Polite expects nothing in return. Trying to force an interaction isn't polite.

Everything after the age gap was expected.
Men who don't accept a no, think it's a negotiation, & throw a tantrum over a no will eventually be your rapist.
Maybe he should take it up with men that men aren't kind & helpful without the potential for sex.
THE CONVERSATION Newsletters WITH SWE N HOW every man who ends Is Your Unsplash, Youtube.com, TikTok.com, The Conversation 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research Published: March 5, 2026 4:19pm EST
Finding the common threads Though vastly different, extremist movements, such as far-right ethno- nationalists, religious fundamentalists and online "incel" communities, have something in common. The ideological language may differ, but the underlying insistence on women's "rightful place" in society binds these movements together. Around the world, there is a growing sentiment that "feminism has gone too far" or that men are now discriminated against. In Australia and other Western countries, this sentiment has risen steadily since 2021.
Our research In our recent national survey of Australian adults and adolescents, we examined general misogynistic attitudes and support for violent extremism. We asked whether it is legitimate to use violence to resist feminism. More than 17% of all Australians agree feminism should be resisted with violence. It was the second most supported form of extremist attitude. Our study included a representative sample of 13-17-year-olds across Australia. The findings are even more confronting among these participants.
This is the world young women and girls are growing up in.
IWD commemorates our fight for equality and liberation. But the fight is not over. We must fight for our trans sisters. We must fight for our bodily autonomy, for disability rights, mental health access, and reproductive rights. We must fight for justice for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. We must fight for comprehensive immigration reform & fight against discrimination and racial inequality. We must fight for family courts which protect mothers and children, and for better conditions and protections for incarcerated women.
This International Womenβs Day, we keep the faith and we keep fighting.
Happy International Women's Day

As an atheist, I'm constantly lectured I have no basis for morality, except that my empathy dictates my morality. Meanwhile a christian can cheat on his wife & sexually terrorize a young subordinate into suicide then declare himself forgiven & shrug. My morality could never.
I think Fetterman gets ire because he ran as a progressive then unmasked as MAGA while Cuellar was open about hating women & was even endorsed by Pelosi. It's okay to be a conservative in the "big tent" if you're honest about it, I guess.
He wouldn't be attractive to me because of the religion & (claimed) political apathy.
If men were trying to make marriage work, they wouldn't keep finding themselves divorced. Making a marriage work doesn't begin at divorce & isn't complaining about women's ability to leave unhappy, unhealthy situations.
The list of ICE and Customs and Border Protection sex offenders and sex pests is now up to 62.
Markwayne Mullin never served in US military, but often speaks as if he did www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...
No more forced-birther Dems.
No mention in this article by @bostonglobe.com that these planes are operated by Omni Air and have also been used for ICE deportations. I think it's worth mentioning repeatedly that the Patriots have a relationship with the company doing the detainee torture flights.
OK, so it's not a secular "war" we are engaging in with Iran; it's a religious "crusade."
This is why the inflated claims & stolen valor of white men's labor are so offensive. Historically & now white men have terrorized marginalized people out of spaces (or stolen credit), then claimed it's overwhelmingly represented by white men out of merit.
So he'll stay single because women young enough to be his daughter won't fuck him? Yeah, that loneliness epidemic is a mystery but I appreciate him sparing women his age.
"Used 23 years of instances"
The opposite over she up & left me one day over dishes in the sink. Now it's she rolled out the scroll of harm. So women are never justified in leaving.
And these MAGA women getting discarded will learn nothing about their loyalty to men & movements that hate them.

Also want to point out that two non-white boys, at least one who had none of the advantages the wealthy white boys had to pursue the sport & become good, just raw talent, were terrorized out of a sport they hoped to pursue to greatness. Then white men claim to dominate everything.
I hope both families win. And sue the families too.
And this is why it's not "just a joke." The permission to abuse & dehumanize directly encourages an escalation.

We really need to talk more about supremacist ideology being enforced through sexual violence even among men which is minimized & dismissed as "hazing." Two boys were terrorized with racist rhetoric & repeatedly sexually assaulted. The school protected the perpetrators.
"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminismβbecause pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating."

These are the people who call women too sensitive & ruled by emotion. Women opting out is only a harm to men who feel entitled to own human beings. The way men define harm to themselves, while dismissing their abuse of women, continues to outline why women aren't safe. And why they should opt out.
I'm sorry what? I guess it depends on your definition of captured. CBS has most certainly changed its editorial point of view from middle of the road to strategically pro-MAGA/ pro-Trump went it really counts. The examples are everywhere & even confirmed from inside the newsroom like here:

Policing & blaming women for patriarchy to prevent women from exposing & criticizing it is power preservation. It's just more patriarchy. We don't have to be Good Girls, play nice, & ignore the horrors (& contradictions) of patriarchy.
