Maybe it was the weather, but that night I found her very alluring.

"Emotional intelligence" certainly seems to be a $4 doublespeak for "my way or the highway".
Closely related: how society "intellectualises" female gaze and sexual interest as more sophisticated than its more primal and unfiltered male counterpart, hence justifying policing of female sexualisation in media.
Something something misogyny of gamers and Star Wars nerds. You can make a much stronger case for anti-men sentiment in female dominated kdrama/kpop fandoms, as (unironically pro-4B) radfems frequent these spaces and gatekeep like crazy. But it's just a case of women by default having more social capital than men on average.
Somewhat OT but there seems to be lot more males in gen z with an older woman fetish at least online, in spite of the metaphorical "wall". I saw a Chinese woman talking about this, she links this to directness and better socialisation of older gals, which makes sense but I suspect there's more to it.
Idk if it's tragic or funny that /r/okaybuddyliterallyme was swearing up and down that they were just exiled depressed introverts but NOT incels, repeating the script "I'M the one to blame" verbatim. Admirable if genuine, but it's reddit so I default assume it's just performative accountability to retain a single crumb of ingroup social acceptance. But there is negligible difference in social/sexual success between self declared incels and whatever Ryan Gosling posters fashion themselves as.
This is why I endorse that Chinese dating discourse from the last thread, those gals were brutally honest!
W is literally one of the rare presidents from the last 100 years who really doesn't have any defenders on either side of the aisle. He clearly doesn't have a home in the current GOP, and nobody on the left is ever going to bat to defend his presidency. And honestly, after that infamous freudian slip in 2022, it's safe to say that W himself shares that sentiment. And while Presidents like Grant, Truman, Carter, and even HW have seen historical reassessments boost the ranking of their presidencies to various degrees, that's never happened for W. Those guys were hurt by making unpopular decisions at the time that were somewhat justifiable in the long run, but the Iraq war looks like a bigger and bigger mistake with each year that passes. And Trump seems to be headed down a worse trajectory, there's at least that W was probably just a passenger in his own presidency while Cheney and Rumsfeld were behind the wheel.
a battered wife is unhappy with her husband's temporary alcoholised and violent state but will still tell the cops to piss off if they come to investigate reports that he sexually abuses their child.
Yeeep. Harsh but all that NATO infrastructure, dollar clearing, intel pipelines, and post-WW2 habit make outright defection feel so much costlier than staying. They signal public unhappiness to war wary domestic audiences while operational alignment cracks on as usual. The real question is future power dynamics in the middle east. Let's say Trump withdraws today and pretends shit never happened. The past month has dramatically altered the timeline. We're told the UAE is joining to open up the strait. Israel's "moderate" Yair Lapid backed the attacks on Tehran's oil fields. Iran is absolutely pursuing a nuke now. Does anybody remember Gaza? Where do we go from here?

You might be onto something there! Millennials are still seen as youngish people in the media, lots of millennial aged men and women in Hollywood who were childhood crushes for a lot of zoomers growing up are still seen as desirable. And big productions usually cast somewhat seasoned actors and actresses for main roles, which would put them in the 30+ age bracket. Which makes me think that male preference for strictly younger women is not quite as universal as women usually preferring older men.
