The Virgin Democratic Party Establishment Candidate: "ICE isn't coordinating with local police. This is no way to bring down prices!"

The Chad Episcopalian Bishop: "I have instructed my priests to prepare for martyrdom."

The Kierkegaardian left: nothing you do will ever be adequate to make up for living in the time of the present holocaust – but you have to do it anyway.

Our morals lie in our actions not our sentiments. We have to hold ourselves to some standard of accountability that goes beyond feeling bad or conflicted.

I could really use one of these rn

Such a maddening piece! A hasty genealogy that dodges Dworkin as a thinker whenever possible and concludes with nothing of use re: consent.

Dworkin, and I say this certainly not as a stan, deserves so much better than a legacy of work that gets so egregiously misappropriated and construed.

I think you're being obtuse and this is all I will say - My argument is about the contradiction between the messaging and practical application of their political project. One that purports to be about women's sport but is instead myopically fixated on trans people to its detriment.

My contention is that the movement to 'save women's sport' has brought about this conflation by hitching their wagon to austerity obsessed conservatives and an executive order that sets a precedent for slashing funding from orgs supporting/empowering women in sport.

I wrote about the save women's sport movement's crowning achievement:

An executive order that does little more than set a precedent for defunding women's sport at a moment of sweeping austerity measures.
