Melanie D’Arrigo: Newsweek published an op-ed written by the 1950’s patriarchy. And conservatives wonder why women won’t date them.

Newsweek published an op-ed written by the 1950’s patriarchy. And conservatives wonder why women won’t date them.

Conservatives should be grateful women have decided feeding them roofies and castrating them isn't worth the legal bills, to be honest.

This barely belongs in the comment section of an X post, let alone as a Newsweek editorial. What the hell is happening to our country?

... Have you not been watching

I have, I just...it just keeps getting worse.

Newsweek became cult-adjacent or something, it's coasting on name recognition

True. We were always a "Time" family and Newsweek always seemed a bit creepier. Now it seems to have fully gone to the dark side.

Note too that the author said it was basically ok for men to be “promiscuous” (and Swift is in no way promiscuous) because they’re “less emotional.” So Mick Jagger is fine.

Don’t F with Swifties! I’m just learning about her & I have NOTHING BUT RESPECT. Performing for 60-90k people every night. Ages 8-80 singing every word to every song with tears running down their cheeks & registering on the Richter scale! Mess with her you mess with them ALL. She’s fabulous!

She's just another human, settle down

I’m not unsettled. I just admire her for the empowerment she expresses to young girls AND the fact she never leaves a city without giving back to charities.

She also never leaves a city but in a cloud of private jet exhaust. She isn't any more of a role model for young people than any other billionaire; billionaires shouldn't be idolized, they should be taxed back to the stone age.

That would have been out of date in the 70s.

no-one asks why these people don't level these aren't-having-babies complaints against Black women

Women have been fighting these misogynist conservatives for 100+ years and now they are trying to undo every advancement we've made in just a couple of years. It's once again time to remind the conservatives just how powerful MODERN women actually are. We will NOT go back!

😳😳😳 they wanna drive us into the Middle Ages. They already act like Their would be mad king is in charge.

The writer seems sus

Out of everything to criticize Taylor for this is the one they picked?

🤣🤣🤣

Ah, what happened to @alt4me ? Someone recommend a different helpful one?

Nothing, it never existed you just say alt4me and someone might show up to provide alt

Thanks! My brain had a few migraine-related glitches yesterday. This morning, I can remember several times of actually doing this myself and telling other people how. I really appreciate the assists.

🙏🏻

the alt4me tag (which you unintentionally triggered lol) asks for human volunteers to alt text an image for you. the @/alt-text.bsky.social bot is still up (note the dash). the other one is no longer up. here’s the alt text. alt4you (nofeed)

Thanks! Migraine brain is rough today.

Jeepers

I am trying to decide which is more surprising to me in this moment- Newsweek running the op-ed, or discovering Newsweek still exists… I’m going to need some time.

It's like these conservatives are just asking people to hate them.

I feel the need to deliver a hard thump on his noggin.

Just thinking about all the men who don't have their first kids until they're 40 or more. This is even though it is known that older men have a greater probability of having children on the spectrum.
