If We Cared About Girls The world would be unimaginably different

Being a woman in this world is hard. From the Pélicot case to the Epstein files, we are forced to witness the widespread abuse of other women, often without consequences.
Doing something about this starts with how we treat girls. Please read & share @katemanne.bsky.social's plea tinyurl.com/y4fytzkc

Combatir la gordofobia, según la filósofa Kate Manne: "Para una mujer o una niña, 'gorda' es uno de los peores insultos posibles" ¿Cuántas personas han pensado que un cuerpo gordo es menos saludable? ‘Irreductibles’ (Capitán Swing) examina la gordofobia como forma de discriminación arraigada y defiende el derecho a ocupar espacio —literal y simbólicamente— sin pedir perdón

It's not just or even mostly that we don't believe girls. It's that we don't care what they tell us

I appeared on ttt in Germany to discuss the Epstein files

If We Cared About Girls The world would be unimaginably different

We need to join the dots and loudly demand better katemanne.substack.com/p/if-we-care...

Superbly clear case for why Bard should demand Botstein’s resignation by the indispensable @katemanne.bsky.social

And I'm seriously creeped out by Instagram limiting comments on this post no matter how many times I change the settings

775 signatures over the past day. Let's make it at least 1000. It's a small thing but it matters. We have to keep pushing for some semblance of accountability. Thanks for the support to those who’ve circulated and signed already

Signed as an MBA alum and current teaching assistant. Botstein must resign.

Both/and?

A girls' elementary school. Dozens dead. Perhaps hundreds. Sitting with the profound evil and the mindfck and the knowledge that this war may well have been declared to distract us from the Epstein files and the conspicuously missing evidence that the president of this nation raped 13 year-old girls

Nearly 400 signatures and counting in just a few hours. Let's keep up the momentum and the pressure.

As a former professor at Bard - this is so important. Haven't taught there in a decade but Botstein has been problematic for a long time. How can he still be employed?

Thank YOU so much for your great work on this. And sending all my solidarity, friend

An Open Letter to the College President Who Maintained Close Ties with Epstein If you agree with my general sentiments here, please comment below—just “signed” or “seconded” is sufficient.

Please share and sign if you agree with my open letter calling for Botstein’s immediate resignation katemanne.substack.com/p/an-open-le...

Open Letter to Bard Trustees To the President, the Board of Trustees, and the Bard community, Simon’s Rock was the most significant and formative place in my education. It is a community I care about deeply, and one that shaped ...

Simon’s Rock and Bard community - if you agree that it is past time for Botstein to go please sign and share our alum penned open letter to the Bard Board forms.gle/hncrVWdNbpEz...

We all know what's in the "missing files": @katemanne.bsky.social reported on Trump child rape allegations in 2025 & the 2016 testimony of the alleged victim is on YouTube.

Watch the #SundayShot's interview with Kate M below and then view Katie Johnson's testimony.

Thank you!

No, she was 13 in 1983, when the alleged incidents took place. KJ was 13 in 1994, when those alleged incidents took place.

Thank you!

The Prescience of Epstein Epstein was ahead of the curve: the shape of patriarchal exploitation and sexual abuse is changing.

Look back at the Epstein files and you can see the future of patriarchy--girls and women exploited as shared resources for male enjoyment and bonding rather than jealously hoarded and safeguarded as property to compete over katemanne.substack.com/p/the-presci...

And this is due to ‘Himpathy’ as described by the legendary @katemanne.bsky.social

Right now, I do not think normal American realize how misogyny (in the Kate Manne sense) is driving the Republican Party. A through line exists between the Epstein Files, the refusal to investigate Renee Good’s death, the attempt to “curb” colleges, and finally, the Save Act.

Bard’s President Should Resign Today Leon Botstein has been revealed to have deep ties to Epstein. It’s time for accountability.

The NYT’s framing of Leon Botstein’s frankly unbelieveable justifications and excuses is “tailor-made to stop us seeing the clear moral and institutional truth: palling around with Jeffrey Epstein for years is automatically disqualifying for a university president,” says @katemanne.bsky.social.

“Why is a man who showed such complicity and cravenness still presiding over young and vulnerable college students, in a position that requires not only trust but an impeccable moral character? One word: himpathy.”

Botstein palled around with Epstein for years and helped launder his reputation. The Epsteins cannot exist without the Botsteins. It's time for accountability katemanne.substack.com/p/bards-pres...
