Oh, so I can use "bro" and "dude" as gender neutral terms and nobody bats an eye; but when I try to use "girl" or "ladies" as gender neutral terms suddenly every single man addressed feels the urge to remind me of their gender as if they think I had somehow forgotten??
women get about the same amount of degrees in history as men & dominate anthropology degrees. genders read history as a hobby at similar rates. while the types of history books read are slightly different. men think they're history buffs & women aren't is bc men are just louder
“And what I think is important to know is a lot of the increase in rape also comes from an expanded definition of what counts as rape, as well as survivors coming forward for acts that took place years prior,” Mamdani said. “And we are thankful for them coming forward, the courage and the bravery it takes, but just to provide New Yorkers with that context.”
In 2024 New York instituted a new law that, per the NYPost, "classifies rape as nonconsensual or forcibly compelled sexual intercourse, oral sexual conduct or anal sexual conduct after previously defining rape as only nonconsensual or forcibly compelled vaginal penetration by a penis."
So... New York (rightly!) expanded the definition of what counts as rape. More survivors (thankfully!) came forward. As a result, official rates of rape increased. So Mamdani was... right and everyone is just yelling about this in bad faith?
