From the NBC News opinion section:
Is Arizona’s Kyrsten Sinema bad for bisexual Americans?
Bisexual women are constantly told we’re untrustworthy, that our attraction to multiple genders means we’re more likely to cheat.

No, just kidding:
By Lux Alptraum, author, “Faking It: The Lies Women Tell About Sex — And the Truths They Reveal”
It wasn’t that long ago that embattled Arizona [moderate Democrat] Sen. Kyrsten Sinema was hailed as a triumph of bisexual representation. After she was sworn in in January 2019, Out celebrated the first openly bisexual senator as a “rebuke to Trumpism,” positioning the “sassy lawmaker” in opposition to homophobic then-Vice President Mike Pence.
But just a few years into her tenure, public opinion has soured on Sinema. Instead of a brash, bisexual icon willing and able to stand up to the far right, she’s now seen as an unreliable centrist, a self-absorbed Democratic turncoat more fixated on getting attention and lining her own pockets than uplifting her community. No longer a bi icon, she’s now held up as a cautionary tale about the limits of representation.
As a bisexual woman — and one who, like Sinema, is white and cisgender — I now cringe every time the senator makes the headlines. Whether it’s fashion columnists dissecting her showy personal style, cartoonists mocking her as a “manic pixie dream senator” or the seemingly endless analyses of her inscrutability, Sinema seems to embody many of the nasty assumptions about bi women I’ve worked my whole life to avoid.
Bi women are constantly told we’re untrustworthy, that our attraction to multiple genders means we’re more likely to cheat. We’re called greedy for finding more than one gender attractive, “confusing” for liking more than one gender and self-absorbed because apparently our brains are unable to think about much beyond our own sexual gratification. Within the LGBTQ community, bisexuals can be viewed as fair-weather members at best — likely to bail the second we stop having fun. Media outlets might not be talking about Sinema’s sex life, but her political reputation as greedy, unreliable and attention-seeking echoes many of the stereotypes my community has been dealing with for years.
“Is she bad for the bisexuals?” I find myself wondering on a nearly daily basis. It feels uncharitable to put so much responsibility on one woman’s shoulders. Yet given that she’s arguably the most prominent bisexual woman in the nation, it feels fair to wish she’d put a little more effort into being a bit less of a stereotype.
At the same time, I find myself wondering why Sinema’s sexuality matters so much to me in the first place. What does “bisexual representation” actually mean in this instance?
One obvious answer is that bisexuals have a unique perspective that should ideally be helpful when crafting legislation. There’s no question that bisexuals face our own particular challenges when it comes to topics like sexual health, mental health and abuse and assault.
… Research has shown that bi people, particularly bi women, are at an elevated risk for depression, anxiety, substance use and suicide;
In general, countless social science studies have found that bis are bad news.
yet mental health resources are rarely targeted specifically to the bi community. Bi women are also at an elevated risk of abuse and assault: 2010 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that over 60 percent of bisexual women reported experience with rape, intimate partner violence or stalking, compared to over 43 percent of lesbians and 35 percent of straight women.
Interesting how lesbians are violently victimized by women at a higher rate than straight women are violently victimized by men.
Bisexual women are also extremely vulnerable to poverty: A 2019 report showed nearly 30 percent of the community living below the poverty line — a rate matched only by the percentage of transgender people of all sexual orientations living in poverty.
It’s almost as bisexual women tend to be too sluttish and focused on their short term pleasures to defer gratification.
In theory, electing more bisexuals will lead to better legislation that more thoughtfully addresses bisexual-specific concerns, making sure bisexuals don’t fall through the cracks of public health, anti-violence and anti-poverty initiatives.

It’s almost as if most stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason.
Personally, I think Sinema is a hoot. Current year America deserves clownish legislators. And she’s, even if inadvertently, doing the country a tiny favor standing ever so slightly athwart the plan to blow another $5 trillion in fake money out of a cannon.

The “passing” phenomenon is, historically, a lot more secret wish fantasy than reality. Many black girls (especially lighter-skinned ones) dreamed of a Cinderella moment where they would show up at a ball with just the right lighting and dress and makeup and some rich white dude would instantly be smitten with them.
It’s a fantasy that sold a lot of skin whitening cream.

Kyrsten Sinema has that Van Halen, naughty school teacher look. If she worked on her Instagram with this, she will never lose an Arizona election. I like the way she’s been throwing wrenches into the works. The Dem leadership is peeved at this rebel bisexual. Anyways, if she is so bisexual, how come no photos of her cute young girlfriend?

