Every single person who was intensely upset after the 2016 election is completely vindicated. We said he’d start a war, we said he’d act like a tyrant, we said he’d engage in corruption never seen before in US history, we said he was compromised by foreign powers. We were right.
The only book by a woman I recall reading during school curriculum was The Outsiders…and a lot of ppl didn’t realize its author was a woman.
Based on my mentions I’m gathering that men don’t want to be forced to read any books about/by women in school because doing so makes them feel that they are being dismissed, vilified, and erased entirely. Do I have that right?

No, it that men and the male experience are seen as the default of humanity, while the female PoV is other. If a male comedian does an anecdote about something that happened in his life, it's comedy, if a woman does it she's doing a lecture about being a woman.
Because, in general, men write fiction that appeals to everyone, regardless of whether the protagonist is a man or a woman.
In general women write things that appeal to women.
Look at it in other places. Comedy and sports are two other great examples. The majority of male comedians appeal to everyone. The majority of female comedians base their whole shtick on being a woman.

The idea that the problem with our culture is that men and boys are underrepresented in books, films, TV, etc, is so bonkers as to actually surely be some sort of delusion disorder requiring powerful medication

To all the people texting me asking if this is a real quote:

261108 #MONSTA_X speech after receiving the Best Group award at KGMA :
Hello everyone, we’re MONSTA X. It’s nice to see you all.
I’m honestly very nervous because this is my first time giving an acceptance speech like this.
First of all, I’d like to sincerely thank everyone at KGMA and Ilgan Sports.
Unfortunately, #Shownu hyung couldn’t be here with us today because he isn’t feeling well, but I’ll give this speech imagining that he’s standing right here beside me.
#Kihyun hyung couldn’t make it today either, but I’ll imagine that he’s here with us too.
And #Changkyun, who’s currently serving in the military.
Since we’ve been given the title of Best Group, we’ll continue working hard so that all six of us, including #Changkyun, can come together again and keep showing you wonderful performances and great music. Thank you.
This year marks our 12th year since we first stood on stage, and next year we’ll soon be entering our 13th year.
I think this has been a year in which I’ve felt especially grateful, not so much for achieving something big, but simply for being able to continue standing on stage and for having people who come to see us and support us.
I’d like to dedicate all of that gratitude to our MONBEBE.
And I’d also like to sincerely thank our hair, makeup, and styling teams, our video production team, and everyone who always works so hard for us.
Thank you so much.
LOVE YOU MONBEBE

I just heard someone use the term "competence kink" when referring to why women are swooning over Jon Ossoff and Abdul El-Sayed. I hsve to say that's totally it. We're so damn sick of little boys who think dominating a woman makes you a man. It doesn't. It just makes you an asshołe.

One of the darkest red areas represents my hometown which is basically a house every 1000 feet and cows. I now live in NYC in a building with 1000 people.
Land does not vote, dude.
Neither do cows.

MSNOW: What is your message now to Jewish voters nationally and what you will do to protect them?
Abdul El-Sayed: I’m committed to Jewish safety, and we are united against discrimination. The U.S. spends billions to carry out genocide and apartheid against Palestinians. The genocide in Gaza with our complicity is continuing right now. Nobody wants to talk about that.

It’s a fair point. New York and Florida are basically the same, except for our 24/7 subway system, one of the nation’s largest public hospital systems, a higher minimum wage, stronger worker protections, universal 3-K, paid family leave, paid sick leave, and paid prenatal leave.

I keep telling you guys, far Upstate NY is one of the weirdest places in the United States.
Imagine a version of Limp Bizkit with fetal alcohol syndrome, snorting Percs and cracking racist jokes outside a ruined dairy barn full of rusted-out snowmobiles.
Stewart's donuts, rotten teeth, DUI's, unemployment scams, Seneca cigs. And an endless parade of obese state workers with Canadian accents riding UTV's with big "FUCK HOCHUL" stickers on the windshield, blaring country rap songs on their way to get poutine in a snowstorm in east bumblefuck.
That's the electorate here. That's our bread and butter. Those are Constantino's people.
People from elsewhere genuinely don't get it, what I'm saying here is not a parody, it's the real deal.
