Her views on the wage gap are more interesting to me than the rest of the interview.

On Tuesday, after the U.S. Department of Transportation confirmed Cummings’s new role, Musk condemned the announcement on Twitter, saying “her track record is extremely biased against Tesla.” Musk’s followers promptly began regurgitating comments made by Cummings about Autopilot — including one tweet, based on her own research, where she calls the system “unreliable and unsafe” — and began to threaten her and USDOT. One anti-Cummings tweet, which has since been deleted, read: “If they try and take Autopilot away from us we will riot so hard January 6 will look like a day at Disneyland.” (The account later posted an apology, saying it was a joke.) Buttigieg responded to Musk’s tweet on Wednesday at an event outside the White House. “He’s welcome to call me if he’s concerned,” he said. “We are responsible for making sure that every vehicle on the road is safe.” But Buttigieg’s statement only seemed to embolden the Twitter mob, which quickly devolved into misogynistic attacks and threats of violence. Many of the most egregiously abusive comments might very well be coming from bot accounts, but the intended effect had been achieved. By Friday morning, Cummings’s Twitter account had been deactivated.
As a woman transportation reporter who has been viciously trolled by Tesla fans for my stories — including, I’m sure, this one — this is a frighteningly familiar tale.

Have they stopped running into working emergency vehicles and pedestrians while in self-drive mode yet? As far as I’m concerned, Ms. Cummings concerns are warranted.

I’ve been listening to a great podcast Breaking Down the Patriarchy. It is so well done. They go through a series of original texts from women and feminist thinkers.
I was a philosophy major in college. It is stunning to me to realize that in my 4 years of study, it wasn’t until I got to ecofeminism in an advanced class that i EVER read a woman author, or even an author discussing women’s rights. Rights is a whole area of philosophy. We didn’t even read John Stuart Mill’s text that they discuss in this podcast.
I have come to be so angry at the way that I was turned against my own history. How my labor was expected. How my economic power was diminished. And how it was so normalized.

Doesn’t this guy realize if women stop having sex, that, um, men will have to stop having sex as well?

The only other info I’ve been able to find is about photo sessions of pregnant women held at ranches.
What they’re doing, from the photo, looks suspciously hippie-like.

Did I post this before, I wonder? Seems like I would.
This village doesn’t exist to escape abortion; it’s to escape the cruelty and tyranny of men. What a difference US white Christianity makes, eh?

Get a bunch of women whose hormones are going up and down together in a group and you will see catfights.

Ah yes, just what impoverished people need, religion shoved down their throats, and being instructed on how to properly live.
It would have individual cottages for mothers. “Host homes” for couples who would model healthy marriages. A communal barn for meals. Bible study.
I wonder what happens when a pregnancy is found to be ectopic or otherwise threatening to the life or health of the pregnant person. I wonder if that will lead to death, and if the dead person will be celebrated for “not aborting”, like some kind of martyr to supply-side Jesus (as opposed to the Jesus who fed the hungry, etc.)
