Excellent read - - thank you Ms. Molinari! I remember having a marked feeling of dread for the upcoming day as well on 1/5, which had been my bday. My sisters called for that, but we talked about our shared growing dread for the next day. It's disturbing how many of the insurrectionists had/have military ties. Where I work, that definitely makes me feel less safe.
I’ll bet Christine Blase Ford relates to this story. I’ll bet 1 million women relate to this story. I’m screaming.
We continue to be focused on the racial injustice in this country, and it is certainly a critical and important story. We are ignoring the war against women that is raging once again in this country. It is becoming very unsafe for a woman of any color, race or ethnicity; not only to walk the streets dressed as she chooses, but to enter a profession, speak up in public, demand customer service or write from her gut.
We owe it to our daughters and granddaughters: FIX THIS!!
Military culture is thoroughly marinated in misogyny and male supremacy. "Be a man." "Man up." "Are you a bunch of girls?" etc. etc. I understand that Fox News is the constant background in retail areas, eating halls, and waiting rooms throughout the military. Changing the channel on government televisions might be a place to start.
The police problem is the most threatening because it's bloody everywhere. Down here, too: we have the same misogynistic cops who beat their wives and get off on their 'power' over the public. When someone's reporting of a policeman gets through the system, it's only ever inquired into by a board comprised of other policemen. Up to governments to fix this problem.
This is the second article of the like that I've read online in the past few weeks; seems strippers are turning out to be writers manquées ! :) Good on 'em !

Chilling story. All women know about these threats, these ideas put into white women's heads. We don't all survive.