Yes. There’s the fantasy of bisexual women, then there’s the reality. Most of them are just crazy, narcissistic, selfish, and indecisive. Those are the kinds of traits that drive men (and women) batty, and that’s why they suffer from more physical abuse. They’re probably more likely to dish out the abuse, as well.
I think bisexuality doesn’t really exist, by and large. There are basically straight men who’ll do some things with guys if they can’t get anything better (i.e. female), and lesbians who’ve realised that calling yourself a lesbian turns off almost all normal women.
I read somewhere that bi women have had, on average, sex with more different men than the average straight woman.Replies: @Clyde, @Jack Armstrong

As with any out of the mainstream community, proponents reflexively list a litany of negative outcomes associated with it as though these things just randomly happen to people with their identity rather than being a direct product of it. Trans, bisexual, non-binary, etc. are generally people with mental health issues and casting about for a socially acceptable ‘community’ is trying to get at an itch they cannot scratch.
Also I laughed out loud when this author, after decrying unfair stereotypes about bisexuals, then goes on to say that Sinema embodies those very stereotypes. How can that be? To the extent I ever think about bisexuals – which is hardly ever – my impression is for men it’s gays that occasionally hook up with gay-loving women, and women who are bad at relationships and rarely really date anyone.
why were we friends? Because I was the "clean" friend, around whom she could be normal and sober. I thought I could change her, but alas, she died much too young.

Among men, among women, the majority of people you’d find who identified that way in surveys today would just be young women with BPD. Most ‘bisexual’ women today are not really attracted to their own sex. Same thing is happening with FtM trans, people imagine most of them are lesbians but that isn’t the case anymore and a lot of the ones who ‘identified’ as lesbian realise afterwards that they just had a complex about having the female role in sex and relationships once they ‘transition’.
This is borne out by the survey in the piece, those sounds like the problems of women with BPD. ‘Bisexual’ in the survey was a status contaminated by straight women with BPD.

The feminist line was--at least originally--that women could do what men do and were more than ready to shoulder the same responsibilities as men. But a good slice of them, given even a bit of responsibility can't even project a tiny bit of sobriety. Given the chance they just can't resist the "hey look at me!"
In contrast, when it comes to actual thought ... most of them avidly conform to whatever received "wisdom" girl talk TV is pumping out.

In a sane nation, the particularly issues of bisexuals and other various sexual freaks and misfires would be of no particular interest or account.
This is the fundamental political problem of the West: Do normies have a right to live in and run their nations for normies.
Is bisexuality that rare for women on the left? Don’t something like 30-40-50% of young (then under 30, now under 40) liberal or very liberal women identify as bisexual?
I wonder about Sinema. Did some LoeTacks billionaire see the populist tack the Republicans were taking, and decide to buy a “Democratic” Senatoratrix? Or is the Republican party so unpopular with the recently post-college white women class from which he fishes for mistresses that he has to bankroll a “Democrat”?
It flummoxes me that the political party for which “starve the beast,” whereby the federal government borrows so much money that it, after at least 40 years, who knows how many more, can no longer pay for “guns and butter” will one day decide that it prefers the warfare state to the welfare state? The “starve the beast thing was such party-line Republicanism that it made the Wall Street Journal editorial page. How did that party ever get the reputation as the fiscally responsible one?
Leave aside that, in the words of Michael Scott, for a billionaire to favor fiscal failure of the USG is “cutting off your nose to spider face.” Actually, no. Let’s not leave that aside. Why do billionaires, most of whom are billionaires off fiscal shenanigans, think that getting the hardnosed “realist” types into “kill the speculators and Jews” mode of thinking is a good idea?
Surely, after 40-odd years of failing to outgrow the deficit, and knowing that, should the dice be recast, the current billionaires are unlikely to come up with all boxcars again, surely they should think that taxes now are better than dissolution later?
The first "conservative" thing Republicans did when Bush was elected was cut taxes on the rich, including estate taxes. It was also just about the last "conservative" thing they did. They spent the rest of his eight years refusing to fight in the culture wars and flooding the country with immigrants, legal and illegal - and pushing for citizenship for the millions of illegals already here.
People vote for conservatives because they want to conserve what is good about this country. That is the root word of conservative. And yet the RINO half of the GOP did everything they could to guarantee that would be a losing battle. The people who care more about controlling immigration and winning the culture war didn't get a damn thing. But they sure were happy to let them have their tax cuts.Replies: @Paleo Liberal

