Um, yes, the song has come on the radio when I was in my car with my daughters.

That one actually matters, if only slightly. When the local radio station plays a tribute to outdated gender norms that feed into rape culture while my young daughters are in the car, I care about that. The classification of a decades-old action film matters to no one.

I just don’t understand how anybody with a uterus could view politics this way.

Oh, you’re right - there were *much* worse examples of this phenomenon in the 40s. But none of them keep coming on my car radio here in 2024. I’m not saying this song was evil. I’m just saying it’s time to let it go.

How many other people in this country died by firearms this week? You should do a story on whether there are massive manhunts underway for those killers.

This song is a clear demonstration of how slut shaming perpetuates rape culture. A woman who can’t say “yes” without playing hard to get is a woman who can’t say “no” and be taken seriously. Let’s not glorify that antiquated nonsense.

Thanks for the heads-up!!

This article helped me discover a new coping strategy - selectively identifying as male. "Come on over! I don't need to tidy up. I'm a man." Walking toward me on the sidewalk and taking up all the space? Better move - I'm a man. Interrupt me in a meeting? I'm gonna keep talking, because I'm a man.

If women can claw back some of the extra 9 hours per week that we spend on household tasks (compared to men), we'll have lots more time to focus on what is important.

Thanks!!

I have just decided that, from now on, solely in the area of housework, I plan to identify as male.

I'd also love to see more eco-nationalist messaging. As soon as we dig up fossil fuels, they become part of an international market in which supplies and prices are determined by Russia, China, etc. But our sunshine and our wind belong to us and nobody can mess with them. American Energy First! 🇺🇸
