Column inches are now being spent on the whackadoodle idea that women with empathy for their community members, their colleagues, their neighbors, and humanity in general, have been somehow radicalized.
What cloud cuckoo shit parallel universe are we occupying here?
If you're a woman right now and you're NOT angry? YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.
Even more vile, this article took a photo of a woman who was yanked out of her car, cut out of her seatbelt while she was on her way to a doctor's appointment, dragged through the street, and decided to use it as an example of an "angry radicalized woman with toxic empathy."
They call it "immigration enforcement." It's not immigration enforcement. When you kidnap people, beat them, tear gas them, shoot them 3 times in the head, drag them out of their cars and homes, schools, and places of business, that is not enforcement.
That is terror.
They are trying to reframe the narrative. Don't let them. They are trying to make it out like all those suburban Midwestern moms and grannies who are out there providing mutual care and protecting their neighbors and themselves have somehow been radicalized.
You know what radicalized me? Watching a man shoot Renee Good in the head three times.
That's a lie. What radicalized me was realizing, long before Good's murder, that a sizable percentage of the world would happily see me dead just because I'm a woman. I used to say dead metaphorically.
Not any more.
Pay attention.
