Young men aren't being told they're bad. They're no LONGER being told that Boys Will Be Boys & everyone else (girls & women) just has to deal w/ it.
I'd submit that the problem isn't 13 yos learning not to touch ppl w/o consent (eg)—it's dads seeing a lifetime of privilege shrink & having feelings.

It's a brutal time for young men, and to be raising one. The primary message they now is get is "YOU'RE BAD" without any meaningful attempt to offer healthy pathways beyond "Don't be a boy."
Absolutely perfect time for right wing monsters to sweep in with shitty answers.

Turned off the @plex.tv for airing Ohio governor campaign commercials a year and a half before the election. I don't live in Ohio and don't care enough about any show or movie to tolerate political garbage.

Republicans have proposed cutting the healthcare of 72 million Americans by as much as $880 BILLION
Why
Because they want to give more tax cuts to the ultra wealthy
Think of it
They’re willing to let people die
So they can give their rich friends-like Elon-tax breaks
Don’t
Cut

Another way this feels similar to COVID — the disaster is already unfolding but the people in charge seem to think it’ll only impact “blue” areas.
I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA.
The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

Just figured out why Trump is at the Super Bowl.
WARNING: Watching Tubi funds Fox News
Tubi is Rupert Murdoch's latest scheme to use entertainment — and especially the Super Bowl — to fund his right-wing agenda and assault on American minds.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if this administration has copies of the Constitution taped to the back of every urinal just so they can literally and figuratively piss all over it.

They fired the archivist at NARA and put Rubio who already several high ranking positions in charge. What a fucking mess.

Something I learned over a decade ago, discussing politics with people whose knowledge of american government is limited to the lyrics of a Lee Greenwood song is an exercise in futility.

Hear me out —
If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is.
Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

Just figured out that they're not trying to take us back to the 1950s. They're trying to take us back to the 1500s. For some of us the call is coming from inside the house.