A fully straight man might be ok with getting some head from a guy, but I imagine most won’t. I think most self-described incels are fully straight because otherwise they would just download Grindr instead of crying about hypergamy all the time. It is much easier for a man to hookup with another man than to hook up with a woman. This is especially true of men below the 85th percentile of attractiveness
Frankly, as open hypergamy intensifies, I imagine many more men will turn to gay sex because utter celibacy is often intolerable for some people.
Not to be too crass but I think Heartiste or some pick up artist type once said something to the effect, “The vaginally/sexually flighty woman is an emotionally flighty woman”.

I thought the “she should go to film school” worked all by itself.
“Interesting how lesbians are violently victimized by women at a higher rate than straight women are violently victimized by men.”
Counterintuitive data from surveys always says “look closer.” How many of those “lesbians” experienced DV from a man, which is a big reason that they’re lesbians now?
Second counterquestion: Are those numbers an artifact of greater DV, or of different cultural groups classifying more things as DV? Young folks these days are liable to say things like “The way he looked at me, the tone in his voice just had such a violent energy, I was terrified.

Though I’m an Illinoisan, I spent a part of the ‘08 campaign season in AZ when Sinema was a state representative who occasionally appeared on local Phoenix channels. I got the impression even then that she was basically a run of the mill pol: not brain dead, but not overly smart. But she looks good, sounds good, and is willing to move to the middle in what is a purple/light red state. I imagine she’ll warm a Senate seat for a long time.
It's a fantasy that sold a lot of skin whitening cream.

“The “passing” phenomenon is, historically, a lot more secret wish fantasy than reality. Many black girls (especially lighter-skinned ones) dreamed of a Cinderella moment where they would show up at a ball with just the right lighting and dress and makeup and some rich white dude would instantly be smitten with them.”
I’m going to guess you don’t follow stupid tabloid entertainment, but a light-skinned black woman actress Megan Markle literally married a Prince of England (the second son, not the heir).
Oh, yes it has!
Do you follow the one-drop rule? Markle wouldn't be "light skinned" unless one of her parents were White.
In prior times she would have tried to pass as White. Now in Clown World, that becomes "Black."
The reality doesn't change.
In truth virtually all lighter skinned "blacks" have some non black parentage or ancestry. Either White or MENA. Go to Africa and see for yourself. American "blacks" seldom look like actual Africans.

Counterintuitive data from surveys always says "look closer." How many of those "lesbians" experienced DV from a man, which is a big reason that they're lesbians now?

I also think that’s untrue, but bisexual women are telling the truth about straight people constantly wanting to touch their hair. They find it quite exhausting.
“Like men you mean?”
Maybe. Do 30% of US men live below the poverty line?
(I don’t agree with Steve on that, mind, female bisexuality is pretty common whether expressed or not – perhaps it’s expressed more among the poor? I only know the UK, but there’s two big groups of poor women here who might be more likely to dabble – single mother on council estate and single arty/SJW student type still sharing a house in the city at 35)
69 comments at the time I’m writing this…..nice.
It’s entertaining to see how addled she is making her radical base, ignoring them as they relentless hound her in bathrooms and airports. Borderlines cannot stand to be ignored!
In the days before the era of modern medicine giving birth was always a life-threatening event, so it was natural that some women of distinguished families entered convents as to avoid the marriage trap and a potential early death.
The problem with the life of celibacy was that she didn’t get a lot of sex, and it would have been natural for the nuns to lend each other a hand or a tongue for a bit of sexy fun, and then to tantalize the priests at confession time with the details.
And if a really rich man came calling, they could always cast off the habit like Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music.
But bisexuality is not really a thing. When a pair of women claim to have a baby, it is either adopted, artificially inseminated, or else one of the women has been being heterosexual.
Instead of claiming to be bisexual, women should just admit that they like mutual masturbation with other women and be done with it.
At least Sintema has come clean about this kinky little habit, but if she decides to marry a billionaire, she can always change her mind.
If not yet,then in a couple of years, this will be enough to get you charged with transphobic hate speech in Dear Old Blighty.
Also I laughed out loud when this author, after decrying unfair stereotypes about bisexuals, then goes on to say that Sinema embodies those very stereotypes. How can that be? To the extent I ever think about bisexuals - which is hardly ever - my impression is for men it's gays that occasionally hook up with gay-loving women, and women who are bad at relationships and rarely really date anyone.Replies: @stillCARealist
I had a friend in the 80’s who was bisexual. Now, she did not “identify” that way, but that’s how she lived. Her life revolved around cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs. The others that she hooked up with, male and female, were also drug users. They had steady parties that involved lots of drinking and drug-taking (speed, pot, cocaine, whatever) and then there might be some hooking up. What a life!
why were we friends? Because I was the “clean” friend, around whom she could be normal and sober. I thought I could change her, but alas, she died much too young.

