I remember a discussion I had with a friend a long time ago. They disagreed with me when I called feminism a women’s advocacy movement. They insisted it was a women’s rights movement. I said that’s silly. I said when women win equality in places the feminist activism doesn’t stop. They continue to advocate and push for more women. And since men’s advocacy is basically illegal, the spaces end up becoming fully female.
Young boys are being discouraged from getting into reading—and it’s because more books are missing one key element, @sophiah_n reports: theatlantic.com/culture/2026…

"Books For Boys" discourse is of special interest because I have a young boy and can tell you that books for his age range, like 4-7, SUCK, you're more likely to find 10 books about Magical Black Girl Hair before you find a single one about a normal boy going on an adventure

I'm going to lay this out as simply as I can Shobhit. I'm not going to be a dick. No hate. Just laying it out for you.
The reason why you're seething at the admins decision, is the same reason why H1Bs shouldn't be imported en masse to take these jobs. Here we go:
- You don't possess a magical skill that Americans (as a broad athnos) lack. 99% of the time, H1B hiring is pure economics. You will do the work for cheaper.
- Culture (both in business and in civic life) changes based on demographics. We're not blank slates. This is a fact. 100 Americans brought into a department at an Indian company, would fundamentally alter the culture and environment of that company. There would be friction between these groups because of natural in-group preference.
- You are not entitled to a job at an American company. Perhaps, you should express some gratitude, rather than speaking down.
- Proactive Government policy should incentivize the hiring of native born citizens. America is not an economic zone. It is a people, culture, and identity. There are tens of thousands of smart, driven, and talented young Americans struggling to find work because of the H1B program. What is better for America, in the long run, is to incentivize the hiring of these individuals.
- H1B workers send billions of dollars BACK to their home country in the form of remittances. These are minimally taxed. Your money doesn't stay here because this is not your home.
- Numerous loopholes in the H1B program allow for individuals such as yourself to then bring over numerous family members which are a net negative to the American taxpayer.
- Since you're exceptionally talented (more so than an American) and love your country so much, your own logic would dictate that you should stay in your home country. India needs you.
I hope this helps.
When Amazon hired me on an H-1B visa, Amazon was making losses for 10 straight years. It was operating out of a rented building where we worked on door desks in small cabins. I was in the initial team that built AWS.
Today AWS contributes more than 60% to Amazon's profit. The stock price has gone 300x. Amazon's buildings have changed the skyline of downtown Seattle. Jeff Bezos went on to become the world's richest man.
There were about a hundred H1B visa holders like me in the initial team of Amazon. Good luck building companies and wealth without these 'indentured servants'

This is collective bargaining in action. Everyone in the dating market is trying to give up the least amount possible. Women who cross the picket line are labeled a pick-me, while male scabs are derided as simps.
Maybe we lost the plot with no-fault divorce, but marriage is supposed to be the end of the haggling. Wives are supposed to be a pick-me for their husband. Husbands are supposed to be a simp for their wife.
This is one of the biggest own-goals women routinely make in their marriages that kills passion and creates resentment. And people wonder why problems start to creep up post-kids.
Yes, there's a context to how you should dress. Maybe don't take the mini-skirt to the playground. Save it for date night.
But when new moms decide to permanently and totally eliminate their identity as a sex object, they are telling their husband on some level they are no longer going to try to please him. He doesn't get to have the "hot girl" anymore, even though THAT is what he married.
You might think this is just superficial. But since clothes reflect identity and vice-versa, when a woman stops dressing sexily, it affects more than just what she wears, but how she relates to her sexuality altogether. So inevitably the laziness creeps into the bedroom
I've said this many times before, but one of the major reasons sexual quality and quantity declines after kids is the identity shift women generate around their own "sexiness" after becoming moms. They no longer seek to be desirable, and since female sexuality is based on this, their drive declines in turn. Rather than accepting they can be many things, and simply emphasize one or the other in different contexts (like how you have one role at your job vs one with the kids), they decide unilaterally the girl he loved is gone and he just has to accept the new one
It's amazing so many women do this when THEY are frustrated their husbands - who used to go out, have fun, and "do cool things" - now just work all the time. It's really not any different. You are becoming boring and unattractive, and wonder why the relationship is suddenly suffering.
It shouldn't need to be said, but if your spouse is sad about the fact you are changing something that doesn't need to be changed, maybe don't do it.

