As someone who never dates it might not be my place to comment on the dating scene but as a sw I think I can because men open up to me all the time. Today I was talking to a girl who was surprised that men get lonely and want romance/love too…lol…crazy that people think men wouldn’t feel like that

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class.
This is Kirk's legacy.
You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

I don’t celebrate Kirk’s death, but I’ll be damned before I say one word of praise about him. Every day of his adult life he worked hard to diminish the rights of people he didn’t like, and I refuse to pretend otherwise.
The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.

Please don't confuse my lack of being surprised by the events of today with anything akin to "celebration." This is all very, very fucked. The fact that I'm not shocked doesn't mean I'm gloating. I've just been fucking reading the room for a while and the vibes are (and have been) very BAD

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

In 2014, Anita Sarkeesian canceled an event at Utah State after a credible assassination threat because the school’s response was that Utah allows guns on college campuses.
People have warned about this kind of violence for years. But they weren’t the people the powers at be wanted to protect.

Although it's rarely expressed in outright terms, people often use a very simple heuristic when solving fashion problems: they wish to look rich, which is often disguised as "respectable."

It is worth reminding every American today that the people who hid Anne Frank were outlaws. The people who sent her to die in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp were law-abiding citizens.
It is hard to express enough how terrible today's decision is.
ICE will now send people to countries they've never been to or even heard of — Mexicans to South Sudan, Vietnamese to Libya, Venezuelans to Kosovo —and those people will have no right to challenge that decision.

“Porn” is a public good.

“Porn” is record of the diversity of sexual expression.
“Porn” brings people joy, access to parts of themselves that they may not have another way to express.
It’s worth defending on its own.

If you're concerned about the ethics of porn, maybe you could try just paying the people who make it? Best way to minimize exploitation is just to directly put money in the hands of laborers. Pay for your porn and jerk off guilt-free.
