Kavanaugh, Trump, and the White Male Supremacist Supporters: Unleashing Unbridled Misogyny Again

I won’t put the faces of virulent misogynists in this blog post. We all know what they look like.

What Brett Kavanaugh, Lindsay Graham, Trump and Comp are doing is showing us how virulent and blatant misogyny can be, acted out not timidly or shamefully. But with side-splitting laughter in public or privately in bedrooms literally over women’s bodies. The reign of white male supremacy has never gone away. From decade to decade it lives on, monstrous in its mutilated humanity.

What we are witnessing in the US is what rank misogyny with social support looks like, what reactive, ego-defending, white male privilege and entitlement all sounds like, and what the man-infestation of its sadism feels like.

This is more than just a reaction to #MeToo and #TimesUp. This is on-going action, proactive, planned, well-executed. Any threat to white or men’s power is too much. Any challenge is obscene. Any serious opposition to men’s privilege and entitlement is mocked and ridiculed, if not also imprisoned or killed.

This is always the case. But when the oppressed get uppity and organized there will be the white man beast at the ready to tear them all apart.

More power to Anita Hill, Christine Blasey Ford, and all woman of all colors who are survivors of men’s status quo atrocities.
