The new youth poll released by Harvard Kennedy School's Institute of Politics finds a "pronounced" gap between the political views of young men and young women. Among young men, Biden's lead is six points; among young women, it's 33 points.

If young American men see Donald Trump as a role model for a masculinity they want to emulate and promote, then I wonder what kind of society they envisage building for themselves and everyone else.

Absolutely heartbreaking but urgently important letter to an unborn daughter on the crisis men are falling into and the fallout that follows.

I was on a date once and the guy said something about his soda being served with a straw and can't they see he's a man.. I was all 'huh? but you also do have lips, so...?' and he said that sucking on a straw was like sucking dick.

So I asked him what sucking on his spaghetti was like, because isn't that like sucking on a bunch of dicks?

The rest of the meal consisted of him eating by tilting his head back and very carefully shaking spaghetti off his fork into his mouth
in this really awkward way that involved no sucking motion... BUT NOW HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS GIVING SOMEONE A HAND JOB SO THEY'D CUM ON HIS TONGUE!

It was fucking hilarious to watch.
