There was a high status woman. By prevailing morality she can't be used as a 'good time girl', not openly.
In times past she'd get the blame and have to marry someone a bit lower than her. But today, that's taboo, so we have to pretend the boys are rapey. But the gods of copybook heading are returning; treating a girl from a wealthy family that way was always banned. The difference is, in times past, she would be sent to 'help her aunt' in another state. That's how my great grandparents met. Today that part's not happening. I mean it will, slowly but surely- she's already banned from the frat parties(which exist primarily to make sure upper class women marry upper class men). But it's not yet, we have seduction charges but not the other side. History repeats, it rhymes, it does all those things at once- and cultural universals will always resurface. Yeah, she's being punished. So are they. The gods of copybook heading go nuclear on everyone.

'Satisfaction' and 'pleasure' are besides the point. It's about 'dignity' and 'status', not those other things.
The outrage is about upholding a social hierarchy, and part of that is that upper class women are supposed to be treated a certain way. Of course it can't be put in those terms, hence all the rape-that-isn't.

There were lots of Covid vaccines available. The counterfactual where the US didn't develop a covid vaccine looks like one where Sputnik and Astrazeneca take most of the three US vaccine's early market share.

They imposed strict discipline and consistent standards. Mississippi is one of the few places where corporal punishment is still normal in schools.

This one is not true- african american culture is getting less 'in' due to differential fertility rates, red tribe culture is taking its place very slowly. Look at what the youths are doing. They want to wear red wing and drive trucks and do greek life etc.

I never bet against Susan Collins or John Sununu. It's a personal rule of mine. I do believe Talarico probably has a slight edge in Texas, and if the race isn't called before midnight local time he almost certainly won(the worst administered elections in the state are in a blue county, albeit not the bluest- and Harris county is just generally dysfunctional, this is not ipso facto evidence of fraud). Willing to believe Alaska and Ohio are well within reach for democrats as well.

I think what you're getting at is pretty simple- they treated her like a whore, except they didn't pay her.
That's what everyone has got grasping at straws. It's a status distinction- having sex with a lady you're supposed to be cuddly afterwards and make her tea and give her breakfast the next morning and the like. But society doesn't want to acknowledge that; this was a sorority sister(and thus some sort of lower gentry background), and society doesn't want to acknowledge that that is a relevant variable to their outrage. We're supposed to be beyond status distinctions, or seeing consensual sex as gross.

'Gentleman' and 'well bred' indicate a well mannered and well behaved male, with no implication of upper class background. A gentleman from the trailer park or the project wouldn't be the expected outcome, but it wouldn't shock anyone either. Conversely the badly behaved children of celebrities/european nobles are not gentlemen.

Nope. I have Indian wholesale antibiotics and recently got a second cat, I think the plague is irrelevant to me.

The definition of gentleman has actually changed though. Using it for the weird Norwegian royals(there are multiple) who don't meet the behavioral definition would be deeply nonstandard, while all of the wiki examples except Laverne Cox are central examples of the category 'woman' even if some of them have unusual lifestyle decisions.

Constantine, obviously. Perhaps Alexios I Komnenos if you're allowing eastern ones.

Not really, no. The people who actually tend to lose their jobs for public speech in the US are typically high up enough that Europe would call them executives with lower protections around that stuff.
Most Americans would be under no danger from their companies finding out they run a racist Twitter account. Now screaming racial slurs at a customer, yes, that would get you fired- but Europe would call that ‘misconduct’ or something.

Most white southerners who are in a position to be elected to public office are descended from slave owners. Nobody actually cares because the only thing it actually means is having at least one ancestor who was in the top 10% of the population of the antebellum south; Talarico is in a feud with jasmine Crockett and thats thé only reason anyone’s bringing this up.

It’s normal for strict religions living in technological modernity to see more young men than young women leave. For better or for worse, this is probably just normal generational apostasy being blamed on some unique factor to the group in question.

Latin, Celtic, and mountain German- but not north Germanic- Europeans, Filipinos, and amerinds all have the same genes that allow for some parts of woke but not to embrace the whole package, clearly.

Concubines had identical obligations to wed wives in regards to motherhood. Those obligations are, by today’s standards, not particularly responsible parenting.

I mean, that could just be because the Jews are more civilized and sophisticated than Indians.

A dogwhistle implies anyone understands it, and even most admitted antisemites probably don't understand this.

Datapoint of one, but I don't know every word on the left. One of them I googled and arrived at the conclusion that I need some khan academy to understand, not just a definition.
The red tribe just thinks that sixteen year olds should be able to take on adult responsibilities. It's not about a complimentary view of men. It's about a different idea of adulting as a thing that you do, because you have to, and not some weird... I-don't-know-what-it-is. And in that view of course late teenagers can be adults in a variety of ways, even if they shouldn't. It's not this huge status difference determined by some other boundary. The really hardcore red tribe is OK with adults and teenagers being unironic platonic actual friends, too. It's not a gender difference so much as a 'be adult' definition that's more about how you behave than how others treat you.