There’s usually two types of lesbians: there’s the real dykes, who are generally not appealing to men at all and don’t want to be (think Rosie O’Donnell, Ellen, Rachel Maddow); then there’s the bisexuals, who became bi after a series of failed (and/or abusive) relationships with men. Hot bisexual women are always appealing in theory, but they are often trainwrecks in real life.
I never heard of this gal. Was she ever involved with the “throuple”?
School officials really need to do more to make first grade classrooms hospitable for six year old lesbians.
I wonder about Sinema. Did some LoeTacks billionaire see the populist tack the Republicans were taking, and decide to buy a “Democratic” Senatoratrix? Or is the Republican party so unpopular with the recently post-college white women class from which he fishes for mistresses that he has to bankroll a “Democrat”?
It flummoxes me that the political party for which “starve the beast,” whereby the federal government borrows so much money that it, after at least 40 years, who knows how many more, can no longer pay for “guns and butter” will one day decide that it prefers the warfare state to the welfare state? The “starve the beast thing was such party-line Republicanism that it made the Wall Street Journal editorial page. How did that party ever get the reputation as the fiscally responsible one?
Leave aside that, in the words of Michael Scott, for a billionaire to favor fiscal failure of the USG is “cutting off your nose to spider face.” Actually, no. Let’s not leave that aside. Why do billionaires, most of whom are billionaires off fiscal shenanigans, think that getting the hardnosed “realist” types into “kill the speculators and Jews” mode of thinking is a good idea?
Surely, after 40-odd years of failing to outgrow the deficit, and knowing that, should the dice be recast, the current billionaires are unlikely to come up with all boxcars again, surely they should think that taxes now are better than dissolution later?Replies: @Wilkey
The irony being that Republicans, Trumpists and RINOs alike, are all for lower cap gains and estate taxes on billionaires precisely at the time when billionaires are ever more unrepresentative of the American people, ethnically speaking. Asians are a growing share. Jews are up to around 40% of them. Increasingly they live in the big coastal cities, not the heartland. And even those who are more ethnically similar to the average American don’t really care about their co-ethnics all that much. The political causes and charitable causes they support simply don’t align.
The first “conservative” thing Republicans did when Bush was elected was cut taxes on the rich, including estate taxes. It was also just about the last “conservative” thing they did. They spent the rest of his eight years refusing to fight in the culture wars and flooding the country with immigrants, legal and illegal – and pushing for citizenship for the millions of illegals already here.
People vote for conservatives because they want to conserve what is good about this country. That is the root word of conservative. And yet the RINO half of the GOP did everything they could to guarantee that would be a losing battle. The people who care more about controlling immigration and winning the culture war didn’t get a damn thing. But they sure were happy to let them have their tax cuts.
Billionaires want tax cuts, government contracts and bailouts, business-friendly regulations, and cheap labor.
Pretty much the sum total of both political parties in the 21st Century has been those four items.
Consider the near collapse of the economy in 2008.
There was a real estate bubble made possible by mass immigration, looser banking regulations, and tougher bankruptcy restrictions (the prime offender for the last being Joe Biden).
When the bubble burst, candidate Obama signaled to the banks he would take care of them by choosing Biden as his running mate. So the banks got their bailouts while we peasants got nothing.
Obama’s betrayal of the working class led to Trump being elected. Trump’s biggest accomplishment was blowing up the deficit to give more tax cuts to the rich.
And so people turned to Biden, who is clearly not up to the job either.

Yes, it’s a fantastic ride when it does happen, but don’t count on it.

Having known (not in the biblical sense!) two bisexual women, I’d say they simply have a very high sex drive combined with a very flexible definition of who is an acceptable partner. One was married, both were into swinging, so part of it might have been keeping their husband/boyfriend happy.

