The very fact that men try to oppress women is proof of their fear of women’s superiority.

"Then as now, politicians, pundits and industry leaders officially disapproved of the worst excesses of the manosphere, but declined to take an explicit stand, terrified that any display of moral integrity would alienate their base."

As Laurie Penny argues feminists have been condemned to be the Casandras of the Manosphere - they warned us decades ago that it would come to this, and too often they were mocked for a 'lack of a sense of humour' or exaggerating the threat.... but I imagine few feminists will be glad that their warnings have been comprehensively vindicated.

Rather we should have listened then & we should listen now...

Medea è su Wired grazie all'intervista che mi ha fatto Maria Laura Ramello.

"Tra le pagine di Medea, scopriamo l’umanità, la forza, la determinazione ma anche l’empatia e il desiderio di cura di una donna che il mito ci ha tramandato come folle e assassina dei suoi stessi figli. Sottolineando pregiudizi e disparità si giunge ora a un nuovo epilogo, pieno di speranza."
