Did Women of Valor Ruin the Workplace?

I tried to buy some real estate, but by the time I considered it, she already considered it AND bought it AND planted a vineyard there by her own labors. And whenever I complain to HR, her loins are girded with strength and her arms strengthened with might.
many people are saying!

This question by the way is literally just what Gamergate was about just expanded to the rest of society. Gamergate was literally "Did Women Ruin Video Games?"

Did women ruin the workplace? Is the white race genetically superior? Was 9/11 a controlled demolition? Are my dental fillings receiving secret CIA broadcasts?

I've always loved this anecdote from Mira Nair, filmmaker and mother of Zohran Mamdani, about pitching a studio exec on MISSISSIPPI MASALA (1991) and being told he'd only fund it if it had more white people

"I said, 'Well, all the waiters in this film will be white. Of that, I can promise you.'"

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night.

He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

The double defeat of Andrew Cuomo, remember!
The defeat of Andrew Cuomo, as much as the triumph of Zohran Mamdani, marks a decisive new era in New York politics, political columnist Ross Barkan writes. In New York, at least, the Democratic gerontocracy is collapsing.
A Mayor for a New Age
Zohran Mamdani’s win is astonishing and important. Now, he must rise to the massive challenges of governing.
