After Renee Good Killing, Derisive Term for White Women Spreads on the Far Right, a deeply troubling phenomenon has emerged in the wake of the tragic killing of Renee Good. The language used to describe her and, by extension, other white women, has taken a decidedly nasty turn, revealing a disturbing undercurrent of misogyny and political animosity.
Specifically, the term “AWFUL,” an acronym for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal, has gained traction within certain conservative circles. This isn’t just a casual insult; it’s a deliberate attempt to demean and dehumanize a specific group of people based on their perceived political leanings, socioeconomic status, and, crucially, their gender.… Continue reading
The government has unveiled a new initiative addressing misogyny among young men, allocating £20 million for teacher training on identifying role models, challenging harmful stereotypes, and establishing a helpline for abuse concerns. This strategy aims to prevent violence by tackling the early roots of misogyny, offering extra support to high-risk students through behavioral courses. Despite the government’s intentions, critics like Kemi Badenoch have dismissed the plan as inadequate, with some suggesting that the government’s approach is inspired by the Netflix drama “Adolescence.”

Republican women suddenly realize they’re surrounded by misogynists? Well, that’s the thing, isn’t it? Many feel like this isn’t a sudden realization at all, but a delayed acknowledgment. They knew. Some seem to have understood, consciously or unconsciously, that being *in* on the system offered a degree of protection *from* the worst of it. “I voted for the racism, not the misogyny!” is a sentiment that’s been heard. The truth is, some of these women may have been misogynists themselves, actively participating and supporting policies and attitudes that belittle or demean other women, or perhaps, all women.
Maybe “suddenly” isn’t the right word.… Continue reading
During a Thanksgiving press conference, former President Donald Trump confronted CBS News reporter Nancy Cordes after she questioned his claims about an Afghan national accused of shooting two National Guard members. Trump, who said the suspect was among unvetted Afghan nationals admitted to the U.S. by the Biden administration, was challenged by Cordes about the suspect’s thorough vetting. In response, Trump insulted Cordes, asking if she was “stupid,” which added to a pattern of lashing out at female journalists. The attacks have been defended by the White House, with officials attributing Trump’s remarks to his “frankness” and the public’s distrust of the media.

The recent instance of President Trump calling a female reporter “quiet, piggy” has gained significant traction online, despite occurring days prior and receiving limited initial media coverage. This incident, combined with Trump’s dismissal of a question about Jamal Khashoggi, has sparked outrage, particularly due to the double standard of attacking female journalists for asking probing questions. The lack of immediate defense from the press gaggle and the White House’s defense of the comment further emphasized the president’s pattern of hostility towards the press. Interestingly, the story gained prominence through online platforms and social media, potentially signaling a shift in how news cycles are shaped and how resistance can be mobilized.

Recently released emails from Jeffrey Epstein, detailing his actions, have resurfaced, including one where he boasted about giving a girlfriend to Donald Trump. Stacey Williams, a former model who dated Epstein, stated these emails highlighted the men’s deeply misogynistic behavior and claimed Epstein “delivered” her to Trump to be groped. Williams recounted a specific incident at Trump Tower where she was allegedly molested by Trump while Epstein watched and smiled, a moment she described as a “weird and twisted game.” Williams said the Trump-Epstein friendship was central to Trump’s personal life. Trump’s campaign has denied Williams’ claims, calling them false.