Woman that fooled around with a girl in college and now add it as a label to make themselves more sexually alluring.
Women just aren’t that into women even if they would like to be. I used to work public events and lesbians were the most miserable creatures. Gay men would be having fun while the lesbians mostly gave us glares as if we were waiting for the right moment to hit on their 250lb butch husband.
Homosexuality on TV and in real life are completely different affairs. Most lesbians are really just women that don’t attract men and use another woman as a substitute. It’s not ‘by chance’ that so many are butch. They attract bottom of the barrel men and aren’t happy about it.

Women commit more domestic violence than men. There’s little social pressure against it, men barely report it and there’s normally no punishment. So of course they do.

Once whites are a permanent (or not) minority, then no one will want to listen to the college whites, but that’s where the brains are. They are happy with the country, I think it’s just the great American bust out, and they will not be so well off when China decides there’s no more tech to transfer. What’s left? Intel, biotech, and pharma? But due to cargo cult, activist “science” and Grinese chaduate students, a huge amount of biomedical research was wasted, still is. Pharma was given quite a deal, report only what research they wanted, and the FDA gives them a license. Then medicare pays whatever price they set. But are the new drugs better than the old ones? Without good research. Pretty sure we have a lot of optics, but China is moving quickly. Are we so sure they cannot figure out “make up some sounds. Advertise that those sounds mean quality. Then, do not melamine in your baby formula. Pay the factory managers enough that they do not cut the product with cheaper poisons.” Once the Chinese figure that out, the vaunted superiority of corporate America goes bye-bye. Remember when there was no way the Japanese could produce TVs as good as whatever the brands were back then, I am too lazy to google? Remember when GM made most of the world’s cars?I digress.

Countries did okay with manufacturing as the basis for creating wealth. The simple fact is that, at some point, we will either manufacture more and sell it to China and other nations, or we will be a third-world country for a lot of Americans. Maybe that die is cast, already. On social issues, besides homosexuality, the right, the base, not the establishment, has reality on its side. Temperaments, interests, and aptitudes, along with IQ are heritable. On race, we are already facing reality. There are psychological differences between the sexes.

Not entirely a fantasy. Rebecca Hall looks pretty white to me. As does Markle. “Black” looks may persist at lower genetic levels than, say, Australian aboriginal (referring to a previous conversation here) but attempts to apply a “one drop” rule are as stupid as Jews on the Brain.
I certainly hope not. We’ll be more like the Arab world. There polygamy/sharia keeps women away from many men so you have a lot of “down low” sex or assault. I’d hate to think the same thing happens here because women are chasing the top 20%
Because it’s a slippery term whose relationship to reality is hard to pin down, “bisexual” is one of those things that gets me thinking about nominalism vs. realism. And that gets me even more confused.
Richard Weaver famously traced the crisis of our times to the growth of nominalism, but I’m not sure he got it quite right. Most of the problems we have today seem to be with nominalists who are quite convinced that they are realists.
It’s one thing to say, as a nominalist would, that things like sexuality and gender are “socially constructed.” But most militant activists don’t actually assert this. They dogmatically insist that a man who calls himself a woman is an actual woman, or that “gay,” “straight,” “bisexual” and “genderfluid” are actual, rigorously definable human categories.

“you never hear about straight guys turning gay because of bad experiences with women”
I fear that this may no longer be true for very young men (say 14-18) who have no father figure and who girls of their age ignore. It’s quite possible that where once a late developer may just have bitten the bullet of celibacy until a girl IS interested, now there are gay dating sites, available on their phone, where their SMV is through the roof. An 18 year old boy who looks 13 is of no interest to most girls of 18, but of great interest to a lot of gay men.
I’ve got no data on this, but it sounds quite possible. The impact of the smartphone and of absent fathers is yet to be fully documented.

This sort of “fashion” nonsense is hardly restricted to Sinema or bi-sexual women. It is utterly common among a huge fraction of hetero women.
The feminist line was–at least originally–that women could do what men do and were more than ready to shoulder the same responsibilities as men. But a good slice of them, given even a bit of responsibility can’t even project a tiny bit of sobriety. Given the chance they just can’t resist the “hey look at me!”
In contrast, when it comes to actual thought … most of them avidly conform to whatever received “wisdom” girl talk TV is pumping out.
The whole exercise has demonstrated why–warts and all, and yeah there have been lots of warts–“the patriarchy” was in charge of every successful civilization in human history. (No doubt the Chinese have watched this shit show and figured this out.)

