The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Seeing a lot of takes about how Mamdani's win doesn't mean other left candidates should do what he did because it won't necessarily work for them.
As opposed to how well chasing the centre-right vote has historically worked? I dunno, man, I think it's worth a pop.
