I've captioned each of the photos with context. I've always been anti-pit, but seeing this kind of deranged pitnutter behavior in my local community made my blood boil. Even with the photo of the pitbull charging, people were still trying to defend it saying "hOw Do YoU kNoW iT wOuLd AtTaCk?!" and plenty of "it's the owner not the breed."

When is enough going to be enough? It's sad that we have to defend ourselves in the first place, but the fact that even if you successfully defend yourself, you'll be doxxed and sent death threats by local bands of pitnutters is just lunacy.

Is it safe to say our rights are under attack?

I've been seeing, online (yes, I know), more and more men saying brazenly, with their real names and faces "repeal the 19th." Most people try to tell me it's "just idiots online." But I believe "just idiots online" were a huge reason Trump was elected. These are real people with real power, saying what they can't in real life, with thousands and thousands of likes agreeing with them, and more and more statistics are coming out about Gen Z men and their attitudes towards women.

Yet the MRA movement is becoming popular with leftist men, not just right-wingers, the manosphere has powerful rhetoric that is reaching men of all kinds. It scares the crap out of me, as a woman about to have a daughter. Yet it seems like women's rights as a subject has taken the back burner even in progressive spaces. The manosphere is a real danger and it is not simply an online phenomenon that has no power in the real world, it needs to be treated as a serious threat because these men will happily go and vote for our rights to be taken.
