Late afternoon, just as my daughter and I got home two representatives from Verizon. They started their spiel by telling me that they had installed a new cell tower up the hill from us. OK. No big deal. A bunch of towers have gone up in the last decade and I told him so.

No. That was the entry point to trying sell us on Verizon internet. They go on to ask if we were ATT or Comcast customers. Blank faced I told him neither. To which they jump to the idea that we don't have internet.

Eventually they figure out that we have Sonic. They then tell me to give them my phone so they can Google Sonic for me to show me how much better their service will be.

I told them no. We've been customers of Sonic for 20 years and close the door.

That should have been the end of it. But the instant my husband comes home, they're back to upsell him.

#Italy's centre-left #PartitoDemocratico ( #PD ) on Sunday called on Premier #GiorgiaMeloni to intervene over #sexist comments at a #Rome museum event by Undersecretary #VittorioSgarbiV that have caused a furore.
Employees at Rome's #MAXXI contemporary #art museum wrote to their director to protest after Sgarbi spoke extensively about his "dick" & his sexual conquests & gave estimates about the number of women famous statesmen of the past had had sex with.

Another woman who was called disgusting. Here’s the NYTimes when it actually tried to do reporting about sexual assault and harassment.

Southern Baptist Convention ousts second-largest church led by Rick Warren over women pastors

“The church should be a place where both men and women can exercise those spiritual gifts," Wood said. "My wife has the spiritual gift of teaching and she is really good."

The Southern Baptist Convention also kicked out five other churches on Tuesday, four additional churches for having women pastors and one for sexual abuse.

Opinion More and more, trolls and haters attack female journalists

…..as report published Feb. 14 by the International Center for Journalists shows in graphic terms that the internet also created dark alleys of hate, misogyny and violence aimed at female journalists.

Twitter “is the main vector” for the attacks, and the platform “has utterly failed to protect the journalist,”

Short answer: Hobby Lobby, which apparently thinks it can make you forget about its anti-woman, anti-gay activism with this happy-crappy bullshit:

Fresh disclosures about Met Police officers sending racist and sexist messages have come to light – just hours after two cops were given jail sentences for joking about rape and domestic violence.
The latest revelations, uncovered by openDemocracy follow a 12-month battle by the UK’s biggest police force to keep the details secret. In some cases, they relate to officers who kept their jobs despite their misconduct. #misogny #Police https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/freedom-of-information/metropolitan-police-social-media-abuse-revealed/

Try to ignore it all we like, but young men across the world are being seduced by the misogynist, conspiratorial teachings of influencers, writes Matthew Neale. Is early compassion the way to stop it?

So I read that the Missouri legislature has banned its female representatives from exposing their bare arms. Doesn’t the 2nd amendment guarantee the right to bare arms? Where does the GOP find these people, #Missouri #Misogny
