I thought that was obvious.
Once you know that they were using a specific term to refer to the people on the sub, yeah it's pretty obvious there's fuckery going on. However, I didn't know that they were calling them "mission specialists", so it was not obvious to me that they were doing that specific bit of villainy.
 
It's not about her being batshit crazy though. She used a nasty word about another member of the group, and that's not OK.
Using slurs for every other person under the sky is obviously fine, but you can't insult one another in public!

There's an extra special kind of batshit that is involved in lashing out at your own support structure.
 
Woke? ;) Oh, please. They were happy to boot her BECAUSE she was a woman. You think they'd ever hold their menfolk to watching their language? If it were the guys, they'd just be "heated" and "passionate". This is the Face-eating Leopard Party, after all.

A 66 year old school caretaker in Italy shoved his hand down a 17 year old student's trousers & groped her, before trying to justify it as "just joking". Good news is he was arrested, charged & stood trial for this. Bad news is the Judge acquitted him on the reasoning that sexual assault isn't illegal unless it lasts at least 10 seconds.

JFC Italy, get your act together.
Someone should kick the judge and the perp in the balls repeatedly. But only for 9 seconds. It's only a joke, ya know?

So I just had to excoriate my own father for sending me a "meme" lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse.

Not a fun time.
Aaaand now I have discovered very unpleasantly that my stepmother is a TERF. Which is going to go over great as I am in the middle of pointing out to her (a black woman) that the bathroom arguments she's making are the same ones they applied to gay people 30 years ago and black people 60 years ago.
 
Oof. I gotta say, racism and homophobia are obviously bad, but nothing completely destroys a person’s brain like transphobia, and I don’t really know why.
