@englishchick @jk_rowling @JessDeWahls No doubt. But the Scots let 16 year olds vote. They need to pick a lane on when "adult" starts.

@gedreddy6ft3 @the_dunners @GabbyLogan It's the assumption that she's an "assistant" which springs from sexism.

@CFoxyFox5 @ask_aubry Yep. "Steve was really quiet at school and got good grades" is not going to put women off. There's something else here he's not mentioned. A big something. And it isn't "boring".

Stop posting things to "cleanse" my timeline. I've spent years building up this layer of filth. It's like a well seasoned pan at this point.

Yes it's very possible for a woman to post older pics on insta and not announce her pregnancy til it's well advanced.
Actual human females. Question:. Is this possible? One minute it seemed the world greatest 400m runner Shaunae Miller-Uibo was very much not pregnant then suddenly she was somewhere near full-term. ???

@circuspunk @AITA_reddit especially since he thinks volunteering at a youth group is a "punishment". So, you're homophobic? I'll force you to spend every week hanging out with gay teens. That'll learn you.

Look, you just fold the fitted sheet however you can, fold the flat sheet, then put them both INSIDE the pillowcase. The whole set is together, and your linen shelf is a neat stack of sheet-pillows. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Tell me you're an incel without telling me. .
@GodandtheBear The vagina (where the penis thrusts into) is not sensitive to touch. It is part of the birth canal. A baby's head passes down it during childbirth. So a woman cannot feel a penis no matter what size. You are talking about emotional rewards. You have said nothing of eroticism.

It is odd. There truly seem to be people who think twitter's moderation policies hitherto have been ok. That none of the bans have been capricious or unfair. But that NOW it's somehow going to go bad.
Academic Twitter having a meltdown over Elon closing the deal tells you all you need to know about the state of the social sciences in the Academy.

@AITA_reddit This guy is the works. Notice the frontloading of "I donate to this school!". And making kids volunteer at a group for the community they've insulted, like marginalised groups are props for a spoiled kid's "learning experience", is nauseating.

So a creepy politician has been sexual harassing a child via text. The politician's colleagues are now on twitter saying their thoughts are with him at this "difficult time". That their first instinct is to care about the predator's feelings is disgusting.

@HistoryBoomer It's the ultimate in privilege to act like crime doesn't matter because either you're unlikely to be affected, or you can afford it if you are (recalling an actor saying his car getting broken into was nbd!!).

Really looking forward to her next book, on how British elections work.
Disturbing that 1) Exit votes may announced before all votes counted, b) BBC, overseen by the current gov't, has a privileged position in announcing un-indendendently-verifiable results. Respectfully, this process is very un-transparent, unverifiable.

@BeezyManzell @DavidZipper more relevant to NY is that I'd guess 80% of the offenders have some kind of police or city placard (legitimately or not), so they don't get ticketed anyway.

Even if you think "cancel culture" isn't real, it's simply a manifestation of human society's longstanding practices of shunning and shaming those who fall afoul of various codes.

@carolinmcmillan @janeclarejones Women are a net burden on society, consuming far more than they contribute to every single aspect of the economy. Even when women do enter a profession or industry the result is always to make it more burdensome, unpracticed and ineffective.
