There seems to be a whole group of men who believe they will have more sex under fascism.

But let me clear something up for you. Fascism doesn’t promise more sex. It promises more rape.

If that’s the path you’re taking to get sexual access to women, then you’re on the path of becoming a rapist.

Columbia University has handed over its undergraduate admissions process to Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, who will now decide at their sole discretion whether the university has admitted enough white people. It's no longer an independent institution.

I can’t stop thinking about how the Access Hollywood tape came out before the election even happened, yet suddenly we have people concerned that the President might have lied about being a sexual predator who were totally fine with it when he told the truth about being a sexual predator

very grim

Made a post about the science of attachment and how that helps you make and keep friends as an adult. The book is Platonic by Marisa Franco.

I wish more Epstein files coverage was focused on the cover up.

Because we already know Trump is a rapist. We have known for years. The real story is in his power to protect himself and other abusive men.

Is compersion an innate orientation—or something we learn? 🤔

Can something be both innate and developed? Maybe compersion—like desire—is an orientation we grow into.

I've started a substack. My first post is on compersion as an orientation. Here are some highlights, and you can read the rest at shaundmiller.substack.com

📖Just wrapped up the research of compersion by @drmariethouin

Did you know there are actually TWO distinct types of compersion? One is like an attitude, an ethical foundation even when the feelings aren’t there, while the other is like the joyous feeling and physical sensation of endorphin rush.

Martin Luther King Jr. is well-known for fighting for Civil Rights, bus boycotts, the “I Have a Dream” speech, and non-violent protest. But in his later life, he extended his philosophy toward global justice and interconnected his criticism of poverty to the problem of fighting in Vietnam.

WHO comments on United States announcement of intent to withdraw

The World Health Organization regrets the announcement that the United States of America intends to withdraw from the Organization.
WHO plays a crucial role in protecting the health and security of the world’s people, including Americans, by addressing the root causes of disease, building stronger health systems, and detecting, preventing and responding to health emergencies, including disease outbreaks, often in dangerous places where others cannot go.

The United States was a founding member of WHO in 1948 and has participated in shaping and governing WHO’s work ever since, alongside 193 other Member States, including through its active participation in the World Health Assembly and Executive Board. For over seven decades, WHO and the USA have saved countless lives and protected Americans and all people from health threats. Together, we ended smallpox, and together we have brought polio to the brink of eradication. American institutions have contributed to and benefited from membership in WHO.

With the participation of the United States and other Member States, WHO has over the past 7 years implemented the largest set of reforms in its history, to transform our accountability, cost-effectiveness, and impact in countries. This work continues.

We hope the United States will reconsider and we look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue to maintain the partnership between the USA and WHO, for the benefit of the health and well-being of millions of people around the globe.

Well it’s for a book review rather than an article.

What are some good scholarly journals that would be interested in doing a book review on the philosophy of sex education? It would also touch upon moral philosophy, gender studies, public policy, public health, and psychology.
