Yes, it sounds like a clinical description of another species. Similar to calling women “females”, without the grammar mistake.

Hot weather + amphetamine can be extra uncomfortable, not that anyone is doing anything like that and if they are, it’s totally what all the powerful and winning dudes do, so it’s cool. I hear it it’s misuse makes a person super duper coherent in speeches and interviews...

me too! Maybe we should pick a time for all of us to stand and yell this. It would be incredibly entertaining.

Great article- I can totally relate. This isn’t just a millennial thing. Men of all ages are like this. I’m consistently disappointed. A good audio companion to this piece (if you haven’t heard it already) is the series “No” from The Heart podcast. It doesn’t focus on the fake feminist men phenom, but covers some…

Since everything is connected, I suggest the first thing we can do is make sacrifices like going without cheap goods, cheap oil, producing so much garbage. It’s all about money and who can be exploited the easiest. I just don’t think the progressive “we” care as much as we claim to.

Every member of the UN, except the US have ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_the_Rights_of_the_Child).

No kidding! Is it a sign that he can sound like an idiot and it doesn’t matter or have his people abandoned the idea of working with him? I would think they would at least try to make him appear coherent.

Very true!  I’m also thinking of the relationship between unwanted pregnancies and crime, the environment, disease- all of the larger problems that do eventually hurt everyone.

Women’s reproductive rights and ability to access affordable healthcare are issues that affect both men and women. Society benefits when they are secure.

Increase in unwanted children = more poor people willing to work for low wages, fill private prisons, fight oil wars.

Reminded me of this 1970's story about “baby x” https://www.amazon.com/fabulous-childs-story-Lois-Gould/dp/0913780219 

I think it actually is working- the point of abstinence only sex ed is not to prevent teen pregnancies, but to promote early marriage and/or childbirth. This keeps women out of the workforce and dependent on men/state/ low wage labor for survival. Same with anti-abortioners. It’s about women’s independence and…

Perfect casting!

This is wonderful advice and it’s frankly nice to read about other people’s cringe-worthy moments. A few years ago, I decided to embrace awkward social situations, to enjoy that part of myself that can’t always make smooth social interactions. Being human and trying to communicate with other humans is hard, but I…

I had a friend in her early 30's who died from this. I think it was 2 or 3 months from surgery to death. I remember reading somewhere about an option to adjust morcellation surgery so all the tissue/cells would be contained (maybe using a plastic bag?).
