The reason so many men subscribe to the religion of gender is because without it, they'd have to actually prove their merit. Much easier to say "the bible said i should lead" than to actually be qualified to lead.

I never cease to be amazed at how hateful they are. Carrying around that much hate alters your soul.

If you collect tunes, there's a Discogs vendor (wait, hear me out) called #PhiladelphiaMusic with literally hundreds of thousands of albums. $6 flat-fee shipping whether you order 1 or 1000 albums, and for CDs it's only $5 for as many as you can fit in your cart. Good packing too, check 'em out!

I was unaware of the Nazi symbolism and the 8s. I was suspicious when she stayed quiet when her people were going after Kelce's ex.

I hate to jump to conclusions but it's either saavy marketing or total incompetence.

When you realize some men just don't like women, some of this behavior makes sense.

Not seeing racism doesn't mean it doesn't exist. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Racism is never hidden.

Amanda Marcotte @amandamarcotte.bsky.social · 11h

My parents' generation was super racist, but they took pains to hide it from us. So a lot of young conservatives in the 90s and early aughts were earnest small government and/or evangelical types.

As I said, the overt racists and radicals had to form their own orgs.
