In my last serious relationship, I had both the benefit of exploring my toxic behavior patterns and the burden of being with a partner who refused to do the same. Our relationship started to shift when, during the height of an argument, I grew frustrated when my attempts at “helping” him solve a problem were being ignored. He followed up, like he often did, by screaming at the top of his lungs. Then he said something that snatched the movement from my body: “I’m not your project or something you can control.”
 

Но есть и надежда.

I lost my virginity at 37

Five years ago I wrote an essay for Salon about being a 33-year-old virgin. At the time, a man who identified as an incel had murdered several people. I saw lots of negative press about men who have not had sex, so I wrote about how not having sex is not weird, and that if you haven’t met the right one, to not let bitterness and anger overtake you.

The article did nothing to really dissuade the incel movement. It’s bigger than ever. And in some circles the man who murdered those people has been elevated as a saint. Five years later, I am here to tell you I was wrong.

Just do it.

Sex is not a big deal.
 

 

Terry Smith, a visiting professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law, offers a different response in his new book, "Whitelash: Unmasking White Grievance at the Ballot Box." Rather than excuse racist voters or try to figure out how to live with their choices, he argues that racist voting is not just immoral, but illegal. The government, Smith says, has the ability, and the responsibility, to address it.

TLDR – ничего неожиданного, просто голосовать за Трампа, оказывается, незаконно. Потому что он расист, как известно любой дзиге: обозвал всех мексиканцев насильниками и поддержал расистов в Шарлоттсвилле, непреложные факты. Кроме того, он вообще такой плохой, что голосовать за него можно только из расистских соображений, какие еще требуются доказательства.

Стало быть, все голоса, поданные за Трампа, являются расистскими и подлежат отмене. Как их отменить, не вполне ясно, надо еще придумывать; а пока придумываем, можно наворотить много разной другой херни, очень нужной демократам – никаких ID, например, и с герримандерингом разобраться, и еще хорошо бы Сенат выбирать иначе, по округам, чтобы туда больше демократов попало.

Красивое предложение, но все-таки гарвардская идея про нарезку ста двадцати семи дополнительных штатов из округа Колумбия куда круче.

NEWTON, MASS. (WHDH) – An outraged man traveling on the Mass. Pike stopped his car Friday morning to rip down a sign hanging from a highway overpass in Newton that read “It’s OK to be white.”

Thousands of commuters on the busy highway got a glimpse of the large white banner that featured bold black lettering, prompting a response from the Anti-Defamation League of New England.

“It’s pretty disappointing to see people in Massachusetts using a platform like that to disseminate a message that excludes people and targets people,” said Robert Trestan, Executive Director of the ADL’s Boston office.

DANBURY, CT (WFSB) — The president of a Connecticut university said hate-filled flyers were randomly distributed throughout campus on Thursday night.

Western Connecticut State University President John Clark said he is shocked and saddened about the flyers and inscriptions found on university property.

The flyers had "It’s Okay to be white" written on them, according to WCSU officials.

An investigation is underway involving Danbury police, CT State Police, and the FBI, where surveillance footage will be reviewed.

Interviews with anyone who may have witnessed the behavior will also take place.

“Have no doubt that we are treating this as an attack on our university community and making every effort to see that those responsible are caught and properly punished. I am fully committed to the absolutely necessary goal this does not happen again. We must be ever vigilant to protect our university against these hateful attacks,” Clark said in a letter.
