The New York Times, NPR, NBC, Reuters, Bloomberg, and Politico have been removed or had their access to briefings limited. Replaced with friendly right wing news sources. The Elon Ketamine use news is from an NYT article, the TACO phrase was from a Financial Times article.

The phrase ‘women let men have sex with them’ bothers me. It frames sex as something women permit men to do, rather than a mutual choice both partners actively make.

In a relationship sex is (or should be) a mutual expression of attraction, love, desire, acceptance, understanding.

The idea that women “let” men have sex with them is problematic because it frames intimacy as something one person grants another, like a favour, rather than a shared experience. In healthy relationships, sex isn’t about permission or transactions—it’s about mutual desire and connection.

The word “let” also subtly reinforces old stereotypes, where men are seen as chasing sex and women as controlling access to it. Relationships work when both partners feel equally free to express what they want, say no without pressure, and see intimacy as something they create together. Consent is an ongoing dialogue where both people check in, respect boundaries, and prioritise each other’s comfort.

Ultimately, sex shouldn’t feel like a performance or a prize. It’s about vulnerability, trust, and collaboration. Good relationships thrive when both people feel heard, valued, and free to be themselves without rigid roles.

I’m of course not suggesting that there are any indications that Melania and Donald have anything approximating what could be called a good relationship.

Dude 2011 was like 6 years ago

Do we know that that wasn’t consensual? Did she say later that the bit went further than they had agreed?

Look how you’ve mangled that date
