This is what centrism gets you when you live in a fascist society
with each passing day i am more convinced that the nyt is an elaborate bit meant to humiliate the people who read it thinking it makes them smarter or more informed
It’s like the FT but even more stupid.
The economist is so much worse than FT
This reminds me, FT once published an article whose entire premise was that the concept of friendship doesn’t exist in China. Like literally saying that even Chinese children don’t have friends lmao
Hey remember when we found out that NYT editors will sometimes get an idea for an op-ed and then invite someone to write the op-ed?
I’d be willing to bet this one was Ross’s idea.
Well they do find people to match the idea. Trying to remember which op-ed backlash really exposed it, some GOP guy got invited to do one the editors had wanted…
The leadership of the NYT does standup.
“Stop booing us! Maybe women have! They might’ve. Women might have ruined the workforce. This joke is worthy of consideration.”
Boo! Boo! Boo! “You’re awful!”
“Okay… We’ll try - ‘Has feminism ruined the workplace’.”
“Get off the stage!” “Go away!” “You’re misogynists.”
“You guys… You guys… This joke is good. We’re not misogynists. Consider ‘Have feminine voices taken over the workplace’.”
"Go away! You hateful fucks! The boos are very loud and are mixed with yelling. Somebody throws a nearly empty plastic water bottle at the stage.
“We’re leaving. But before we go understand what due to this hostile and toxic reception - our main op-ed next week will be ‘Should Trump put millions of people into camps?’ It’s not really a question though. Of course the answer is clearly yes.”
It’s actually “vices.”
Have ‘Feminine Vices’ Taken Over the Workplace?
What are “feminine virtues” and “feminine vices”? On “Interesting Times,” the Opinion columnist Ross Douthat moderates a debate between Helen Andrews, the author of the recent essay “The Great Feminization,” and Leah Libresco Sargeant, the author of “The Dignity of Dependence,” about the impact these virtues and vices may have on the workplace.
Ugh.
Ross Douthat
What a vile turd he is.
I only know him from that one NYT interview of him and Hasan Piker on stuff
I never listen to CTH anymore but they talked about him a few times in the episodes I listened to. He’s been awful for a very long time. It’s his brand.
Douthat? More like Dukat! They say he’ll make Gul at the NYT soon.
All the news that’s fit to print
LOL 🤮
But, Helen, working off Leah’s argument, you have a conception essentially that there is a kind of evolutionary story in which men evolved to be warriors — putting their bodies in front of their families or their communities, taking wounds, and so on — and that women evolve to be worriers. Can you talk a little bit about that distinction and where those phrases come from?
“Do women be shopping?”
At the workplace
Well if they’re personal shoppers
“Are women bourgeois?”
They haven’t changed the headline three times, they’re A/B/C testing the headline for the most rage clicks and different users are just reporting what they’re seeing