The problem with the life of celibacy was that she didn't get a lot of sex, and it would have been natural for the nuns to lend each other a hand or a tongue for a bit of sexy fun, and then to tantalize the priests at confession time with the details.
And if a really rich man came calling, they could always cast off the habit like Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music.
But bisexuality is not really a thing. When a pair of women claim to have a baby, it is either adopted, artificially inseminated, or else one of the women has been being heterosexual.
Instead of claiming to be bisexual, women should just admit that they like mutual masturbation with other women and be done with it.

Billionaires want tax cuts, government contracts and bailouts, business-friendly regulations, and cheap labor.
Pretty much the sum total of both political parties in the 21st Century has been those four items.
Consider the near collapse of the economy in 2008.
There was a real estate bubble made possible by mass immigration, looser banking regulations, and tougher bankruptcy restrictions (the prime offender for the last being Joe Biden).
When the bubble burst, candidate Obama signaled to the banks he would take care of them by choosing Biden as his running mate. So the banks got their bailouts while we peasants got nothing.
Obama’s betrayal of the working class led to Trump being elected. Trump’s biggest accomplishment was blowing up the deficit to give more tax cuts to the rich.
And so people turned to Biden, who is clearly not up to the job either.
This is one reason I fear either a left or right wing authoritarian dictatorship. The center isn’t holding.Replies: @Rob
I’m more frightened of a right-wing one, myself. The left-wing is, in their minds at least, on track to total Democratic control. There are a ton of Latinx activists who thinks that means them in power, drafting legislation for hotel workers to more easily unionize. It does not mean them, and the people who own the permanent government are not about to let unions milk the business class. Not to mention, hotels could be in for a world of hurt, if this whole “sell from home” thing gets a life of its own. Business people who have to travel do not much like traveling. Anyone that the corporation trusts with x million/sale is responsible enough that he has a pretty wife and happy(ish) kids in a good neighborhood. He has to leave them for umpteen days a week, a few weeks every month. Inside sales are a thing.
The left, being disparate peoples, the college-educated neo-liberal whites, all sorts of blacks, and the unassimilated, lower ability Latinos, government workers, and Asians do not have much asabiya, which everyone reading this probably knows means something like group-spiritedness or solidarity. Once whites are a permanent (or not) minority, then no one will want to listen to the college whites, but that’s where the brains are. They are happy with the country, I think it’s just the great American bust out, and they will not be so well off when China decides there’s no more tech to transfer. What’s left? Intel, biotech, and pharma? But due to cargo cult, activist “science” and Grinese chaduate students, a huge amount of biomedical research was wasted, still is. Pharma was given quite a deal, report only what research they wanted, and the FDA gives them a license. Then medicare pays whatever price they set. But are the new drugs better than the old ones? Without good research. Pretty sure we have a lot of optics, but China is moving quickly. Are we so sure they cannot figure out “make up some sounds. Advertise that those sounds mean quality. Then, do not melamine in your baby formula. Pay the factory managers enough that they do not cut the product with cheaper poisons.” Once the Chinese figure that out, the vaunted superiority of corporate America goes bye-bye. Remember when there was no way the Japanese could produce TVs as good as whatever the brands were back then, I am too lazy to google? Remember when GM made most of the world’s cars?
I digress. I do wonder if, once whites are no longer the electoral majority, will the progs stop immigration? It’s hard to justify adding more mouths, more citizens to receive a dividend when automation and AI have eliminated a huge chunk of currently-existing jobs.
But right-wingers are a people. If they didn’t feel like one before Trump, calling them deplorable sure made them feel like a group. Plus, the right-wing has an economic vision that is not crazy. Countries did okay with manufacturing as the basis for creating wealth. The simple fact is that, at some point, we will either manufacture more and sell it to China and other nations, or we will be a third-world country for a lot of Americans. Maybe that die is cast, already. On social issues, besides homosexuality, the right, the base, not the establishment, has reality on its side. Temperaments, interests, and aptitudes, along with IQ are heritable. On race, we are already facing reality. There are psychological differences between the sexes. There are social issues where the right is wrong. Vaccination is the one most salient currently. A right-wing tyranny will not have a very healthy populace, I fear.
I lived in NYC for a while from early 80s to 2001, with a couple of years in other parts of the country mixed in.
I remember the 1985 mayoral race. Ed Koch was considered too conservative for the lefties. The lefties were supposed to put together a coalition of blacks, Hispanics and white progressives. The supposition was that Congressman Herman Badillo of the Bronx would be the coalition candidate. He was a very competent fellow who probably would have been a good mayor.
Trouble is, the African American contingent decided they should have a mayor first. So a complete non-entity named Denny Farrell joined the race as well. So then a white progressive, Carol Bellamy, joined the race. Badillo dropped out. Bellamy and Ferrell lost the primary but Bellamy was on the Liberal Party line, and came in second with under 20% of the vote in the general election. A token Republican got under 10%. Koch got over 70%.
Four years later the progressive coalition put forth David Dinkins as their candidate. He beat Koch in the primary and Giuliani in the general election. Dinkins managed to drive away enough Jewish, Hispanic, Asian and white gentile votes to lose the re-election. Progressives were shut out for the next 20 years, until the execrable de blah blah blah took office. He is being replaced by a black fellow who has a ton of support by moderate whites.
So I see your point. The right wing is a family of sorts. A badly dysfunctional family, but a family. The left is not.

