He’s sexualizing her as a form of degradation and punishment for her endorsement of Harris. It is retaliatory sexual harassment.

infuriating to see men suggesting that the purpose of older women is to assist in raising children when their true purpose is to solve crimes.

Our statement on... whatever that was
Statement on Donald Trump's Interview with Elon Musk Donald Trump's extremism and dangerous Project 2025 agenda is a feature not a glitch of his campaign, which was on full display for those unlucky enough to listen in tonight during whatever that was on X.com. Trump's entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself - self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024.

One thing I think we're going to see more post-Dobbs (and mid-Freud revival!) is more and more pro-natalist arguments that seek to portray (women's) childlessness as immature, irresponsible, or pathological ... but coming from putative "progressives."

The birth rate has fallen in the US because women have more rights and opportunities—this is always why birth rates fall. It is creepy that the organs of elite consensus are all agreeing that this trend has to be reversed.

The BBC’s framing of population decline as ‘disastrous’ is as problematic as its decision to invite a market researcher to pontificate about it.

Utterly disgraceful of @BBCHARDtalk to platform (bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct5sz…) a non-credentialed "data scientist" Stephen Shaw of "Birthgap" to sell his unscientific, misogynistic, & #pronatalist propaganda. Seriously, @BBC? No fact-checking? birthgapfacts.org/
