“Pro-abortion terrorism is sweeping our nation,” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., wrote in a column last June, lamenting that “only after the outcry from the pro-life community did the FBI announce an investigation” into Jane’s Revenge — a small group of activists that firebombed an anti-abortion pregnancy center on June 7, 2021 — and that the attorney general “has yet to launch a wider DOJ investigation.” While conceding “no one has been killed or seriously injured,” Rubio said, “Things will only get worse before they get better.” (Facebook later quietly designated Jane’s Revenge a terrorist organization, as The Intercept reported.)

Rubio’s column cited roughly 50 attacks on anti-abortion activists and institutions, linking to a list posted by the anti-abortion Family Research Council. Apart from the actions of Jane’s Revenge, most of the cases enumerated describe simple vandalism.

Panel discussion involving Catharine A. McKinnon and others held in Oxford last November, now captured in Signs Journal.

Note that McKinnon still maintains her opposition to sex-work/prostitution, and that forms (a small) part of her speech here on the issues of Transgender Law.___

In May 2021, I thought «hey, I really need to write an article on how you need two women in your org, not just one». This was for an esports organisation, in a field where we were struggling to reach 5-6% women, the organisation itself having fewer than 10 people. Having one woman was pretty progressive and cool at the time; and here I was, thinking «I can’t do this alone». And then I burned out and quit the game and never wrote the blog post.

Canada: pepper spray, knives, baseball bat s for self defense r illegal.

Once the exbf is incarcerated, the specific women wouldn't "need" to carry the self defense weapon.

Could have a permit and training system. Like the specific women could apply for a permit and have to do a training course.

Shout out to the rightwingers who will likely read this and say "if women can carry weapons, so should men".
