1. Those who get angry at there being no Men's History Month or why we only have a Black Lives Matter movement are a bit like people who ask why there's no End Hunger Month for very well-nourished people.
2. Excuses for misogyny which do not work: For example, that Donald Trump
has had a mother, or three wives or two daughters does not disprove his misogyny. Neither does Mollie Hemingway's argument that a misogynist is often just a nasty asshat to everyone, because women tend to get two helpings for every helping men get from that asshat's venom kettle.
3. Even if you are on the side of angels, you should not join an online mob to destroy the life of someone minor and unimportant, as a punishment for some stupid or vile comment that person made. The punishment in those cases is out of proportion to the crime, there has been no judge or jury, and we know from the past that such mob actions are not good. If you feel drawn to take part in such mobs, think about The Scarlet Letter.
4. Never go food shopping very very hungry*. I did, and came back with ice-cream, an almond croissant, a chocolate bar**, a pear frangipane tart, two potted plants and one head of lettuce.
5. It's not worth making a pear frangipane tart. I made one a few months ago and the ingredients cost more than the price of a ready-made one. The work also took most of a Saturday.
On the other hand, my tarts were a lot yummier.
