It was a striking statement on the eve of the Women’s March on Washington.

It was organized to put the Trump administration on notice about women’s rights — and it could draw more attendees than the inauguration itself.

Last night, during a live broadcast of the American Music Awards on ABC, punk legends Green Day performed their latest single “Bang, Bang,” as scheduled. But they surprised ABC reps by adding a special message for president-elect Donald Trump in the middle of the song. According to TMZ, ABC reps were thrown “completely off guard” when the band broke into a chant of “No Trump! No KKK! No fascist USA!” during the song’s breakdown, inspiring a standing ovation after the band’s performance.

Trainwreck by Sady Doyle

Tue, 15 Nov 2016 12:40:12 GMT

I've been listening to #Trainwreck by @sadydoyle all afternoon & my husband is asking me why I keep shouting "Down with the patriarchy!"
— Allison (@TheBookWheel) October 29, 2016

All I can really say is - buy this book & read it. It lays bare all the mechanisms beneath the surface, is painful and horrible and yes, makes you want to shout 'Down with the patriarchy!' A lot. Even as we see it unfolding all around us... It's a horribly prescient book, as Sady herself reflects in her latest post:

The Trainwreck Files: Hillary Clinton

And here she is, 10 months ago, writing about Hillary's 'likeability' and the impossible doublestandards any woman has to adhere to: Likable

It's not that anyone around here is blind to how the world works. But this book delves deeper than any other I've read. I literally can't recommend it enough.

Finally, thoughts on 'the patriarchy' by the way of quotes from books... I hope you can see what I'm trying to highlight.

Sady Doyle: With Hillary Clinton’s loss, the future my husband and I were planning for is gone
My husband and I were talking about children. That’s what keeps going through my head. We were standing in a long line outside an elementary school in Brooklyn on Tuesday, waiting to vote.

“Think about it,” he told me. “They’ll never grow up in a world where a woman or a black man can’t be president. It will just be normal to them.”

Why do they hate us?

So very tired of the election... And I'm only watching from the sidelines.

Here's Sady Doyle:

Goodbye to all that: I’m done with Election 2016
It is not fun, was not fun, has never been and could never be fun, spending nearly two years “debating” my own humanity through the lens of the biggest news story in the country. It has not been fun realizing that this matter was up for debate. I mean: By my count, Donald Trump currently has twelve standing allegations of sexual assault. Now, thanks to the magic of modern polling, I can see *exactly* how many of my countrymen don’t give a shit. According to FiveThirtyEight, the number of Americans who would rather elect a rapist than a female human being stands at around 45 percent.

Related:

Hostility toward women is one of the strongest predictors of Trump support
(File this one under: 'Well, duh'. Still very depressing.)

ETA: This one's excellent too:

Stop Pretending You Don’t Know Why People Hate Hillary Clinton

And although Louis CK was very entertaining, I can't argue with this:
Louis C.K., Michael Moore, Hillary Clinton, and the rise of benevolent sexism in liberal men
C.K. obviously means well. He’s trying to compliment mothers in general and Hillary in particular, and to reframe the political liability of her gender into an asset. But he’s playing into a very old and unpleasant narrative that’s become weirdly popular among liberal men this election cycle: the idea that we need women in government because they are intrinsically morally superior to men.

To stop everyone being too depressed, I'll point you towards:

(Link with more details here: Donald Trump Appeared In A 2000 Playboy Softcore Porn. ETA: Clarification: He did not get naked, just broke a bottle of champagne and welcomed the stars to New York. And then they went off & did naughty things on their own without him.)

But, delving into the issue (not the porn!) more deeply and looking at the how and whys:

Donald Trump Is Being Outplayed by Women—and He’s Losing His Mind Over It
The GOP nominee’s pathological sexism could be what kills his presidential hopes. Good.

And then I found this excellent article by Sady Doyle:

Hillary Clinton, who has suffered fools all her life, is bulletproof against Donald Trump’s low blows

Money quote:

[Again,] Trump seemingly hasn’t noticed that by continuing to go after Machado, he’s playing right into Clinton’s characterization of him as a bully. If the opportunity to call a woman ugly comes up, he has to take it. To back down would make him less than a man. And that’s the kind of mindset Clinton is counting on. She’s ready for a debate-as-bullfight: Matador Hillary keeps waving her big red cape (or red suit) in front of the bull, so he’ll put his head down and charge. All the while, she’s planning to stick him as he rushes by.

Trump has not faced an opponent like this before. Jeb Bush cowered. Marco Rubio and Cruz tried and failed to match the reality TV star insult-for-insult. But Hillary Clinton understands the power of holding her ground and smilingly, knowingly baiting him, reaping the rewards every time he combusts.

Or, as she puts it in this tweet:

"Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake" - Napoleon, and also Hillary Clinton's face right now
