despite what the tweet says, the article has nothing at all to do with Moore. it's just a straight-up "but what about :qq:false rape accusations:qq: against those poor defenseless powerful men" piece, about a third of which is spent defending Al Franken and openly dismissing the accusations against him as fabrications made up by the far right and radical feminists

their opinion pages twitter loves to tweet out the same article thirty times under a different subtitle to trick people into clicking on it again. iirc the original author's quote is something like "maybe we shouldn't believe women? :thunk:"

the toadie new york times posted:

By 2002, I was also starting to clash with the editors over our coverage of the Bush administration’s claims about pre-war intelligence on Iraq. My stories raising questions about the intelligence, particularly the administration’s claims of a link between Iraq and Al Qaeda, were being cut, buried, or held out of the paper altogether.

One of the few stories I managed to get on the front page cast doubt on reports that an Iraqi intelligence officer had met with 9/11 plotter Mohamed Atta in Prague before the attacks on New York and Washington. But Doug Frantz, then the investigations editor in New York, felt that he had to sneak it onto Page 1. “Given the atmosphere among the senior editors at The Times, I was concerned that the story would not make it to page 1 on a day when everyone was convened around the table,” Frantz emailed me recently. “So I decided that it was too important to appear inside the paper and went ahead and offered it on a Sunday, a day when the senior editors weren’t often involved in the discussion.”

Then-Executive Editor Howell Raines was believed by many at the paper to prefer stories that supported the case for war. But Raines now says he was not pro-war, and that he did not object to putting my Prague story on the front page. “I never told anyone at any level on the Times that I wanted stories that supported the war,” he told me in an email.

Meanwhile, Judy Miller, an intense reporter who was based in New York but had sources at the highest levels of the Bush administration, was writing story after story that seemed to document the existence of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction. Her stories were helping to set the political agenda in Washington.

Miller and I were friends — in fact, I was probably one of her closest friends in the Washington bureau at the time. In the year before 9/11, Miller worked on a remarkable series of stories about Al Qaeda that offered clear warnings about its new power and intent. In the months after 9/11, she and I both scrambled to document Al Qaeda’s role in the attacks and the counterterrorism response by the United States. We were both part of a team that won the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting for our coverage of terrorism and 9/11.

But in the months leading up to the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, while Miller and other Times reporters were landing a string of big stories that dazzled the editors, I was getting frustrated that so few of my sources in the intelligence community were willing to talk to me about what they thought of the Bush administration’s case for war. I kept hearing quiet complaints that the White House was pressuring CIA analysts to cook the books and deliver intelligence reports that followed the party line on Iraq. But when I pressed, few were willing to provide specifics. Intermediaries would sometimes tell me that they were receiving anguished calls from CIA analysts, but when I asked to talk to them, they refused.

After weeks of reporting in late 2002 and early 2003, I was able to get enough material to start writing stories that revealed that intelligence analysts were skeptical of the Bush administration’s evidence for going to war, particularly the administration’s assertions that there were links between Saddam’s regime and Al Qaeda.

But after I filed the first story, it sat in the Times computer system for days, then weeks, untouched by editors. I asked several editors about the story’s status, but no one knew.

Finally, the story ran, but it was badly cut and buried deep inside the paper. I wrote another one, and the same thing happened. I tried to write more, but I started to get the message. It seemed to me that the Times didn’t want these stories.

What angered me most was that while they were burying my skeptical stories, the editors were not only giving banner headlines to stories asserting that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, they were also demanding that I help match stories from other publications about Iraq’s purported WMD programs. I grew so sick of this that when the Washington Post reported that Iraq had turned over nerve gas to terrorists, I refused to try to match the story. One mid-level editor in the Washington bureau yelled at me for my refusal. He came to my desk carrying a golf club while berating me after I told him that the story was bullshit and I wasn’t going to make any calls on it.

As a small protest, I put a sign on my desk that said, “You furnish the pictures, I’ll furnish the war.” It was New York Journal publisher William Randolph Hearst’s supposed line to artist Frederic Remington, whom he had sent to Cuba to illustrate the “crisis” there before the Spanish-American War. I don’t think my editors even noticed the sign.

the problem is masculine culture turning sex into a rite of passage (specifically "earning" it, so sex workers don't count)

if your status as a man wasn't judged based on the amount of sex you've had then guys not having sex for whatever reason would be far less psychologically damaging and alienating

Well you can stop judging men for the amount of sex they've had in polite society but I don't know if you could ever completely erase that in teens. I mean when you have a thing that everyone wants but only some people can get there's always gonna be some sense that the people who get it are winners and the rest are losers

have you ever considered why apparently EVERYONE wants sex but there's this huge contingent of people who easily could but refuse to have it because they have purposefully impossible standards

Words mean however people use them and prescriptivism is wrong and dumb

For example, here is the Paper of Record saying Israel should intervene in Syria because it has a special obligation to stop war crimes. Words don't have meaning as they relate to Platonic ideas, as the author, also the author of “Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel’s Targeted Assassinations," is not so interested in opposing war crimes as promoting an Israeli war on Syria. They are the ravings of a fool saying "Israel good. Syria bad." It's just dressed up to be more rhetorically appealing.

i always love the wording of "do something" because it lets your brain fill in the action to be taken (inevitably, turning a mostly functional nation into a trash can for exporting weapons to, with overwhelming violence) with whatever you, the nice NYT-reading liberal, want it to be


and by that i mean do all these absolute monsters think that everyone just forgot about the iraq war completely given that this is the exact same loving thing
