So.....no Nobel Prize for Literature?:
Rebecca Solnit
2 mins ·
Today in misogyny: the Nobel Prize in literature is cancelled because a creepy dude fucked everything up there; the spillgates are open about Junot Diaz being kind of awful to a bunch of women; Ta-Nehesi Coates had a whole conversation with another man about the guy who wanted women to be hanged for abortions while women sat mute; three women sued Charlie Rose and CBS over his harrassment; and Trump led the national prayer travesty shortly after acknowledging he paid a woman a lot of money to shut up about what he'd done and not long after he called her a liar. Then he went to the NRA, which is a cult of phallic worship. Mentions of Johnny Depp, Bill Cosby, Roman Polanski, R. Kelly. This is the newsworthy stuff, atop the usual domestic violence assault every eleven seconds or so in the USA, rape every few minutes, and d.v. homicides daily. #timesuphurryup........How do you folks respond to this? My feeling is that Rebecca is right on, no Nobel Prize in literature because there are "no women" suitable to win in this category? I call bullshit...??????

The finish line is never crossed. We still have work to do. Remember to vote. Don't believe the polls as in 2016. See you there.
