Tweets that matter

While the so-called 'resistance' rushed to defend Joe Biden and attack Lucy Flores, some actually understood the issues at play.  They contributed Tweets that matter.

I mean Joe Biden isn’t doing this to men. Boom. There you go. That’s the end and the beginning of this shit.

Does Joe Biden have a history of leaning in to rub his nose on another man's nose? Kissing colleagues' male partners on the lips? Coming up behind them to grab their shoulders and snuffle their hair? No? Then we need to stop pretending that all that matters is his "intent."

    this is not the time to talk about how Joe Biden is a Good Guy TM who has done a lot for women (which is debatable, at best). this is the time to talk about how even the “Good Guys” cross boundaries, violate consent, cause harm & must be accountable.

“The assumption that what matters is what Biden wants women to feel rather than what they actually do feel is part of the same culture that allows those far more troubling abuses to occur.” Interesting piece by :

it is absolutely, 100% possible that Joe Biden simultaneously possesses: A) a sincere desire to help other men do better and be better in fighting rape culture and respecting women's boundaries AND B) a complete lack of self-awareness of the ways he contributes to this culture

3. Biden started Its On Us because he believes to meaningfully change our culture, everyone - including those often left out of the conversation like college athletes and fraternity brothers - needed to be part of the movement.

Just fuck this shit. We as a culture lack the ability to have nuanced conversations about gender discrimination. Joe Biden’s demeaning behavior of women comes from the same root that sexual harassment does. Stop defending men’s behavior because they didn’t treat you the same way.

I am proud to call Joe Biden a friend. He has been a leader and a champion on fighting violence against women for many years, and I have been fortunate to accompany him to events with survivors where he has listened to their…

    Replying to 
    Jon Stewart on in 2015: "It's apparently a senate right of passage. You're not officially sworn in until Delaware Joe has felt up one female member of your immediate family." Have some damn standards. This is not appropriate, esp for a POTUS.

    Amazing to see all these major figures from torching their reputations just to protect Joe Biden and discredit the women who've accused him of touching them in ways that made them feel violated. What do these people even believe in?

    When white women show you who they are believe them. They aren’t trying to smash the patriarchy or dismantle system and will work to help put our oppressors at ease.

Because Alyssa in all her wisdom chose to center Joe Biden an extremely privileged and powerful man and his good intentions instead of using her platform to talk about boundaries and the way women are socialized to be nice to Men even when they make us uncomfortable.

      Her good kind friend Joe is the author of the 94 crime Bill. Yes the same one we demanded BERNIE explain his vote on and held Hillary accountable for advocating while First Lady.

      Her good friend Joe has not only danced around apologizing to Anita Hill, either fails to comprehend his culpability or is playing stupid. Either who gives a crap about how nice he is when he cannot come to terms with his role in leaving Anita to the wolves?

      How is what she is doing now, any better than what the friends and loved ones of accused sexual harassers, assaulters, rapists and abusers do? It’s not. The underlying conduct at issue might not be as vile but the conduct in defense certainly equally problematic.

      He’s (insert accolade) is theground level for abuse and people who claim to advocate for women are reinforcing the Nice guy gets a pass issue many of us know. When you force your daughters to endure men in their space you are conditioning them. Stop.

      Stop defending men and their BS excuses for not doing better and start requiring more of them instead of saving face to keep access.

Is Joe Biden really so important that so many people are willing to pretend that they have no comprehension of either consent or that impact is regularly more meaningful than intent? Really?
