Nah, getting off on humiliation is much more of a male thing than a female one, see how cuckqueaning as a fetish is so much rarer than cuckoldry. Women who are into degrading sex don’t really see it as being humiliated because it doesn’t happen with low status men, it’s more about surrendering control to a hot man, which is feminine. Amusingly the only widespread female equivalent of male fetishes that are huge popular on porn sites like women insulting men’s penis size or “mom fucks my high school bully” is the fetish many ftm trans men have for a transman being treated like a woman, called ‘she’, which kind of proves my point and says interesting things about the effect of test.
A woman being attracted to a fantasy of surrendering and being treated like a favorite toy by a powerful and sexy man isn’t a humiliation fantasy. It’s more like a man fantasizing about the harem or whatever.
For men, sexual humiliation is your woman whoring herself out and everyone knowing about it. For women, sexual humiliation is your husband and love of your life leaving you for a younger, sexier, skinnier woman. And while there’s plenty of material made in which that happens, pretty much all of it is made for men.
Of course they exist, in the same way that things that are the complete opposite of the classically ‘masculine’ fantasy obvious exist. But they’re very much in the minority of successful romance stories.
Obviously some substantial proportion of generally well-adjusted women have “rape fantasies”, but these rape fantasies mostly involve (a) extremely handsome 6’5 vampire princes who are in love with them, who (b) are extremely good at giving head and spend most of the sexual interaction giving them pleasure, and (c) who inevitably marry them, are monogamous and have children with their beloved wife who they spoil and are happy with forever after after the fact. Very different to getting roofied and waking up with some random guy from a party on top of you (who will never speak to you again), let alone being raped by a homeless guy in an alleyway on the way home from work, such that the comparison is ridiculous.
The archetypal male fantasy is the harem of nubile young virgins (72 of them, maybe even), the archetypal female fantasy is taming the dangerous and powerful bad boy into a loving monogamous husband and father who only has eyes for them. That’s why almost no romantic fantasies written for women involve female promiscuity, and why almost all end with (as in Fifty Shades of Grey) the protagonist marrying the man of her dreams and living happily ever after.
Western working classes aren’t really wage surprised outside of, to some extent, Germany and the Netherlands (which has much more to do with the euro than with China). Inequality is higher than the 1970s, but real incomes haven’t fallen significantly and productivity, while somewhat higher, has lagged asset price growth. Factory workers in Northern Europe are still paid very well, they’re often still in countries like Germany and Switzerland a kind of Marxian labor aristocracy. The working class suffering are those who work service jobs.
Either curious about them and wanted to track/follow them (and forgot he’s logged in on his main) or an assistant/staffer for whom the same was true.
We have rockets that can land on towers in the air now. We are going to build a spirit of building things again, we are going to make America great again, greater than ever before. We have the capacity, we have the smartest people in the world, we have factories lying empty ready to turn on, we have so much potential, nobody has ever had potential like we have. America is the New World, the Classical era and the Renaissance have nothing on what we can do.
Fun question: in the hypothetical situation in which it turns out that Trump accomplishes none of the American renaissance you expect, please explain why you were gullible enough to believe this.
I agree. A lot of rich and powerful people realize that Trump is actually good for business because he can be easily persuaded by charismatic, successful, smart people who know how to flatter his ego and who treat him either as an equal or as a superior.
Since 2015 the market has 3x’d though, so you can likely push the 1988 date back significantly. In addition, Trump was in NYC real estate, which from the nadir in the 1970s has seen valuation growth far exceed equities. The fact remains that his business performance is pretty poor, everyone in NYC real estate made huge money because valuations have in many cases risen 40x or more since the trough.
It doesn't work like that, you can't just liquidate your whole net worth and invest in stocks and sit around earning money
Yes you can, especially in a relatively liquid market like NYC real estate. Investments are always judged against the broader market, what’s your point?
It seems that Russia invading Ukraine got Europe to pay for NATO. The Patriot Act is gone, but does anyone think the NSA has curtailed its surveillance since it expired?
Elon Musk has the Voice of America, a fleet of privately-owned ICBMs (and the only company with the ability to produce them these days), and the infrastructure for a parallel worldwide communications network with extremely limited 'lawful intercept' [read: end-run around 4A] capability that is relatively easy for individuals to access yet very hard for any state actor to destroy.
And yet at any time, ten police officers can walk into the SpaceX headquarters, have him arrested with evidence the CIA can fake, and that’s that. And there’s nothing Musk could do about it. So where does the real power lie?
The man took his father's modest real estate business in Queens and turned it into a premire luxury empire in New York.
If he sold said business and put the money into the market, or indeed just handed it to any of the major other family owned real estate companies in that region (the Dursts, the Kushners, whatever) he’d have made more money (so much more that he could build the Trump tower and not have to lease out a single floor), I don’t know that that reflects well on him.
I agree with this Trump as embodiment of America thing, but it’s too early to say for sure that that’s how he’ll be remembered.
Yeah I’m just mildly dyslexic, sadly. I edit a lot of ‘writes’.
How many members of the current conservative majority on the Supreme Court do you believe would vote categorically against birthright citizenship?
DeSantis against Newsom would have been a fun election, honestly.
As long as birthright citizenship exists illegal immigration will continue without clear end. Since there is no viable plan to end birthright citizenship none of this really matters at all.
He has kids born in the early 2000s, why would that be unexpected? Tons of parents know what rizz, fortnite, skibidi etc are for the same reason.
Every communication between Musk and Putin is obviously monitored and everyone knows it on all sides.
Jeff Bezos can’t call up a desk or bureau chief at the Washington Post and order him to do something without causing a ruckus and leading to resignations and bad (and probably embarrassing) press coverage, sure.
But that doesn’t mean he’s powerless to direct coverage. Over 5-10 years of ownership he could have the paper recruit various closely-allied journalists who share whatever ideology he has. He could quietly advocate for their promotion. He could sit in on the interview panel for a new EIC. He could use layoffs and cutbacks to get rid of people whose opinions he doesn’t like for unsuspicious reasons.
Over time, he could have a paper led by close personal allies who agree with him on all major issues.
As I’ve argued, though, high status men seem to marry whores all the time.
Why did they let Trump win in 2016? And why is there minimal voter fraud in red counties?
That’s exactly the point. Trump’s defeat likely didn’t involve “above average” amounts of voter fraud, merely the moderate level that has been ongoing for at least a century in this form and in various other forms since the founding of the republic, under both major parties.
It’s the preference but clearly not the reality, both for the majority of married men here and in general. Men also “prefer” tall, hourglass blondes with huge tits and perfect faces and women “prefer” 6’5 billionaire bad boys with sexy voices, that isn’t the destiny of most people.

It’s similar across Western Europe. It’s exactly 55% native in the UK, probably around 60% in Germany, about 55% in Sweden. France and Belgium are likely lower but it’s hard to say for certain, there’s far less data. I suspect it’s lower in Austria because the native birthrate is so low, but again hard to be sure.
UK and German stats are confounded by mass European immigration, if that’s what you care about, such that probably 70% total of births are to European parents. Percentage in Sweden is likely lower, and the same will probably be true in France/Belgium.
