReposted by @magdi.bsky.socialOne of many reasons why it pisses me off when people on here say Dems shouldn’t criticize Piker. Piker & his fans have engaged in toxic & misogynistic abuse toward Magdi, Shannon, Neera Tanden, & other women for months. If you support Piker, you support his misogyny, antisemitism, & racism.
