When did it become common to insult female reporters with no backlash at all?

39. I would argue there isn't any real need for guns

These guys are more scared of a woman who stands up for herself unarmed and nonviolently .
I am certainly very much in the non-violent camp always. It terrifies them when a woman just refuses to bend to their will.

To me at least it signals weakness to see these guys armed to the teeth and bullying their way forward with weapons, hacking and psychological games.

You just have to stand there and refuse to back down, refuse to compromise..

I love the style of older women like my ex mother in law or my mom etc when they turn out in full force without weapons or bloodshed. Public school teachers, old women who have been activists forever..People who I now realize, got us all the rights we enjoyed.

People of my generation (Gen X ;-/) and in white collar jobs don’t really know how to do that. The millennials even have their version which is too alien to me since it involves tech platforms which I loathe.

The older women of my mom in law’s generation knew how to go about it.

I am kinda trying to find my feet as a Gen Xer who mostly went: ..wait, what now? What just happened? I thought we had rights..

I really liked a couple of posts by DUers CrispyQ and BigmanPigman (both involving Indivisible). Because I can’t find my feet in the tech and influencer heavy world.
Grassroots activism is different.

I keep repeating that word like I just found it, because it clicked finally. I used to feel so bleak seeing this world where everything results in another tacky “tell all” grift or Ted tech talk or some unrelatable response. Till it percolated through my head enough that it finally clicked..grassroots activism..that’s the one.

Now if I could figure out the next step..
