If these frat boys were holding up "Stop The Genocide" signs on campus instead of raping women, universities would have expelled them and banned the frats already

I appreciate that Jacob Tierney responded as bluntly as he did to Andy Cohen saying the NHL's been "meeting the moment" post-HEATED RIVALRY: "Have they? No, they've just hired four rapists to play for them... They really need to deal with their own toxic culture, and they’re not.”

I harp on this all the time, but there is so much peer reviewed solid evidence that we benefit from small talk with strangers, knowing our neighbours, chatting with our baristas, etc. And I believe that our shift away from that stuff is at the root of all our antisocial behaviour right now.

Talking to strangers is good for us, and a growing number of places have started campaigns, events and programs to kickstart those conversations

But taking on the full cost of building the thing, when private proponents didn’t want to touch it even with those other supportive policies, basically means betting on demand (and the supply to meet it) beyond what the industry itself is willing to do. That’s deeply weird.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

LOL, the gotcha part in the second paragraph is truly hilarious. Who will think of the straight white rightwing men in the literary world? WHO? WHO?
Last week, the longlists for the National Book Awards were announced. Among the 20 authors in the fiction and nonfiction categories, nearly all are straight white males. Most are also on the political right, some even on the far right. Remarkably, mainstream media outlets haven’t reported this, perhaps because they don’t think it’s noteworthy. It’s as if we were living in 1956 rather than 2026.

If you’re scratching your head at this “news,” well, it’s because I made it up. Or rather, I inverted the particulars about the authors’ identities and their political views to make a point: If today, as a reader, you recoil at the thought of a time in which minorities were systematically marginalized when it came to the literary world’s public honors (and so much else), shouldn’t you also recoil now that the tables have been almost completely turned? And if you object to the right’s efforts to politicize the arts, won’t you also object when the efforts come from the left?

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.
