I’m thinking my article from 5 yrs ago might be more relevant now than ever…except women aren’t bearing the burden anymore. We’re kinda OVER IT.
I should pitch an updated version to @harpersbazaar.com.web.brid.gy

Men Have No Friends and Women Bear the Burden

Women are increasingly playing the role of best friend, lover, and on-call therapist to their male partners.

Working with mostly men my whole life, I have thoughts on this #DoorDash SA situation. Until men take their own SA seriously, they will never take ours seriously either. And they will continue to terrorize us to avoid it as well.

When there's no drinking water and all the billionaires have left us to live in their underground bunkers, at least you can rant to the sky about woke and how you're an alpha male.

One of the crazy things about the AI bubble bursting is that consumer sentiment toward AI has always leaned skeptical to outright negative but it’s an industry propped up by pure billionaire greed, sycophancy, and childish fantasy

I think about this paragraph from a 2019 Harper's Bazaar story by @melaniehamlett.bsky.social all the time

Screenshot of text (the final sentence about getting a call is highlighted): “Men don’t usually put the effort into maintaining friendships once they’re married,” Johnson says. “The guys at work are the only people other than me that my husband even talks to, so when some of these men retire, they expect their wives to be their source of entertainment and even get jealous that they have a life.” Johnson jokes that women her mom’s age seem to be waiting for their husbands to die so they can finally start their life. “I’ll get a call saying so-and-so kicked the bucket and sure enough, his widow is on a cruise around the world a week later with her girlfriends.”

This is the most beautiful story I’ve ever seen and I reeeeeeally wish it had gotten all the #Emmys it deserved. I swear I’ve never cried and laughed so hard in my life during a show. I’ll never be the same.

Also, @margaretcho.bsky.social steals every scene she’s in 🔥

Men who aren't unpacking or unlearning Patriarchy are exhausting.

Their ego is centred on how many women they can get away with tricking, coercing, and abusing, all for male approval and validation and Patriarchy points. 😮‍💨

@melaniehamlett.bsky.social is a genius. 💙❣️
