I keep threatening to write about how gender shapes today’s events. Since Scott Bessant’s favorite metaphor for Donald Trump’s desire for Greenland is rape, https://bsky.app/profile/antongerashchenko.bsky.social/post/3mctxk7q6ds26 let’s go ahead with a dump of Bluesky posts that have to do with misogyny and related issues.

Trump gave another demented old man rambling in a disturbingly random fashion at Davos today, where he said he won't use force to take Greenland but he's definitely taking it,.
I am skeptical (outside of Democrats winning the House and maybe breaking even in the Senate, but that's not really a reckoning), but Michael Tomasky wants to make the case.
