@ComicDaveSmith She has a point though, which was demonstrated during COVID when erstwhile libertarians were either silent on or supportive of the most egregious excesses of state power.
@PlisskenPatriot Male country singers also sing about women leaving them, often due to infidelity. The ones who were fucking killed by their wives obviously can't produce songs.
@ScottMGreer Unironically a good list, but it needs (6) celebrate American holidays in the American manner, and (7) do the inverse of everything for your old culture (stop speaking your native language, don't send remittances, stop watching non-American sports, etc)
@ClickingSeason The reason these lists of requirements cause so much consternation among men is they're always leaving the critical piece out: women want these things in men they're already attracted to, and that initial attraction can't be articulated
@Kaizerrev It's true that Vance will look worse when the media really turn their guns on him, but the DeSantis comparison is flawed because Vance will have Trump's endorsement.
@xwanyex Shapiro did this, too. "Why are y'all getting so worked up over an unrepresentative photo of a small section of students?" - man who wishes the photo was representative
@WomanDefiner Important to note: women in these events are allowed to wear much less revealing outfits that are still equally functional. They choose not to, and they admit it's because they know they look great, they take pride in it and want to show it off.
@AuronMacintyre On critical issues, the ones which really matter, the actual SCOTUS divide is not Conservative/Liberal, it's Men/Women. ACB and Roberts join women (on the court and everywhere) in being anxious, self-conscious and consensus-seeking.
@xwanyex Lean turkey isn't a great example because it's so satiating, you'll get uncomfortably full before you consume too many calories of it. But you're right there is a category of "healthy foods" which are easy to overeat: wheat bread, nuts/almonds, avocado, etc
Although both men and women would, in their ideal worlds, be in a relationship where the man is higher status and the woman looks up to him, status doesn't need to come into play here.
The most important aspect(s) of a relationship is that the woman respects the man, and the man loves the woman. Flowers and bread-baking are comparable in that they're evidence of that is desired from the other: love and emotional investment from the man ("I was thinking about you so I bought these flowers"), and respect from the woman ("I did this labor for your benefit")
@AuronMacintyre Birthright citizenship does actually seem like an issue that could motivate secession if red states begin denying birth certificates to illegal aliens.
@AuronMacintyre In a different timeline a version of Trump with better message discipline is hammering his success on immigration constantly, and receiving more grace/indifference on all the other shit
