Even if it was used to sue a man the logic would still be misogynist. Let’s say a man sleeps with a married woman, and her ex-husband sues him. He is suing this man for sleeping with his wife, an extension of himself, his property. The man who participated in the affair would owe him damages for taking what belonged to the husband.

In the case of a woman suing another woman, it’s a reinforcing of the idea that a woman is to blame for the transgressions of the married man. That she tempted him away from his marriage.

Does this seem hypocritical? It isn’t. The crux of this all is the misogynist underpinnings of the bourgeois matrimonial contract that staples a legalistic framework for cisheteronormative, patriarchial family modes onto a relationship. The idea that intimate personal relationships are contractual obligations regulated and governed by the state and enforceable through property law is the thing that is misogynist, not whether the perpetrator of harm is a man or a woman, or whether the person being harmed is a man or a woman.

Misogyny can also be perpetuated by women, and men can also be victims of misogyny. In fact, that is the norm.

Dunno if I would say he “seemingly supports” trans people. He sure does love to veto bills that would help trans people.

In those early interviews after the fact he was saying his grandson doesn’t have anyone in his life now and he was going to fly and get him. But the kid has another mom. There’s about to be a very evil custody battle here.

Protesters in Minneapolis found a hotel ICE is staying at, a few hundred people are in the courtyard up to the doors, and the cops are inside getting squared up and ready to bust heads. They have these big-ass clubs. The protest would fizzle out, but no, the local police department seems like they want to get in on the action while ICE is nowhere to be seen

This frame is kind of funny because while making fun of stereotypes, the skinny blonde white transfem made a collage of the “plentiful examples of notable trans people” and it’s all skinny blonde white transfems.
