and if I say this is how we decenter marriage: by accepting family and care structures that are not built around romantic/hetero/sexual relationships and striving to enable legal rights + benefit sharing beyond marriage
its incredibly obvious that this is what he was talking about even if you see just a short out of context quote 😭😭 you'd need to be a not particularly smart individual to interpret it in a bad way....
“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?

spotify has more songs than tidal and their fun little wrapped at the end of the year but tidal was endlessly better at suggesting music and making personalized playlists....
tidal has an EXCELLENT algorithm for recommending songs based on what you usually listen to or based on a specific song, at least thats what it was like back when I used tidal, now I use spotify and their algorithm is so fucking USELESSSSS😭😭😭😭
