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!!
I would guess that the war has broken out again because tRump. Ever the secret stratum of haters and resenters who were overjoyed to find a lodestar to gravitate toward (forgive awful scientific metaphor) ..
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.
Hear-hear... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 That would be a great place to start! I get a little hit of nausea every morning when I walk into the lobby of our building and fox "news" is on the giant TV in the seating area... I hope I'm not sounding like a broken record, but I truly believe trump wouldn't have happened without fox "news"...
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 !
Margaret- Rose, I remember that article of Nia's as well. It was a rare & fantastic perspective of the NY mob world when giuliani was Mayor of NYC. (I'm resisting using my lil' pet name for him: Ghouliani...oops!) 😁
If you simply omit the first 'i', the result is pronounced as you would like. :) To my surprise, it seems that the word for "noun: demone che divora i cadaveri" is claimed by some to be 'ghoul' .. but that makes no sense, as the Italians would not insert that 'h' ..

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

Great writing. Thanks.

Thank you. Where was the other article???
Gawd .. now you're asking.
I *think* it was in one of the online newspapers (US) that doesn't have a paywall .. I'm really sorry not to be able to deliver the correct answer ..
Written in the past and then in the present, talking about the crime bosses in NY and .. Florida ? An exotic dancer happy to strip ..
Not helpful, M.R. ! :(
I think that was me. :)
Amazing woman !! - then the 'manquée' is herewith removed: you are indeed a writer.
My forgetfulness does not relate to your content - merely to the rapid onset of senility. :(
Hell, I forgot what day it was today.
You are a forgiving person.
(Saturday, right ?)

Elle, my saviour ! - where did we read it, please ?
Thank you! And, feel free. He is a Ghoul.

I do not rest my case.
