@AllyFogg be so strange to perceive from a historical distance at some future point, like the 1920s & 30s have been in my own lifetime.
How do you engage with & reflect on the strangeness of it in real time? I don't know.

@AllyFogg both been eaten by them.
Another, related uncanny thing I sometimes reflect on is the strangeness of islamophobia in a nation comprised mainly of low/middle education-level social conservatives. That we had the Tory party of the latter 20th Century & early 21st is going to >

@thefempire50 @imbethmccoll @radicalsnake_ A person does not have to agree with every statement or belief ever expressed by a trans person in order to recognise that you & your peers represent a specific and specifically deranged menace to society.

@imbethmccoll think they make everyone sound boring tbh, since they are defining everyone via the framework of their own bitter tediousness. In certain regards, a very British disease.

@TheTinMenBlog I think that matters within UK culture, politics and media in a way it may not matter so much at all in the US, due to certain institutional conventions & privileges.

But time may yet change things and who knows what the picture will be in 10 years' time.

@TheTinMenBlog it's also the case that time changes all things.

A problem from my perspective is that (with due respect to CW et al as people) men with more established educational potential, at least in the UK class system, aren't ever going to be incentivised to engage in these issues. >

@TheTinMenBlog one solution to everything but it would be imo an integral aspect of there being substantive & meaningful change.

@TheTinMenBlog "ivory tower academics" need to be employed for the wellbeing of men, just as they have been previously for women; and for that that to happen there needs to be some IRL intellectual leadership which lies beyond the media or internet.
That is not to say academic work is THE >
