But “they” is okay too — Despite the fact lots of older folks get their undergarments in a wad over pronouns, I’ve watched a lot of my Gen X and Boomer friends look on in absolute awe over the gender boundaries Gen Z is annihilating. In fact, more than one of my Gen X and Boomer…

And I’m not even kidding — I don’t like writing these things. I swear I don’t. But lately I’ve noticed an incredible anxiety among American men about being falsely accused of rape and having their lives “ruined.” They talk about it in a panic, as if thousands and thousands of innocent men are locked up in…

Just stop it — Many straight men in this country feel as though they’re under attack lately. They’re not, but when you’re not accustomed to constant criticism, it can feel that way. These guys are getting angrier and angrier, and many of them assert today’s women are choosier and more into playing games than…

And it’s asinine to say it is — One of the most frustrating arguments (to me anyway) in the arsenal of the forced-birther is their assertation that abortion is murder. To me, and people who think the way I do, this is nonsense on its face, and not even worth debating. Unfortunately, we’re being forced to debate this…

I refuse to call it X — At first, was a little difficult to figure out what the heck it is Elon Musk is doing and has done to Twitter, watching him make terrible decision after terrible decision about the company. He’s alienated advertisers, driven away legitimate journalists and celebrities who used to generate billions of dollars…

Taking away people’s rights is the ultimate insult — It’s always funny to me when forced birthers accuse reproductive rights activists of being “uncivil.” They aren’t just talking about our views on abortion when they say that. Most, but not all, of them are religious extremists. If you dare utter a curse word in their presence they’ll let you…

The disgust is in the details — As white Americans, we understand racism toward Black Americans exists, whether or not we want to admit it out loud or even to ourselves. White people are taught we’re “superior” a multitude of ways — by erasing minority Americans’ accomplishments, by changing history, and even by citing our unfair advantages…

With Roe V. Wade gone, many organizations are trying to ease the cost of abortion access — When Roe Vs. Wade was overturned, I felt like many people: Sad. Angry. Shocked. Betrayed. But there was one aspect of it that horrified me more than anything, and that was the knowledge that it would affect hundreds and hundreds of little girls who are raped and impregnated in the…

But your extremist politics is breaking my heart — If you haven’t yet heard, on Friday, August 10, small-town cops raided a small-town newspaper office — The Marion County Record — the publisher’s home, and even reporters’ homes in Marion, Kansas. Marion is a teeny town of only 1,900 people. The cops took all of the paper’s computers and…
