Ending DEI practices in college admissions will expose an uncomfortable truth. Women now outperform men academically.

If universities stop trying to gender balance incoming classes but instead admit based on merit, they’ll reject men at higher rates than they do today.
Trump’s attack on DEI may hurt college men, particularly White men
The Trump administration’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion also targets gender. The ban may impact gender balancing practices that often benefit college men.

As we go into 2026, keep your focus on who you'd like to become rather than who you've been.

Right! Then add that even with all of the evidence including video, plenty of people are still blaming Cassie.

Folks want women to expose the men who do them wrong, but almost every time, the woman gets more backlash for being with him in the first place & everyone jumps in her face about missing red flags & “accountability.”

If you aren’t a “perfect victim,” it might not even feel worth it to share.

I'm not raising my boys to be "providers" as an identity. I'm rasing responsible adults.

All of the talk about the "masculinity crisis" is really about finding nicer ways to argue that men need to be restored to a place of total economic superiority over women. We are back to benevolent sexism.

Yep. Computers are necessary to learned computer based skills. They are 100% unnecessary to learn in general.

My position remains that for straight cis gender people, gender roles is just extended length foreplay for fucking. Its acting. Nothing more. The moment you allow yourself to think it has importance beyond that or has implications for institutions and society at large is when things get fucked up.

okay folks, “government name” doesn’t mean “work for the government.” it is a slang term meaning “your full name”

Black people have always known what white people were about in this country. I’m not surprised they’re coming for birthright citizenship or that they’re snatching people off the streets, or that the bad economy isn’t stopping the power consolidation. White people want supremacy more than joy.

“They’re economically disconnected and are distracted by culture war issues”

No. They justify their economic suffering through the lens of cultural hierarchy. We’ve been doing this since poor white Southerners marched into the maw of war for wealthy slaveholders.

It turns out the “culture war” was the point all along, just like Black people said it was.
