When women exercise agency in their romantic lives by choosing to leave partners who no longer fulfill their desires, that choice is frequently a deadly one. The United States has a growing problem with femicide, a phenomenon that scholars had previously been more apt to attribute to lesser-developed countries than western industrial nations. A rise in femicide is the predictable outcome in a country hell-bent on turning back the clock on women’s rights, especially in the Deep South. Black femicide is at crisis levels with Black female victims dying at four times the rate of white women. So do not fall for the simple “mental health” narrative. Men who kill their wives and children are not just bad apples who needed a free month of BetterHelp.

This is so funny to me. We've suffered white commentators being OBSESSED for months with this man and the "manosphere" as a weather vane for whether white men were dumping the fascist. We have been subjected to his every utterance to detect which way the wind is blowing. There's your answer.

I’m going to admit that I hate it that businesses have shifted to texting for scheduling and other things. I text my friends, I want to *call* a business
I have a genuine question: how do they see out of the back of cyber trucks
