Thoughts on the exit polls…screenshots taken from NBC’s exit poll.
Men really, really do not want to vote for a woman. I’ve seen this viewpoint branded as TERF rhetoric so lemme just say in advance that I’m non-binary. It is not TERF rhetoric to blame sexism for this loss, and I think we need to confront the ways in which, yes, sexism runs deep with U.S. men and we need MORE feminism, not less.
Trump did make some inroads among Black voters: 92% went for Biden in 2020. Way more Latino voters shifted, though: 66% voted for Biden in 2020. Asian voters also dropped from 63% in 2020. What on earth could account for the —
Support among white men dropped from 48% for Biden to 39% for Harris. Support among Black men ticked down very slightly but not much. The biggest change: Latino men went from supporting Biden by 59% in 2020 to 44% in 2024.
The bottom line: yes, it was the men. Men across multiple races and ages supported Harris less than Biden, and we need to be clear-eyed about that. Unfortunately in the short term I think that means, Absolutely do not run a female Democratic candidate in 2028. Because we can’t even talk about this issue without someone taking exception and wailing “NOT ALL MEN!!”
Oh and while we’re on the subject of laying blame where it’s deserved:
Keep Jewish people outta your fucking mouths.
I should point out that yes, the majority of white women did vote for Trump 52% to 47%.
HOWEVER:
47% of white women voted for Biden as well. There was no drop. In terms of male to female candidate, white women voters did not change their voting behavior.
Men, across the board, voted less for the female candidate.
numbers are still coming in i guess, but CNN’s exit polls say that white women actually decreased their support of trump by 3%?:
anyone complaining about the white women vote but not the latino men vote is being dishonest and probably sexist too.
I am this close to just making a private blog for my own amusement and never posting here again. I'm so fucking tired of all but two followers only interacting with posts that aren't about antisemitism. You people are so transparently shitty. You'll like or reblog social justice posts on any other topic, political posts, and all sorts of fun posts, but you won't touch posts begging for literally anyone to give a shit that after October 7, Jews experienced more hate crimes than any other group according to the FBI. You won't touch posts about bomb threats to synagogues or physical assaults or how afraid Jews are. You won't touch posts about rampant antisemitism online. You won't touch posts about Jewish mourning. You're not actually a good person like you think you are, you're a selfish coward who only cares about human rights when it's trendy.

Wherever we go, they are with us.
Either people need to learn how to tell the difference between an “I’m sorry” that takes direct responsibility and an “I’m sorry” that signifies sympathy, or I’m gonna start responding to unfortunate information with a solemn nod and a “Sympies,” because I am tired of receiving a “Why? It wasn’t your fault” every time I try to vocalize compassion.
I'm forwarding all of you my next therapy bill.

Sometimes I wish people in fandom would not insist that it is utterly impossible for any story to be harmful.
I agree that censorship is not the way to deal with harmful stories, and also that so many stories called harmful actually aren't. (Desire and sex are not inherently harmful.) However...
A story about how Martha Jones as a Black girl is obviously too stupid to be a doctor is harmful. A story about how Lt. Uhura is an evil bitch who should be thrown off the <i>Enterprise</i> ASAP is harmful. A story about Tony Stark taking over Wakanda because Africans are incapable of managing valuable resources without squandering them is harmful. All those stories I had to wade through when I first got into slash, where the female canon love interests were Flanderized into horrible harpies to "justify" the slash, those were harmful.
Stories which drag real-world bigotry into fandom and present it as truth to massive accolades are harmful. Especially in a way that stories that use kinks that are rightfully seen as inexcusable IRL are not.
The response to such stories is not censorship, for a whole bunch of reasons I'm not getting into at the moment, but it does make it harder to deal with such stories, and to feel welcome as a POC in fandom at all, when people insist no such harm can exist. My AO3 # is in the low four digits but sometimes I wonder if the rest of my fellow AO3 denizens think POC belong there at all.
Many do not. If I've learned anything in my years in fandoms, it's that.
There was a TikTok post about an advertisement for “blood-making pills for weak women” someone found in a newspaper from the 1890s and everybody seemed to think it was just an example of the weird misogyny of the day and age but no. Anemia was a massive public health concern. It always has been through history but part of the reason we have this idea of old timey women thought history being physical weak, chronically cold and pale and fainting is because they often they were. Anemia was also a massive problem for men in that day but even now it disproportionally affects people who menstruate. So tonics full of stimulants and “healthful vitamins” were marketed at young women in pages upon pages of advertisements in every newspaper. People generally felt like shit all the time back then.
I've seen old folk remedies for anemia, particularly cooking with cast iron and putting rusty nails in an apple, leaving them in overnight, then removing the nails and eating the rust-infused apple.
It was A Whole Thing.
What’s interesting is that that would have worked better than a lot of the ‘medicines’ being hawked during that time. To this day, adding a small chunk of iron to a cooking pot with a mild acid is being used to prevent iron deficient anemia.
