Groups like Exodus Cry don't actually care about women and children's safety. They use the violence caused by patriarchy to justify expanding its violence.
Quick thread:
The suspect in today’s standoff rattled off a bunch of conspiracies on Facebook Live on his way to DC. Election fraud, Trump reinstatement, weird stuff about coins.

Afghan refugees would get free healthcare, he said, and he doesn't.
antiblackness created the myth of the hypersexual Black man, which is why that white woman is called "easy"
But it's weird to see her frame herself as the victim of that racist stereotype.
Any violence prevention expert knows that further marginalization increases violence.
It's sad how extremist religious groups are able to cause so much harm so swiftly.
And makes me mad how actual antirape funding is sparse, allowing these dishonest campaigns that take advantage of
1) ignorance about the reality of sexual violence
2) whorephobia
3) white, male gaze in media
4) ahistoricism in feminist organizing
to make us LESS SAFE
I think #metoo sadly cemented the neoliberalism of mainstream feminism.
I think a similar process is happening with online leftism.
The parallels are hard to ignore
Companies, organizations, industries...they don't diversify because they don't know how.
They just don't want to. 🤷🏾♀️
Sooner folks realize that, sooner we can have actually productive convos.
