Obviously we don't know how much is causal, but both married men and women are happier.

Some opinions I have that are left wing or otherwise possibly unpopular or contrarian in this sphere:
1. Toxic masculinity is real (but so is toxic femininity). 2. Depending on the definition, the idea of rape culture doesn't seem that unreasonable.

There is an interesting subreddit called r/BarbaraWalters4Scale (referencing the fact that Walters, MLK and Anne Frank were all born in 1929) with a interesting time comparisons. For example:

If TikTok is banned for a while in the US the contents will likely eventually be deleted. Many would say good riddance but I would consider this a loss to the historical record. TikTok contains a record of the trends, attitudes aesthetics, and political debates of the time. It also gives a record of how Americans reacted to many historical events like the pandemic, BLM riots, the 2020 and 2024 elections, Jan 6th, withdrawal from Afghanistan, invasion of Ukraine, 10/7, the rise of AI and the Trump assassination attempt.

1/Thread about women in law enforcement. 2/ Women in the US make up about 14% of police officers. This number has grown rapidly since the early 70s though less than people may think since female officers are more common on TV than real life. researchgate.net/publication/27…

Going to do a thread on the 1986 book "Men and Marriage" which is critical of the feminist movement. It is pretty old so I am taking some of the social science cited at the time with a grain of salt, but it is certainly an interesting time capsule. amazon.com/Men-Marriage-G… Why men are less sexually secure than women:

Quick thread on this new report on underemployment, which is defined as getting a degree and working a job that doesn't need one. They estimate that after 10 years 45% of college graduates are "underemployed" static1.squarespace.com/static/6197797…

Thread on people who allegedly scored very well on IQ tests, what evidence there is and what they did with their lives. This is looking at test data only, not claimed smartest people based on accomplishments. The Guinness book of world record used to keep a record for the smartest person.
