*Hard out there for a man.

The author is John Paul Brammer, from his piece “The Most Unlovable Man in New York City.”

I was shaking my head at the Helen Keller - Amelia Earhart confusion until I double checked something.

I was getting Helen Keller confused with Anne Frank…

Wait, she slept with Helen Keller and Amelia Earhart?

Nice.

I’m not sleeping with stupid. I don’t care what they look like. Gross. Such a turnoff.

There actually was a stunt where they let Helen Keller ‘fly’ a plane (hold the stick while they were already in the air with the pilots monitoring).

The conspiracy that she wasn’t actually blind or deaf is frustratingly common among people under 30, who I assume have all picked it up from TikTok.

I don’t think the novella one is that bad

In the current typhoon of men behaving badly in the US and the ongoing response and safety movements often advocating romantic abstinence, sometimes the observation is made that not every woman — even those pledged to the movement — is on the same page.

And then there’s the abstinence-until-marriage doctrine of white Christian nationalists, in which young women pledge to preserve their virginity until their one-and-only trad-minded husband puts a ring on it. (Young men might take a similar pledge, but they’re not held to it and in fact are pressured to get some early experience. Double standards and inconsistent value systems and all that.) Yet, a conspicuous fraction of these (sometimes underage) young women overestimate their willpower, frequently contributing to the disproportionate rate of teen pregnancy in school districts that have committed to abstinence-only sex-ed.

Then there’s the women’s magazine I remember reading during the COVID-19 lockdown, that asked readers to write in their stories when they needed the d so badly they risked infection by a stranger to get it. There were a lot of confessional replies.

And all this is to say, sometimes a girl has needs.

This doesn’t really seem like a gender thing, I’ve slept with my share of dumb women.

Your body, your choice.

This is basically Ron DeSantis and his pronunciation of “Thai” food. It’s gross. Don’t sleep with someone like that.

God, I wish I was a moron.

Lowkey them both saying that is so sexy to me

I’m also a gay guy and not a woman so idk if that’s a factor

I’m convinced that a lot of teen girls who are now identifying as trans or non binary are really just trying to get the stupid boys to leave them alone.
