Quick Hits: Pride Month Comes Early! Edition

Oh good, we're going to have six weeks of Pride Month instead of the usual four.

Ellen Page -- who now calls herself "Elliot" Page and claims she's a man -- recently had her breasts cut off so that she could "affirm" whatever attention-baiting delusion she's having this week.

She shows off the butchery in a photo that garners praise from the media.

Content warning: the photo shows a woman's naked breasts. Though they have been cut off and maybe replaced with a pec impant?

A study claims that straight men cuddle with each other all the time, and it's just not talked about.

And the media keeps pushing this fake study. They really want to make Straight Male Cuddling a thing.

British researchers hypothesized that yes, gender boundaries are expanding. To prove it, they talked to 40 straight male athletes aged 18 and 19, which the study labels the typical arbiters of masculinity, to see if they've ever cuddled and spooned with another man before. The researchers figured that, if gender norms are changing, more straight men will say they're okay with cuddling and spooning with another man.

THE MEN SAID THEY WERE OKAY WITH MAN-ON-MAN CUDDLING AND SPOONING

What the researchers found was a bit surprising: the men said they were okay with man-on-man cuddling and spooning, and nearly 93 percent claimed to have done it before.

It turns out some straight men really like cuddling with each other
The study looked at three main topics: bed sharing, cuddling, and spooning.

"WE HAVE A BROMANCE WHERE WE ARE VERY COMFORTABLE AROUND EACH OTHER"

Of the 40 men interviewed, 39 said they have shared a bed with another man at least once since attending university. The one remaining student said he didn't remember if he had before: "I might have been pissed [drunk]." But all 40 athletes explained that there was no stigma to sharing a bed with another man, even if the other man wasn't a particularly close friend.

Thirty-seven of 40 respondents also said they previously cuddled with another man.

...

Even early-morning erections weren't looked down on by respondents. The students instead explained that they broke the resulting tension and awkwardness by joking around, which the researchers noted as a historically common reaction to awkward sexual tensions between straight men.

The three students who said they had not cuddled or spooned with another man also said they didn't stigmatize the acts. One of these three respondents even suggested that it would be nice to cuddle or spoon with another man.

Gee, I wonder if this "study" is, like most fake sex studies done by the activist "academic" left, based on self-reports garnered from a cattle call which of course only gay dudes responded to.

The study's sample was definitely limited. Not only did researchers only interview a small sample of 40 people, but they focused on a very narrow demographic of men: 18-to-19 student athletes from a British university. And these students were hand-picked by the researchers, so the results weren't randomized (the golden standard for research). This focused sample allowed the researchers to carefully interview this specific group of British men, but, as a result of that focus, it's unclear if the findings apply to a broader, bigger population.

The study also relied entirely on self-reporting. It's possible many of these students misled the researchers, perhaps by misidentifying their sexuality, misrepresenting events, or even outright pranking the researchers. It's unclear how much these self-reports can be relied on, especially given the small sample size.

So there you go.

A friend who keeps tabs on Blue Anon Twitter says that she has seen this story really, really pushed by the left. "Blue Anon is really trying to make this happen," she says.

Relatedly-- content warning for this raunchy Boyscast podcast in which they read and comment on another leftwing article claiming that men should be "pegged," and would really super-enjoy it if they allowed themselves to be anally penetrated.

Anyone notice a theme with the media's "reports" on sex? It's weird, it's almost as if they have an agenda to turn men into women or, if that's not possible, at least turn them into gay men, who are less Problematic.

An unidentified team in the Woke NFL told an Asian applicant for a coaching position that he wasn't really a minority, so he wouldn't get the job.

The NFL's transition from prominent sports league to middling left-wing institution is proceeding apace. Reports suggest the league is attempting to emulate the systemic racism of elite universities, where qualified Asian students are frequently penalized for being the "wrong" kind of minority.

That is precisely what former NFL offensive lineman and assistant coach Eugene Chung said he was told during a coaching interview this offseason. "It was said to me, ‘Well, you're really not a minority,'" Chung said last week during a webinar hosted by the Boston Globe. "I was like, ‘Wait a minute. The last time I checked, when I looked in the mirror and brushed my teeth, I was a minority.'"

Chung, who in 1995 became the first Korean American selected in the first round of the NFL draft, did not identify the organization that conducted the interview. Chung says he asked the interviewer to elaborate and was told he was "not the right minority that we're looking for."

Ocean City, NJ, restaurant uses a robotic server in order to cope with labor shortage.

I think Instapundit linked this with the commentary, "FIGHT FOR FIFTEEN!"

Yes, at some price point, a robot becomes more economical than a worker.

Decrepit cvck George Will: "I'd like to see January 6 burned into the American mind as firmly as 911."

Because the Four Hour Insurrection was every bit as bad as nearly 3000 murdered Americans. You silly bitch.

Biden babbled incoherently some more, even while simply reading a script written for him.

81 million votes they tell me. And when I see Biden struggling to form simple sentences (that are actually written out in his notes!), my belief that he got 81 million votes only increases.

Another thing the media left is really pushing: eating bugs.

Because Global Warming. And Because Veganism.

The end of the pandemic has a very, very sad side-effect: With women's faces no longer covered, men will tell them to "Smile" again!!!

Oh no!!! I wish we had the pandemic back!

Maybe this is why so many Karens are refusing to ever take their masks off.

Bless their hearts.

Finally, the New York Times and Michelle Goldberg find an "angle" to criticize their leftwing Arab friends' raiding parties on Jews about:

They say that these attacks might hurt the Democrat Party.

Not that this is criminal savagery. Or even racist. (Apparently the only thing that makes something bad is that it's racist.)

No, the only objection by the left to the left's new pogroms on Jews is that it might get some Republicans elected.

The New York Times has now stealth-edited the headline, without noting it's been changed, or explaining why it's been changed.

The Left would eagerly support Hitler if he opened a twitter account and started calling for violence against Trump and Rand Paul.
