Putnam acknowledged in an NYT interview that he depends on his wife for all his social connections! Yet, he still hasn't realized that women today are too f*ing tired and fed up to keep doing that work for men. Especially if men aren't helping with care at home.

What Putnam misses is that we're struggling to form community because we've been forced to DIY society. Without unions or a decent safety net, most Americans are caught in precarity and have to put so much energy into paid work and unpaid care for family that they have nothing left for community.

This is why capitalism and patriarchy go hand-in-hand.
And why "Lean In" only works for privileged women who can afford to outsource most or all of their caregiving labor, pushing it onto other women--often women of color--more vulnerable than them.

We should not start World War III because that is evil as fuck.
But also, we should not start World War III because we will lose it.

Do me a favor and ask the folks from project liberty to get back to me about what steps they are taking after they threw me out of their conference for speaking up when they invited Nancy Mace to keynote www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne...

like yeah loneliness is real. You know what is not going to help with that? A culture that valorizes misogyny, individualism, and stoicism, and scorns vulnerability as weakness.

Democratic leadership continues to be misled by a professional consultant class whose sole claim to relevance is that they "understand the game" - which means those consultants will be the very last people to understand and admit that the rules have been suspended, "the game" is no more.

The position that Democrats shouldn't "overreact" and instead focus on the 2026 midterms completely ignores the enormous damage that is being done on a daily basis. And it simply refuses to even consider the possibility that "politics-as-usual" is fundamentally inadequate as a response right now.

what the right is offering young men is the subjugation of women in lieu of any material gains for men. that, like many components of fascism, feels very immediately rewarding to some people. it’s not something you can easily replicate on the left.
