The Saudi man who drove into a crowded Christmas market is not Islamophobic. He is not far right. He literally yells “Allahu Akbar” in footage of him being confronted by police. Women have come forward saying he abused them for being ex-Muslims. His social media is a mess of

Pedro Pascal aggressively verbally abuses woman in order to show solidarity to men who are destroying women’s boundaries & fetishising femaleness. Way to broadcast your misogyny, bud.

Unbelievably it seems I need to provide evidence for my assertion that Andrew Tate is a misogynist, exploiter, human trafficker, & an appalling person to run a political party. So here is a thread of some examples. Some are straight from the horse's mouth, others are reports that

15 months ago vs today. Life is way better. Physically doing basic tasks is much easier. All health metrics improved. I’m fit, strong & not on track to get diabetes. Humans aren’t meant to carry that much extra weight. I’m angry at the fat positive shit I was fed for so long.

The two women on this podium come from impoverished backgrounds. They worked their butts off & had to rely on charity to train only to be humiliated by a millionaire white man twice their age who announced he is a woman & was pandered to. Pick a side.

I don't know how much clearer I can be. 'Non-binary' is a nonsense concept made up by some of the most privileged people on Earth who in the absence of real problems create pseudo grievances about friggin' pronouns. I do not indulge their self-absorbed & entitled behaviour.

Boy George says @jk_rowling is a “deeply unpleasant person”. In that case, so am I, and so is every woman who dares to simply say “no” to a man demanding that we ignore every instinct & statistic in order to facilitate their cross dressing fetish.

I teared up watching this. It made me so viscerally angry I felt it in my gut. This woman is emblematic of every educated, leftist woman who climbed the ladder to power & then used it to shit on less fortunate women. Fuck her for making Ted Cruz a hero because he eviscerates her.
