I've seen a few posts about women and pants now and many of them are very good, and not to nitpick those posts or downplay religious sexism or anything, but I have to emphasise:

Somebody who DOESN'T live in a controlling religious country/cult/family is also affected by sexism. We all know that, right? Secular parts of the first world also have opinions about how women dress, including when it comes to trousers, especially in childhood and in institutions like schools and the workplace

Me and many people my age (20s) remember being forced into skirts, punished and shamed by parents & teachers & peers & possibly then bosses about what we wear not being feminine enough, and it wasn't by deeply religious sects. Many updates to dress codes are very new and sexist views are still in place in many institutions. Normalised societal misogyny wants women (and people they want to treat as women) to dress femininely, down to what KIND of pants they're allowed to wear (compare a pink top and jeggings to mens jeans and tell me these two women are treated the same. Hating women in pantsuits is still a sexist office joke today, and even those outfits are feminine compared to male suits, which raise eyebrows when worn by women). The women I know who wear trousers regularly are literally otherwise feminine, and all wear dresses to events.

I know trousers have become much more normalised over the past few decades in secular society (yay!! the result of many many years of effort and lawbreaking) but let's not be absolute when we talk about the pants concept lol. Especially within a larger conversation about female/transmasc/intersex/transfem masculinity and social perceptions, especially in an age of rising fascism

Imagine acting like a dude who consigned thousands to a prolonged and agonizing death from privation was unfairly treated when someone else made the arbitrary decision that they needed to end was unfairly killed.

The shooter quickly put two into the scumbag's back. If you were to ask me, the motherfucker got away with a lot softer end than what the Saw franchise would have me believe someone in deep sorrow over the unnecessary death of a loved one would execute.

If your paycheck depends on the deaths of others, you really don't get to fucking complain when somebody else decides to punch your ticket to glory.

If you’re an American federal employee and got an email saying “it’s ok to quit your job.” Do not, for the love of everything, quit your job. This is purely a scare tactic to get rid of as many people as possible without legal consequences.

Hate how every time there’s a photo of somebody on rednote saying ‘omga, the prices are incredibly high in America. Your government is bad.’ Somebody on the site HAS to go ‘w-well actually, China has a worse government!” And??? Just because their’s is worse doesn’t mean ours is good, or that they can’t have an opinion. Like fuck offfff

Controversial opinion, we should make people in power more afraid. Make them afraid of heavy footsteps, make them jump a little when a door opens without a knock, make them more uncomfortable when someone reaches into their bag.

Teach them what it’s like to go to school everyday. Teach them what it’s like to go to work or go to the store or go on a walk.

Show them that if our schools, our hospitals, our parks aren’t safe, they aren’t either.

Nancy Armour at USA Today:

It’s been a bad couple of days for the racists and bigots who thought Caitlin Clark was one of them. First Clark said she recognizes there is an element of white privilege to her stardom, that the Black women who laid the foundation for this current explosion in interest in women’s sports were never afforded a spotlight as bright and intense as the one that shines on her. Then, when conservative crank Megyn Kelly criticized her for saying that, Clark doubled down. “I feel like I’ve earned every single thing that’s happened to me over the course of my career. But also, I grew up a fan of this league from a very young age,” Clark said Wednesday when asked about Kelly’s comments. “My favorite player was Maya Moore. I know what this league was about.” For those unaware, Moore was transcendent when she was running roughshod over the WNBA, leading the Minnesota Lynx to four titles in seven years and winning MVP honors in both the regular season (2014) and WNBA Finals (2013). Add in her Olympic gold medals and her titles and player of the year honors at UConn, and she’s quite possibly the best there’s ever been.

[...] Few athletes, especially at a young age, can be as thoughtful or as direct as LeBron James and the U.S. women’s national soccer team in calling out hate and the marginalization of minorities. That seemed during the season to include Clark, whose criticism of the racism and homophobia spewed at other WNBA players by some people claiming to be her fans often came only when she was asked directly about it. But if those lowlifes, like the woman who wrote Clark’s number on the paper talons she wore to a playoff game to mock Black players, thought they had Clark’s tacit approval, they are now seeing just how wrong they are. So, too, those who thought Clark was too naïve to understand why what was being done and said in her name was so problematic.

She saw it. All of it. And she wants no part of it. “I want to say I’ve earned every single thing, but as a white person, there is privilege,” Clark told TIME in the player of the year story. “A lot of those players in the league that have been really good have been Black players. This league has kind of been built on them. The more we can appreciate that, highlight that, talk about that, and then continue to have brands and companies invest in those players that have made this league incredible, I think it’s very important.

“I have to continue to try to change that,” she added. “The more we can elevate Black women, that’s going to be a beautiful thing.” This isn’t “self-flagellation,” as Kelly sneered. This isn’t “condescending” or “fake.” This is a young woman recognizing that while, yes, she’s worked her ass off to get where she is and deserves every bit of the spotlight she commands, she is also the beneficiary of an American society that continues to give white people primacy. People like Kelly, and unfortunately there are many like her these days, seem to think it’s a character flaw to acknowledge that. That if they recognize privilege exists, it means they aren’t deserving of what they’ve accomplished. That if they say privilege is real, they aren’t as exceptional as they think.

Glad to see Caitlin Clark speak out on how white privilege has played a role in college basketball and WNBA stardom.