Yep! Absolutely. It was a much more pervasive and deadly problem throughout history because of a lack of dietary variety and medical science not completely understanding the needs of the human body. Now it is less common because many foods are fortified with additional minerals and multivitamins are inexpensive and widely available.
people forget but before enriched flour people DIED like all the time of pellagra. a literal vitamin deficiency. people also died of tooth decay... until antibiotics and floriated water. people died and were paralyzed for life because they swam in the summer, or just drank water, or ate out at a restaurant of polio and cholera and typhoid until vaccines and effective health codes. it was expected that like a third of all kids born would die from things the MMR vaccine prevents.
learning about the history of public health is SO important to understanding why scary chemicals are WAY less scary than life without them.
"it's concerning if university students are genuinely struggling to read full adult-level books for class" and "don't overstate the reporting of a single news article" and "if this shift is genuinely real, it's reflective of broad curriculum changes in lower education levels, probably at least in part due to remote schooling during COVID, and doesn't mean the new generation is being willfully Stupid and Vapid" and "when reading for personal pleasure people should read whatever they like without shame" and "reading from a broad variety of genres, styles, and authorial backgrounds will improve your understanding of both literature and the real world" and "actively mocking people for their tastes in books does not encourage them to become more adventurous you're just being mean" and also "but seriously adult books are not just boringly pretentious nothingburgers padded with pointless sex scenes, and claiming they are just shows how little you've read" all can and should co-exist.
Expanding a bit on the post I just reblogged, I absolutely HATE how a surprisingly large portion of the population now thinks that feminism is synonymous with being a "girlboss". The idea that working some kind of professional job and being successful at it is the only way to do feminism is insane. People will literally say "feminism has failed us" or "I'm giving up on feminism" when they're unhappy with their jobs. Babes idk how to explain this to you but that is not a problem with feminism that is a problem with your job. You don't need a rich man to provide for you while you take care of the kids you need a goddamn union and some paid leave
The reason why feminists of past generations fought for middle to upper class women to leave the house and join the workforce was not because they thought working a job is some kind of emotionally fulfilling activity. They fought for that because housewives at the time were completely at the mercy of their husbands. If you were a housewife and your husband was abusive, or you just didn't love him anymore and wanted out, you had nowhere to go. You had no money because he controlled the finances, you had no car or place to stay because his name was on the title for both, you had no job because you stayed at home and no education or work experience with which to get a job because you probably got married pretty young. The point of getting women into the workforce was to make women less dependent on men because if you depend on someone for the roof over your head and the food on your plate, they can do whatever the fuck they want to you and you'll have absolutely no recourse.
The natural next step of this thought process should be "ok, now women are in the workforce, they are not dependent on men in the way they once were, how can we change the structure of work such that it doesn't make everyone fucking miserable" giving up on feminism because your predecessors fought for the right for you to have a well-paying job and your job sucks is such an intellectually lazy conclusion to come to.
Like hey, if you've ever thought "working for a living is miserable, I wish I had a man to pay all the bills" do yourself a favor and ask yourself why that was the solution your brain went to? Why is it that when you feel like work is sucking your soul, the first solution you go to is to become a housewife? Maybe it's because as a girl, you were taught that being a housewife is a good and admirable thing to do, and even though you were also taught that it's good to have a career as a woman, everyone for your whole life has always been subtly, gently nudging you toward the idea of "settling down". Have you considered that perhaps that is an expression of a system of social organization that prioritizes the needs of men over women and encourages women to submit to the whims of men? You know, like some kind of *patriarchy*? Damn if only we had some kind of ideology to combat that...
put another way
stop… making… her… a… MOM FIGURE !!! *my psychic powers throw everything across the room*
everyone who has said "yeah! she's not a mom figure, she's an OLDER SISTER FIGURE!" on this post owes me $200. WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO BE ANY OF THESE STUPID FAMILIAL FIGURES!! WHY CAN'T SHE JUST BE FRIENDS WITH HER FRIENDS!!!
everytime i see amaury the chocolate smith I'm consumed thinking about how funny it would be for him to make a really bad chocolate house out of hershey bars like a kid would make, but all the video production values are the same and he's still got that winning smile
I think when goyim hear jews say, "you would not have hid jews during the holocaust," and only hear 'nah nah, you're a fake good person.' They think it's purely a dig or insult and nothing else.
We are super depressed and anxious that you wouldn't stand up to nazis as well you know. It's not my favorite thing to know that .08% of people who had the chance to save jews, did. In fact it's really fucked up that 99.02% of people are happy to help kill us or look the other way. I'm indignant and in disbelief about that shit as much as goyim are.
Can goyim take it as a challenge instead of a slight please? Can you stand up to online antisemitism right now, This very year and minute? It is significantly easier than keeping a whole ass human being in your closet or attic for a year. I consider pointing out antisemitism online the full test for a cool ass good person who's an ally to jews. you stand up once and you are officially an ally. you stand up twice and, damn, color me impressed. you stand up in real life? clean or cross out graffiti that helps no one and makes jews know they aren't welcomed? What a mensch! You are officially invited to shabbat dinner and go down as a personal hero to me. Brave! Beautiful! An Angel! Did you see that? What a move! They aren't even jewish, they just care about people not being discriminated against!
I WANT YOU TO HAVE BEEN THE TYPE TO HIDE JEWS FROM NAZIS, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! We share a dream, let's make it happen together.
