I’m more than happy for heterosexual marriage to go into decline, as she says. And totally agree that men need to deal with the fact of female freedom. But if men and women are no longer even talking to each other offline with ever more atomised rejects and neurotics living online existences..
".. the population crisis, the male loneliness crisis, the relationship crisis, the dating crisis, the sex crisis, the heteropessimism, I think those are all dimensions of men's crises with equality." Want to hear more from @sorayachemaly.bsky.social? Watch the full recording here: buff.ly/DSexq8c

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

People having their preferences is good. In fact, it’s great that you don’t have to shack up with a neighbouring baron to consolidate a land holding. The problem only when arises what people prefer doesn’t exist outside of a fairy tale or Hollywood movie.
Unrealistic expectations are probably as old as dating and relationships, but a generation of young people who have grown up with personalised music playlists and online entertainment may be less willing to set their preferences aside
All over the rich world, fewer people are hooking up and shacking up
Social media, dating apps and political polarisation all play a part

The idea that evil exists in DNA is stupid and itself reactionary.
GREAT READ: Should Hitler's DNA have been studied – or just left alone?
Painstaking scientific testing by a team of international experts has been able to debunk a rumour on whether Hitler had Jewish ancestry (he didn't) and determine that he had a genetic disorder.

I like this definition of politics. There is almost no sense of collective responsibility in public policy these days (or at least, in the bits I pay attention to), just partisan jostling for victory.

It baffles me that guys think like this. Not saying that to virtue signal as a male feminist, just because I’d find honestly an unopinionated sweetly smiling woman fucking boring. Can’t imagine anything worse.
Women are most attractive when "childlike", when "feminine" and "powerless" and "unopinionated" and "dependent" and "reliant" and "exploitable" and "lacking any other recourse" and "forced to endure whatever abuse the man who owns her visits upon her".
Hence infantilization and sexualization.
