Hoping to defuse the sex wars before my own children are old enough to get conscripted.

@GiveDirectly Can we only give pianos, or are there other, less expensive options for lethally heavy objects to drop?

@iWomansplainer Suggest contributing food to the value of the travel if she just hosts in her own home. I wouldn't go that far out of my way for a wedding, let alone someone's birthday.

@_nomadic_soul You know women don't have to do this though, right? If you don't want to do it, just flop on the sofa and say you're too tired, and eventually he'll do it.
Or did you like pretending to be a martyr for doing things you would do anyway?

[MerrilyThroughTheLoom @MerrilyThrough]

@Romy_Holland Because it lowers the trading value of sex, and they see a high price as being of civilisational importance. If there are sluts offering free sex, it makes cooperation and competition between men go wrong. Why produce excess value if you don't need it to invest in your woman?

@OtroAnimadorjpg The thing is, it's easy to have male friends who are just friends. All you have to do is be interesting and not expect more than their guy-friends from them. If they keep asking you out, you're doing it wrong.

@ConradBastable I'm not quibbling that, I'm only quibbling the term "luxury items" in the original text, because it is misleading. You will not impress anyone by owning a dryer in the UK, nor a dishwasher. They're not rare, even in poor households.

[MerrilyThroughTheLoom @MerrilyThrough]

@ConradBastable Economics may have an effect, but we're still talking about something most households have, even though a significant proportion of people also prefer air drying. It's not a luxury like truffles or a second home.

[MerrilyThroughTheLoom @MerrilyThrough]

@ConradBastable My grandma had one in the 50s before they got a phone line, they're not a luxury. Lots of people choose not to have them to avoid damaging clothes, but it's not like a couple of hundred pounds is beyond most families, people spend that on a birthday dinner!

@QuetzalPhoenix Are there many companies who insist on WFH though? If it's optional, it's all up-side. Personally I think WFH is the best thing we've done for family life in a century or more.

@Starl3ng814 So...we get rid of all the immigrants, and then they have nothing to hide behind, right? Everyone will see that the immigrants weren't the problem after all and will be very angry with the elites who tried to use them to distract us from their elite evil.

@JohnDoyle Honestly the root of a lot of inter-racial resentment is that everyone finds white people hotter (except some guys like oriental women, which makes the women from those countries less resentful unless they're unattractive).

[MerrilyThroughTheLoom @MerrilyThrough]

@QuetzalPhoenix I think it comes from a position of seeing travel as high-status, signalled by professing interest in foreign people and places and enjoyment of other cultures. Being attached to what one already has culturally is analogous to being attached to trinkets in the house (poor coded).

[MerrilyThroughTheLoom @MerrilyThrough]

@jared_lederman1 It's not hypocrisy, it makes sense to want to sleep with a woman who is attracted to many men and therefore likely to say "yes" if you approach. It does not make sense to want to be in a monogamous relationship with such a woman, because she has more options for cheating.

[MerrilyThroughTheLoom @MerrilyThrough]

@Romy_Holland Everyone else is worrying about the in-laws but I am here to suggest that your difficult child might just need force-feeding until he stops being picky. But not toast. I also bet he's gluten-sensitive and that's why he's so tetchy.

[MerrilyThroughTheLoom @MerrilyThrough]

@CovfefeAnon How dare a man who wants casual sex not realise that the woman agreeing to it with him doesn't really want it after all?
The demand for men to have perfect theory of mind while women can be tricked into misunderstanding their own wishes is such an incredible double standard.

[MerrilyThroughTheLoom @MerrilyThrough]

@nullrespecter The problem is making it the man's responsibility. We don't make male orgasm the woman's responsibility, he's expected to get off by his own efforts during intercourse.

[MerrilyThroughTheLoom @MerrilyThrough]

@TopherNOW Make a dating profile that shows what you do and are into. Be frank about your values (put off the women who don't share them). Make sure the kind of life you want to build is clear from the outset, and be unapologetic. Don't look for affirmation, look for alignment.