When I see a woman with tattoos I think she likes to think of herself as a brave independent woman fighting against the stereotypes of womanhood. A fuck you to a culture that would try to control her. The only problem, most women now have tattoos, so her act of rebellion is actually just following the crowds. It’s faux independence. It’s following the mainstream, the safe cultural position in the name of being a free spirit. It’s a resistance to a cultural force that hasn’t been dominate in my life time. When I see a woman with a tattoo I assume she’s going to have this same attitude to pretty much everything else in life too.
The currently fashionable male view of tattoos on women is a hysterical herd phenomenon, which pretends to be some kind of sophisticated anthropological "red pill"—except it's obviously wrong.
The meme says "tattoo = red flag" and "no tattoo has ever made a woman more beautiful."
These two observations are contradictory. What none of the Men Against Female Tattoos ever acknowledge is:
Red Flags are Hot. Red flags are not predictors of stability, faithfulness, or sustainable compounding of value, but not all the attractions of human life are perfectly correlated with the preferences of uptight Anglo shopkeepers.
The most sexually attractive traits are correlated with a propensity toward self-destruction: risk, recklessness, and self-endangerment, even to the point of death. Read Freud, Bataille, or even within evo-psych just look at Life History Theory. Self-destruction has always been one of the sexiest things in the world—and for good reasons, even if it cuts against long-term stability.
It may be true that one tattoo rarely makes a woman more beautiful (in part because one tattoo has little signal either way), but what this popular refrain ignores is the following inconvenient fact: Many tattoos can make a woman far more attractive. If you've ever been to a bar at night (many of these men have not), the hottest woman there (according to the actual felt sense of lust averaged across all the men), will ALWAYS be the wild-looking, heavily tattooed baddie over the pristine girl in a sundress, assuming other traits are equal.
If any of these anti-tattoo men were approached by one of these women below, in a bar past 11pm, they would simply wet their pants. They would not be able to handle it, and they've never had the opportunity, either. And I think they know that this is true, which is why they hysterically project against any woman with ANY SINGLE tattoo, with this weirdly intellectualized gloss that folds if you even poke it for a second.
Men who love to talk about their zero-tolerance policy for tattoos on women are often just boring, fearful, cowardly men who know nothing of romance, love, sex, or death. All they care about is securing a loyal safe obedient slave who is guaranteed to never put their long-term value accretion at risk. This is also why many of them never get married at all, or stay perpetually divorced; and the ones who are married are often just uptight bores and petty tyrants over boring, lame little households. Can we also talk about how this anti-tattoo hysteria is itself a kind of inverted woke feminism—it's so prissy, so fixated on "trauma" (which is probably not real, and a left-wing bludgeon), etc.
Sorry bros but the theory presented here is far more consistent with the data. It's OK to have your own preferences; you don't have to dress them up as profound social theories, which conveniently also frame yourself as a good person, and women you could never get as bad people!

Accepting the premise that any aid is a perpetually binding moral obligation is an excellent reason to never offer any

In 2009 Australia’s top marginal tax rate of 45% kicked in at $180k
If this had been properly indexed to inflation, today it would kick in around $280k
Instead, it hits at $190k
This is a dishonest and stealth form of theft
We don’t hate these politicians enough !!

When you pull into town late, you do not take your foid to fast food, anon. Their digestive systems cannot take the punishment.
You need to go to the grocery store and get some salamis, crackers, Dijon, cheese, and olives. It's called "girl dinner" and they can travel long distances on moderate rations.
She'll probably grab strawberries and kombucha. Just let it happen. She is healing.

We've heard endless talk about White Male Radicalization (and perhaps some it is true) but the degree to which young white college-educated women have been radicalized leftward over the last 15 years demands discussion

Nothing makes me feel more like a NPC in an open world video game than sitting in a department store while my wife looks at clothes. Background pop music, people walking around silently in loops, inane chatter.

In the liberal mind, multiculturalism is the transitional stage to an egalitarian utopia.
Cultural differences, no matter how violent things get, are just cosmetic. We're all fundamentally the same blank slates, deep down.
The real problem is the people noticing differences.
If you notice broad group-based patterns of behaviour, you are creating "division", doing a "racism", and are the real reason why everyone hasn't liquidated their identity into universal grey goo yet.
It's Schrödinger's Diversity: the belief that imported groups only commit violent crime and terror attacks when being observed.
That's why the total state wants to censor any negative opinions about badly behaved groups. You are the only reason we aren't living in John Lennon's Imagine yet, anon.
The blank slate is behind so much of liberal thinking.

The blank slate feels good. However, a large proportion of psychological traits are heritable and relatively stable across environments.
This includes things like intelligence, temperament, impulse control, anxiety, aggression, conscientiousness and vulnerability to addiction and mental illness.
Genes strongly shape outcomes, not just potential but actual life trajectories. Early environment matters less than most people intuitively believe once a basic safety is met. Parenting style explains surprisingly little variance in adult personality.
Children are not blank slates that love or kindness can fundamentally change.
Adoption does not rewrite a child’s underlying dispositions. It may improve material conditions, reduce harm, and increase opportunities, but it does not fundamentally transform temperament, cognitive capacity, or long term behavioural tendencies.
Parents are denied this knowledge. They are straight up lied to.
And then this happens.

She somehow managed to bring trans ideology into this.
The reality: Islam has a problem with Jews, Christians and the Australian lifestyle and culture.
While most Muslims won’t act on it, at any given time we have a large amount of Muslim men who will.
On Sunday, they succeeded.
This is the first time it’s happened in Australia but I have lost track of how many times it’s happened overseas.
It’s going to happen again.
Your proposed hate speech laws mean less than nothing. Jihadists aren’t radicalised by hate speech.
They are radicalised by their religious texts, and the mosques politicians like you allow to preach whatever the fuck they want to here. You allow them to fester, you think their culture is beautiful and lovely and smells like roses, you do not offer any encouragement to temper their fanaticism and to assimilate into the Australian culture.
Then you and the Left in general provide them with the cover that this is just about Palestine and human rights, and sanitise their image in the public eye.
Through your cowardice and sycophancy not only have you helped enable the murder of 15 innocent people, you’ve done something even worse in my eyes. You made jihadists happy.
They were there at the pro-Hamas rally of October 9. You voted to reinstate funding to Hamas through UNRWA, this made them happy.
You laundered their jihadism into something palatable and professional and you did it very well. With leaders like you, we are asleep at the wheel.

The Australian Prime Minister spoke a total of 5022 words in public about the Bondi Massacre and did not once say the words ''Muslim,'' ''Islam'' or ''Islamic extremism.''
He did however twice raise the threat of ''right wing extremism.'' Even though Bondi was an Islamic terror attack.

Sorry to break it to you, but the idea that a guy of Pakistani background was born here, and still managed to acquire a deadly level of third-world ethnic hatred, is unlikely to make the xenophobes “pipe down”
