@emilykmay You may also like this! It’s a discussion of a paper exploring this idea more deeply - that directly saying “no” is actually strongly socially disfavored and men’s exploitation of this

@emilykmay Sex is not something that can be “withheld.” It’s not something one gives to another, it is a mutual activity two people should engage in enthusiastically.
Third places mostly aren’t disappearing, it’s just the ones that demand something of you and thereby create strong community connections (churches, social organizations, etc). There’s more and better coffee shops, bike trails, and restaurants than at any point in American history
My takeaway from that speech is that we are headed down the road of Trump trying to outright rig elections. It probably won't work, but he's going for it.
So military troops under the direct control of Trump and Hegseth will be on the streets of our nation’s capital for the rest of Trump’s term. The rationale—they’re here to help with a crime emergency—is laughable. But of course the real reason is ominous.

@JessPected Yeah, and ultimately I agree much more than I disagree with you. I’m splitting hairs a bit but I genuinely have a lot of respect for your opinion, your tweets are always on point.
@warrbo@ASFleischman You believe many women lie about rape (or would lie about rape if we allowed it), at least be honest with your painfully transparent beliefs
@warrbo@ASFleischman You’ve made numerous veiled suggestions about all the reasons we shouldn’t believe rape victims, and when I respond to them you pretend you never said that. It’s very cowardly and dishonest.
@warrbo@ASFleischman But that is entirely inconsistent with your original suggestion that we should automatically assume all rape allegations against senators are likely false
@warrbo@ASFleischman You suggest that there is some slight possibility that someone would persist in a false allegation, despite all the massive disincentives? I don’t disagree.
