SPLC had an article last year trying growth of misogynistic incel violence to Santa Barbara California since 2014 and a related sympathetic piece in the NYT that “never use the terms “terrorism,” “extremism,” “misogyny” or “sexism.”” Both the law and Congress needs to change so we don’t put misogynistic men on the Supreme Court. Every one running for office should be asked how they are going to stop this violence. Our sheriff was never disciplined or removed for hosting a party for “law enforcement agencies from around the world” at a brothel with human trafficked women.

"How many times will my neighbor beat his wife

Somewhere in that house, there's a butcher knife

Fucking drunk - swinging his fists about

Why don't she wait until he sleeps and take him out?"

"Have you never wondered why it is we are not just in armed combat against you? It is not because there is a shortage of kitchen knives in this country. It is because we believe in your humanity, against all the evidence."

> Andrea Dworkin, "I Want a 24 Hour Truce"

I fervently believe that sooner or later - probably sooner, judging by how we are being pushed - somebody will decide on a date, and that night will be the Night of Kitchen Knives.

Thank you for this. White cis Australian men have a long way to go—we need to be shouting this from the rooftops. Will share widely.
