'men need to be fine with [ebullient desire] being fake' ... right now- at this very moment- you can recognize the nightmare to which women are resigned if you'll *ever* recognize
Replying to @SometimesSoftly
It's also a fantasy of being wanted in a particularly loud and performative way. And fine, fantasies are what they are. You do need to tell your partner you want this, though, instead of expecting her to intuit it, and you need to be fine with it being kinda fake.

crucially, there are few ways- yet- to enact consequences on those who enact arbitrary consequences for speech i can think of only one asymmetric approach that isn't already leveraged by bad actors
Yes! Freedom of speech means freedom from consequences–legal *and* social.

colonize and cleanse
Men (straight) need to log off tbh they have nothing to gain from posting and women only despise them more from the exposure :( social media is female/gay coded and you only make things worse by participating

disobedience feels like oppression, to the jailer
lol actually yeah. teachers do, weirdly enough, have less institutional power than the young boys. when the parents treat them like princes who can’t do any wrong and the school refuses to deliver consequences, the teacher has no power to do anything

'what about romance novels are pornographic?' is evidently an uncomfortable question
Replying to @olivertraldi
What about romance novels equals pornography to you? Weird that men keep suggesting this. Also, I do play video games! Because again my interests and tastes don’t exist on a made up gender binary.

'transition' is probably good, right i've been informed that 'transitioning' away from parents is always warranted
2yo goes to Montessori a few days a week and for several months he's been very unhappy about the drop-off I did a lot of checking and I'm 99.9% sure it's just the transition that he hates but i may have solved it today with mittens guy just wanted some gear ig?

most culture can just go we could burn schulz's sick-making celebration of betrayal and self-betrayal we have that capacity
The last 3 years of the Peanuts comic before Charles Schulz died is the most depressing piece of literature ever crafted. A harrowing look at incoming mortality. A gradual darkness around the corners of your eyes swallowing more n more of the light. Atrophy calls. Finality rings.

universities might have to provide more value than gatekeeping can't imagine what an 'education' institution might provide beyond credentials
A university student submitted her 40-page research paper, only for her professor to accuse her of using AI after a detection tool flagged 95% of it as AI-generated. She immediately produced a screen recording showing herself writing the entire paper from a blank document....
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This appears to be a fictional anecdote from an X account that identifies itself as a "Story Teller" and posts similar made-up stories in the same style. No independent sources document this specific incident. x.com/dekim_Kalvino/… educationtimes.com/learning/a-pro… eu.36kr.com/en/p/387391182…
