Ben Shapiro offered to donate ten thousand dollars to the campaign of democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is currently running as Representative for candidate for NY's 14th district, if she would come on his show and debate him, after she boasted that Republicans were afraid to discuss or debate the issues with her.
Rather than accept or decline the challenge, Ocasio-Cortez simply 'idioted' her way out of any chance she had of winning the election, by likening Shapiro's challenge to catcalling.
Regrettably, Shapiro also demonstrated bad faith by insisting that Ocasio-Cortez called him a "sexist catcaller," which she didn't actually do.

True. It is implied, tho. Now, if Shapiro comes out as a transwoman lesbian...heads will explode.

Sweet Jesus! If I wanted to date a dude, I'd date a dude. And if I wanted to date a dude, I probably wouldn't be terribly interested in a dude with boobs proclaiming that she's a woman.

I love that. Note also the first two comments.
And note also, and recall that by the time he made a movie with Cruise (The Firm, 1993), Wil had been playing so many nice guys that he was fucking terrifying as a heavy. 30+ age difference/overweight/whatever, it was brilliantly intimidating casting.

Not trying to harsh anyone's mellow. My own twitter feed... The people I follow and the things they sat on Twitter have meant as much to me as any intellectual source in the last ten years, maybe twenty. Throw in Andreesen's faves and there's no contender.
But even in my own superbly-attuned heart, there's this softly pulsing hope when pacing the timeline that this or that voice will deliver the decisive rhetorical blow in less than 240/280 characters, ending the argument for all right-thinking peoples until the end of time.
After this many years we should recognize this hope as foolish.
In other words, not all that regrettable, even if you're on Shapiro's side. He should have been tidier, but even then, he perhaps ought not have been that into it.

You can call it discrimination or transphobia all you want, but the heart wants what it wants and dating is not like employment or housing where plumbing is (generally) unrelated to performance. At some point, plumbing integral to dating.

I wouldn't count her out. This is all good publicity for her, and it's publicity that counts. Comments like this were repeatedly made about Trump before he was president. She could well be president herself one day.

Apparently, this is bad -
"Young men are increasingly obsessed with self-discipline and self-improvement and the self all round. Vanity is as old as humanity, of course, as is self-restraint. But the new narcissism is about being vain and virtuous at the same time.
Young men are drinking less alcohol, smoking less and, oddly, having less sex, perhaps because sex involves focusing on someone else. Traditional masculine pursuits are being abandoned in favour of more ethical ones. Pubs are closing down and gyms are opening up. ‘Fitness’ and ‘wellness’ are the buzzwords, and personal trainers are the new gurus, encouraging their diligent clients to be in good shape"

Snoopy, I had to laugh at this line in that article:
"Pritchard said she hoped the editorials would make an impression on Americans."
Yes, a coordinated attack from the press on Trump will make an impression; just not the one they are hoping for.
I hope they do it - give Trump another 4 years.

The editor-in-chief of @TheVerge suggests that Fox News be taken off the air.
The end game for progressives is to de-platform every conservative voice.
Voluntarily, and through the free market, of course.
