This is one of the most embarrassing things I've ever read in a mainstream, """reliable""" publication.

>But eight years on, we haven't even begun to understand that lesson. We didn't listen to Hillary. We haven't yet realised that misogyny is one of the most dangerous weapons on Earth. :marseyfoidretard: The best friend of authoritarians and oligarchs. The handmaiden :marseysoypoint: of tyrants.

>Worst of all, we haven't yet realised that misogyny represents the most urgent and pressing threat to global security.

>And because this is going to be a firehose that will be directed at a single woman – Kamala Harris – it will be misogyny multiplied: misogyny plus racism, the most toxic combination of all.

SUPER MISOGYNY

MISOGYNY++

MISOGYNISM

>This week comments resurfaced that Trump's newly appointed running mate had made about the woman who looks certain to be the next Democrat candidate. Comments from 2021, in which JD Vance dismissed Kamala Harris as a "childless cat lady". If that sounds vaguely familiar, you may recognise those exact words from the attacks that Brexiteers directed at me. In my case, it was an assault that went on for years and created the permission for the same man who seeded the narrative to sue me in court.

>I was gagged, the necessities of the court case silenced me. Sticks and stones will break my bones etc. But this was never about me. I was just the access point, a way to shut the story down, a viable target. And this was an attack that achieved its goal. Overnight, all reporting on the subject stopped dead.

:marseyxd:

>But there are things that only veterans of the childless cat lady wars can know. They used to call us witches because we knew shit. We still do. That's what makes us so powerful. And dangerous. That's what JD Vance understands: our cat lady energy. We've lived through culture wars before they even had that name, before they invented memes and when they just burned us at the stake.

:marseyxdorbit:

>So, here's what I need you to do now: to shut up and sit down and listen. You are at risk. We are all at risk. Because this is what I know: bad things are coming. We are in a code red emergency.
