A large percentage of men truly do not like women and a large percentage of worldwide fertility declines is just women finally not having to marry or have kids with people who fundamentally hate them.
@rawdogmillionar @BarneyFlames bro women are for having families with, if you want companionship get a friend lmfao.

I am genuinely baffled by opposition to immigration. How does immigration even affect the average US voter? Like I cannot think of one single thing about my life that an immigrant has made worse. Someone explain it to me like I’m five.

I want every married monogamous heterosexual man to understand something: 99% of the time your wife will have 99 dudes desperate to bang her for every one woman willing to bang you. Monogamy benefits you, first and foremost. Choose wisely. -A poly woman.
A childhood friend has 4 kids, and her husband asked for an open relationship earlier this year. Now, his logic was that she looks different, but y'all, so does he. It's been 25 years. Anyway, she agrees to the open marriage and he instantly has a girlfriend. She was heartbroken.

MasterCard made up with OnlyFans for one reason: Reporters refused to simply repeat evangelical groups’ lies this time and actually listened to sex workers and real trafficking victims. That’s what changed since Kristof got played and MasterCard and Visa dropped Pornhub.

@MsBlaireWhite Which is none. The vast majority of rapes go unreported. Police don’t investigate most of the reported rapes. Prosecutors don’t take most investigations to trial. And most trials don’t result in jail time. Hope that helps!.

OnlyFans wants to focus on becoming "mainstream" by moving away from adult content. Sex workers called it early. Patreon made the same choice. Platforms use swers then dump us once they no longer need us. Just another way in which our society is fundamentally sex-negative.
I've built quite a few web properties in my day, and building something like OF is the easy part. The HARD part is getting people to USE it, and #sexworkers did that for OF. AND. if OF does phase out adult, SWs can do it again on another platform.

Never trust anyone who wants to “abolish” sex work. Sex work will never go away. It can only be stigmatized and criminalized and made more dangerous and damaging as a result. If their solutions make us less safe they’re not honest actors.

A sincere thank you to the reporters who did their jobs this time. Here’s a good rule of thumb: When reporting on any issue privilege the perspectives of the people most likely to be negatively impacted. Focus on the marginalized, not the loudest or most “respectable” voices.

0 children have been sexually assaulted at a drag show. Literally thousands of children have been sexually assaulted at evangelical church camps. This isn’t and has never been about protecting children.
Earlier this year, the Southern Baptist Convention acknowledged they spent years protecting over 700 ministers and church workers who were credibly accused of sexual abuse. 2nd largest Christian denomination in the U.S—and nobody is discussing it.

This is such a boring take. Tech didn't ruin SF. SF sucks because our city government is incompetent and works on behalf of homeowners, full-stop. There's plenty of money in our coffers. We just don't have the political will to spend it on real problems.

MasterCard still plans to require porn sites (but no one else) to pre-screen all content before posting. This makes zero sense (Facebook has more CSAM than any porn site), will hurt sex workers, and is clearly about appeasing evangelicals. Keep the pressure on MasterCard to stop.

It might be faster and more efficient to simply build more homes.
I first applied for an affordable housing voucher in 1993. I finally got a call back in 2004 to tell me my son who just graduated high school couldn’t be on my lease. Today in 2022 I finally got a letter telling me I made it to the top of the waiting list. I have no words.

Scarcity rots the brain. In countries where housing is abundant, everyone can afford some kind of available home. No one says “affordable housing” because it’s redundant.

Sex work is like food service. Some people do it because they have to. Some people do it for the love. Some get paid in cocaine and immigration papers. Some get paid handsomely. Some get abused and some get treated well. Like most industries.
Sex work has never been just a mark of "desperation." Throughout history, it’s been a path to influence and financial power. Courtesans rivalled today’s top OF models in wealth, some even ascending to the royal court at Versailles and becoming royalty themselves (Agnès Sorel,.

Alabama the state has fewer homeless people than SF the city. Why? A trailer rents for $300/mo. The average SS check is $1500. Most homeless qualify for SS or disability. This is a political problem, not a money problem. Legalize trailers and you could end homelessness.
