From the same newspaper that published “did feminism fuck up the work place?”, we now have “did feminism fuck up sex?”
The NYT really is desperate to cater to conservative audiences and it’s just getting more obvious and embarrassing.

The endless column inches, YouTube videos, podcasts and more given over to the largely non-existent rightwards shift of young men is exhausting.
A small fraction are getting radicalised by the online right. But most young men vote left and liberal! Even more so than millennials did at their age!

There seems to be a not insignificant number of people in the Epstein Files who hold prominent positions at colleges.
Yet, there’s no uproar over what these elites are teaching students. Or how many of them overlook sexual assault on their own campuses.

BREAKING: Bard College President Leon Botstein’s name appears in the Epstein files more than 2,500 times, including arranging travel to Epstein’s island and hosting a visit with “girls” on campus…
As a Bard student parent, I demand Leon Botstein’s immediate removal.

Eliminating ICE is the modern equivalent of opposing the Iraq War, and right now there are two types of Democrats: those who can see where the ball is moving and go to it, and those who will be swept away because they refused to do so.

“Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back.
“Don’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall. “What you are voting for is not moral.”

Also the data doesn't support that there was *ever* a time when there was "large-scale premarital chastity." Historically, premarital and extramarital sex has always been extremely common.

This rhetorical framing is everywhere but it makes no sense. What does it mean for the left to "acknowledge" something?
Who is in charge of the acknowledgement? How do they make it? Do we all need to sign a letter or something?
