JCO never disappoints
I love her. I once tweeted that I’d hike a mile through a snowstorm to attend one of her lectures and she told me “Sweet, but you would be sorely disappointed. Not worth it”
It’s so clearly a problem within the culture of white American masculinity.
To an extreme degree, they are most likely of all people globally to (on an individual rather than organized basis) kill people unknown to them personally for, essentially, a public statement.
Whether it’s school or college shootings, club or concert shootings, or political target shootings, or church or synagogue or mosque shootings – it’s a vast majority of the time coming from the same pool of people.
Joyce is a bigot in her own right, so I wouldn’t celebrate her tbh. I know she pretends to be a feminist and all, but her brand of feminism doesn’t include Muslim and/or middle-eastern women.

Left: a very divisive individual stoking tensions
Right: KILL THEM
I’ve always loved her writing and her way with words.
