Over the last 3 years, I interviewed 100+ people under 30 to understand how #MeToo, the fall of Roe v. Wade, the rise of social media and more have changed their sex lives. THE SECOND COMING: Sex and the Next Generation’s Fight Over Its Future is now out in the world. Buy it at your local bookstore.
How fascinating that THIS is the breaking point for the Trump administration and not the many, many men who say that they were sexually abused within the Boy Scouts
Hegseth is very very terrified, deep deep down of something to do with maleness www.npr.org/2025/11/25/n...
U.S. ready to cut support to Scouts, accusing them of attacking 'boy-friendly spaces'
Documents show the U.S. military is planning to sever all ties with the organization formerly known as the Boy Scouts.

BREAKING: Republicans pass bill to condemn Socialism, 285-98. 86 House Democrats voted yes, further demonstrating that we have two right-wing parties in America. 2 members voted Present, and 47 members of the House did not vote (20 R and 27 D).

So if Olivia is 32 now, broke up with Lizza last year, was together with him for a decade, and then was living with you for 4+ years before that, how old was she when you moved her out of her (presumably parents’) house in the suburbs to live with you?
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?

Important to understand that sexual violence is political violence, enacted specifically to enforce class, race, and, yes, gender hierarchies.
I sometimes feel like they don’t want to end poverty or reduce inequality because they believe they’re entitled to a class of people they can prey upon

The state declined the money "to remain compliant with current Idaho laws concerning parental rights and counseling on pregnancy options.” The law in question is SB 1329, which requires parental consent for healthcare and is also limiting young people's access to suicide hotlines, as Kelcie notes
SCOOP: Idaho’s health department quietly declined the entirety of its annual $1.5 million federal Title X funding in April, leaving patients statewide without any access to the family planning program.

Two crying women have begged lawmakers not to pass the bill and talked about struggling to end wanted pregnancies in SC (which bans abortion past 6 weeks).
