I'm teaching a Feminist Sex Wars class right now (and writing a book on about how the war isn't really over) so this is very front and center for me. Breathing through the rage bait and trying to make sense of what has stakes/weight/impact has been my main task! Relatedly: I'm trying to figure out if it's worth responding to a currently viral Substack post about "pedobait" that I find deeply....wrong. Just so so very wrong. But it's a young writer and there's all the important stuff that gets brought up in these kinds of things (stats about violence against girls, all real, etc.) so idk. But it's getting mega-clicks and so many young people are really insisting on the Dworkian framework re: many things. </3 Anyway, so grateful for your work, as ever!
