    Saw a headline that said "STIs are on the rise in the US. A pill taken after sex could help slow them down."

    But when clicking on the article, the opening sentence is, "As rates of sexually transmitted infections continue to skyrocket across the United States, a growing number of physicians are prescribing a commonly used antibiotic as a way to prevent chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis infections in gay and bisexual men and transgender women."

    So immediately I'm wondering, "Is this reported rise only being seen amongst men or is it just men that have a readily available medical option?"

    Still not entirely sure. Women are not mentioned in the entire article. But San Francisco is. A bunch of times.

    So is this an everyone everywhere problem? Or is this a "men in San Francisco" problem? 🤔

    Apparently the Head Canadian is getting divorced. But how long will Trudeau even be around? I feel like for as long as I've acknowledged Canada as a real place, he's been the Head Canadian. Do y'all have elections or does the King of England mail someone to you?

    @LaylaAlexandrovna I wonder what would happen if a US president got divorced. I feel like in the US it's considered futile to run for a high office if you don't have the perfect family Christmas card. Emphasis on Christmas. XD

    Trump, as always, is an outlier.

    @Fullycaffeinated @LaylaAlexandrovna Impressive. I think every time I'm on tour in Canada there will be some anti-Trudeau demonstration like a giant banner being waved over the side of an overpass. So while I've never known the details, I've just gotten the vibe that he's not popular. I even asked our local bus driver once what people were mad about. He just said "too many things to choose from." XD

    @Fullycaffeinated @LaylaAlexandrovna That ruined my headcanon of him being some poor poli-sci dweeb who just wants everyone to smile yet only gets yelled at everywhere he goes because he's never had any friends.

    Got my backpack searched when leaving Walmart today because I guess it was too suspicious that my receipt specifying that I'd only purchased a belt along with me holding a belt in my hand was just that unusual. Just cause your store has everything doesn't mean I need everything right at this very moment. XD

    But oh well. I know theft is a big problem.

    Has anyone ever died of blood loss during their period? Cause if not, I think I'm getting there. If someone punched me in the face right now and my nose started bleeding, I think I'd be down for the count. I don't even know my blood type. I'd have nothing to tell the hospital...

    @LostInCalifornia The funny thing is that any feminist messages in that Barbie movie were like... SO lightweight and SO basic born yesterday feminist idea 101 that it driving dudes off a cliff is... expected but no less amusing.

    In large college lectures, you could see many people using class time to swipe through Tinder. I wonder what others thought of me using that time to scroll through job listings. Work-life balance? Is work not life? 🥳

    @Fenuin There is a TIM Barbie in the film so maybe that's why. Personally I just assumed he'd be presented as a "normal Barbie" rather than "Barbie with a dick" since none of those dolls have a real anatomy lol.

    @Fenuin Gendies typically just refers to the trans cult.

    Null is short for nullification. So if you had a nullification surgery, the goal is to legit look like a Barbie between the legs. So having nothing. Doesn't really work out like that but that's the goal.

    Another iteration of this I just heard was, "Lots of people won't like this because sure they talk about - and use the word - 'patriarchy,' but then they go on to specifically criticize men!" 🤡

    And honestly, that's why I typically avoid using words that make things vague (just by virtue of how they've been used especially in libfem-associated mental gymnastics), primarily patriarchy, femininity, and masculinity. Sure the people who usually wouldn't listen to me still won't listen to me. But at least there won't be ambiguity as to what I'm talking about.

    @Piss_Ant Barbie will be a warmup lap for me. 2 hour movie! Oppenheimer clocks in at 3 hours because some people can't control themselves.

    So the reviews for the Barbie movie from the bros on YouTube I usually watch for nerd things are pretty much, "I was looking forward to this but the main message is feminism so it's not for me." 😂

    I guess I'll see what the message of the movie /actually/ is this Saturday.

    There's always a lot of talk about women, girls, and body image. A lot of this talk, in its presentation and focus, puzzles me.

    But as a question for the room: What played the biggest role in your life when it comes to your own sense of body image? And if you ever classified there being an "issue" with your own sense of body image, what helped (or would help) to improve it? I’ll start with an example.

    The primary shaper of my body image was athletics. To be able to go to a place each day to both push and control my body more than the day prior translating to improvement in competitions was a source of pride. Beauty was not a thing that was readily on my mind for most of my childhood. Ability, however, was. I think my self-esteem was at its highest after the most exhausting sports games in which I or my team ended up victorious… or at the very least put up an admirable fight. And it was at my lowest when I busted my knee and couldn’t play any sports for a year. But even the recovery process had its own clear goals and milestones so I wouldn't classify that as being a "body image issue."

    The secondary shaper of my body image was an early instance of exposure to pornographic material at the age of twelve. It terrified me that my natural body which - up until that point - I had no issues with, was supposedly designed for penetration by unstoppable outside forces. I had no prior knowledge or even basic conceptualization of genitalia or the reproductive process. I wasn’t even fully certain that I was reading about sex. That really was my first notable instance of seeing my body not through my own eyes and my own desires, but through the eyes and desires of others. It was terrifying and remains as such to this day.

    These primary and secondary shapers came to a head in what was supposed to be a fun boys vs. girls lacrosse game at the start of high school. As an angsty teenager, I was uncertain about cautious about most things, but the one thing that I was certain and confident about was that I was a very good lacrosse player. I hadn’t been benched during a game since I fully grasped what the rules were and even when running on fumes I was still faster than most of the competition.

    The coaches heavily modified the rules so the girls at least had a chance of getting some points in against the boys. But for an hour I was still effortlessly outmaneuvered by boys a head taller than me who weren’t breaking a sweat, like a bicycle vs. a motorcycle. And in the wake of that, I went into a bit of a severe if temporary panic that just translated to me being very quiet.

    I think the biggest asset to finding complete comfort in my own body would be... knowing how to beat the crap out of people. 😂

    But I think general strength and endurance training is the most realistic substitute. Becoming capable of something today that I could not do as well yesterday.

    In other words, back to basics.

    This new genre of journalism called “the crisis of men” always leans on feminism “going too far” then the articles are like “men are joining gangs, going to jail, getting killed, and performing poorly in school!”

    Ah. Ok. Are women recruiting men into gangs? Telling them to commit crimes? Murdering them? Denying them access to education?

    Then they slip in “And women aren’t having sex with them!”

    Ah. Ok. So that’s the issue. Then various feminists, coincidentally, are now saying an array of sexual services for men are empowering, actually.

    🧐