It's a fantasy that sold a lot of skin whitening cream.

I read the plot on wikipedia and apparently there’s plenty of cultural subversion on offer:
– If a girl gets knocked up outside marriage, there’ll be “a kind, young, very wealthy Parisian jeweler who wants to marry her despite her pregnancy.”. Yes, alpha men are just lining up to wed gals pregnant with another mans baby, so it’ll turn out okay regardless of if the baby daddy is around.
– If a man knocks up a young woman, he should ignore her and refuse to be involved with the child
– American corporate franchises (aka GloboHomo) in other countries are the route to happiness
Some of these might be true in cases where the individuals are very attractive and/or talented, but as general romantic notions held by average people they’re not conducive to either personal happiness or a stable society.
Hey, if Mehdi Hasan is saying that the Great Replacement is a nutty conspiracy theory, that’s good enough for me.
Older women- cougars- would be an option to form relationships and give these young men some validation, confidence, and experience which would make them more attractive to younger women as they get older, thus more likely to marry and form families than to be bitter, aging, and lonely homosexuals, often with diseases and drug problems.
Richard Weaver famously traced the crisis of our times to the growth of nominalism, but I'm not sure he got it quite right. Most of the problems we have today seem to be with nominalists who are quite convinced that they are realists.
It's one thing to say, as a nominalist would, that things like sexuality and gender are "socially constructed." But most militant activists don't actually assert this. They dogmatically insist that a man who calls himself a woman is an actual woman, or that "gay," "straight," "bisexual" and "genderfluid" are actual, rigorously definable human categories. They insist on these things as actual rock-solid facts, facts as real as the chair I'm sitting in.
At least that's how I understand it. That's the whole reason their claims arouse so much controversy. They are making radical realist claims, not radical nominalist claims (or more specifically, they are attempting to defend nominalist claims on radical realist grounds, while denying the nominalist genealogy of those claims).

Women are just more likely to experiment with another woman or pair up with one temporarily. I watched a show where a woman and a guy pick up women and it was surprising as to how many women accepted even though they had never done anything like that before. This would never work the same way on men.
The problem I have with the term bisexual is that it implies that lesbians are completely gay. How do we know this? Because they poll as such?
Yea well a lot these lesbians hate or resent men and as such are not going to admit being sexually attracted to them.
The gay community accepts the divorced lesbian after 40 phenomenon……so they were gay that entire time? Yea not buying it.

I think this woman is correct that it’s an old and recurring taunt, maybe especially from gays (though she’d never specify that), that bisexuals are wishy washy and not to be trusted.
I remember years ago seeing a clip on YouTube (which I bet is no longer up) of Andrew Dice Clay doing some standup in 1984, I believe for HBO. He basically says, after making some funny and nasty digs at homosexuals, “But look, the gays are one thing. At least they’ve made their decision. But these bisexuals…[lots of laughs]…. How does that work? How do you not know what you want until you wake up that day?”
And I remember once reading something from the gay columnist Dan Savage relating the gripes that gays apparently commonly have about bisexuals. It was more or less that, because bisexuals aren’t committed to the gay lifestyle, they can’t be trusted to stay on the ‘team’ – they can show up for the fun but melt away whenever there’s adversity, leaving ‘real’ gays to take the flak and do the work of changing attitudes.
That resentment kind of made sense. So maybe there’s a gut-level common sense take from people of all persuasions, for different reasons, there’s something a little bit off about people who would proudly identify as bisexual.
