"...So, in this moment, here in the land of legislatively legitimated toxic masculinity, is it really so illogical to hate men?
For all the power of #MeToo and #TimesUp and the women’s marches, only a relatively few men have been called to task, and I’ve yet to see a mass wave of prosecutions or even serious recognition of wrongdoing.
On the contrary, cries of “witch hunt” and the plotted resurrection of celebrity offenders came quick on the heels of the outcry over endemic sexual harassment and violence.
I love Michelle Obama as much as the next woman, but when they have gone low for all of human history, maybe it’s time for us to go all Thelma and Louise and Foxy Brown on their collective butts.
...So men, if you really are #WithUs and would like us to not hate you for all the millennia of woe you have produced and benefited from, start with this: Lean out so we can actually just stand up without being beaten down.
- Pledge to vote for feminist women only.
- Don’t run for office.
- Don’t be in charge of anything.
- Step away from the power.
We got this.
And please know that your crocodile tears won’t be wiped away by us anymore.
We have every right to hate you.
You have done us wrong.

It is long past time to play hard for Team Feminism.
And win."
