Just to state the obvious (and sorry for even mentioning the guy, I try to keep it to a minimum, but):
Elon Musk’s totally ew-gross stalker-creep post about Taylor Swift is a demonstration of power.
It isn’t just a dog dry-humping a stranger’s leg. The point isn’t what he thinks he can actually happen.
The point is to be •seen• saying something that disgusting and be •seen• experiencing no consequences for it. It’s about who gets impunity.
@inthehands yeah. I find it specifically about enforcing rules about women not having voice in our society too.
Instantly recognizable to so many women. How many of us have started to win an argument, shown evidence, or just dared be smart out loud and then watched the men around us suddenly make graphic sexual "jokes," find some reason to physically loom over us, make some absolutely out of pocket statement about how btw they could beat us up. This has happened to me so many times.
