he published a book called Straight James/Gay James, which included musings about identity and sexuality, including lines like, “Hello woman, I’d like to be you./Not because I don’t enjoy my own man/ Body, my man strength, my man looks, / My man mind, but because I love yours/Even more.”

Wait, this is an American thing? Where the hell in America? I’ve got friends all over the continental US and I have no idea about this thing.

Because ‘bigger name’ is a subjective standard, and subjectivity leaves a huge open door for biases and systemic prejudice to keep working. This is far from the most egregious example, but it is a piece of a very long pattern that keeps finding excuses to pay men more (including writing and casting them as leads more…

I think this quote is apt. Because I suspect we are going to find out that the neighbors suspected; that social services suspected; that their “church” members suspected. But that the entire system did nothing.

Counterpoint: All Starburst flavors are garbage.

Yep. We make it clear that men can’t hit one another, and everyone seems to accept that’s sensible and appropriate - for example, in Victoria (Australia), there’s a law that says a single punch is prosecutionable as a serious crime, after a series of ‘king hit’ attacks sent young men to hospital and even killed them.…

Yes. The onus and effort is always on women. To set the boundaries, enforce them, deal with the repercussions if they are transgressed, and rehabilitate the transgressor.

I have no interest or intention of rehabbing men. Like the spoiled children they’ve behaved as, they can sit down and think about what they’ve done for a while. Bouts of unemployment or underemployment is only fair. I can’t number the opportunities I’ve lost for speaking up or fighting back.

Um. Yeah.  We have to work at least twice as hard to get half as far (more so if we’re women of color). We have to “set the boundaries” at work or on a date. We have to be the ones to risk our jobs to report misconduct or harassment or failure to pay us equally — and sometimes we have to leave our jobs when the man…

“I think I speak for many of my former colleagues when I say this was not the Matt we knew.”

From a rescue, or a kill pen, I’d say. Save a pony from going to slaughter.

You were lucky to have a room. In Yorkshire we just had a hole in the floor we had to have sex in which was also the toilet, kitchen, and bedroom!

Musk is either lying through his teeth, or he’s one of those smart people who has no real-world intelligence whatsoever. Because I have known people who can do things like attend a sex party and then go “oh my god, is THAT what was happening?!” in total earnesty.

How about a Bush Baby?

OH NO. recalibration of the list is now necessary.

What about Sand Cats?

I think you forgot to include a pic:
