How can you address men's emotional needs at a time when the "feminization of everything" has become the consensus source of all society's problems, and emotional needs are coded as feminine?
My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

More than a decade ago trans people were warning that the far right wouldn’t stop with trans people.

Wes Streeting’s ‘Overdiagnosis’ Crusade Isn’t Going to Help Anyone | Novara Media
Mental health diagnoses are far from perfect. But attacking ‘overdiagnosis’ as a way to push sick and disabled people back into work is far worse, argues Micha Frazer-Carroll.

When people who work jobs are too important to allow to strike, but not important enough to pay properly, then you need to recognise what you're being sold.

Dear Mental Health Professionals (and unqualified interested parties with valid concerns),
We need you to stop telling people that it isn't their fault that the world is so awful right now and, instead, tell them that it is.

The fact you can't tax billionaires without them sinking millions and millions into pushing fascism kinda provides the exact reason that billionaires shouldn't exist.

When you can solve pretty much any problem you could possibly face simply by throwing money at it, your problem solving skills will atrophy. When there is, essentially, no penalty for succumbing to unwise impulses, why would you even attempt to exercise self-control?

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

Keir Starmer increasingly looks like Rishi Sunak did at the start of 2024: a flustered, tetchy leader of a clapped out government hated by the country for delivering only lies and misery.
Unlike the Tories, though, Labour has taken eighteen months rather than fifteen years to get there.

The Convention on Human Rights was created to stop fascism. Now, Keir Starmer insists that the only guardrail we have against fascism is to destroy the guardrail against fascism. The man is both stupid and a coward.

each of us contains the full genetic instructions for both testosterone & estrogen driven hormone loadouts (along with varying combos of both)
this can be changed at any time. our genes will even start expressing themselves differently within ~3-6 months.
this is an existential threat to fascists.

"current hormone loadout"

You weren't unfairly dismissed, you weren't treated poorly, you had no right to abuse your colleague (who did nothing wrong at any point), in fact you literally committed a hate crime by harassing her.
