this tweet is male-supremacist rape culture in a nutshell.

you didn't make "mistakes in judgment," Swalwell. you repeatedly made the active choice to sexually assault women, because you feel that, as a man, you're entitled to women's bodies and sexual labor.

Swalwell shares this belief with the vast majority of men, because male supremacy prioritizes men's feelings over women's bodily autonomy.

after all, men obviously don't rape. men obviously don't uphold rape culture. men make "mistakes in judgment." and in order to cease making those mistakes in judgment, men just need even more of our love and care and labor and better role models and less loneliness and "non-toxic masculinity" and forgiveness and babying and don't you know that it's improper to make any blanket statements about the poor widdle boys because #NotAllMen and

...nah. fuck that. the problem is men, and men need to do the fuck better.

sadly, I feel like we're in for weeks or even months of Blue MAGA men handwringing over how the accusations against Swallwell are actually a Russian psyop or something, all while the Democratic Party tries to sweep this under the rug so that they can refocus their ire on the women of color in the party's left wing who dared to call the Palestinian genocide a genocide or whatever.

but nope, there is no male supremacy in Ba Sing Se.

source on the above: Blue MAGA types still, to this day, think Bill Clinton was innocent and that Monica Lewinsky is/was a liar.

welp, he's out of Congress too, and repeating the same vague bullshit about "mistakes" while simultaneously continuing to deny that he SA'd anyone

I'd say "get fucked and don't come back" but we all know he'll be back in five years having "reformed." predatory white dudes always get second chances.
