Watching the bear vs man in forest stories & I remember when our 9-year-old son said some boys at recess offered to play with him if 'he hugged & kissed a girl.'

He replied, "No, that's inappropriate," & told us he didn't mind not being able to play with those boys after all. Later his teacher shared she was happy he stood up to peer pressure.

Y'all—it's never too early to teach boys about consent & boundaries. Have the convo. Then again. And again. Boys will be the boys we teach them to be.

@QasimRashid I don't see how it is indicative of my character to be upset to be painted with such a broad brush. I think we would all see how harmful it is to compare, say, black people to wild dangerous animals. I'm disappointed you can't see it here. Men are people and deserve as much respect as anyone else based on our humanity alone.

@petealexharris I don't think you would say the same to a black person, or a Muslim. You shouldn't be judgemental of men either. It's just as exclusionary and discriminatory.

@petealexharris Their feelings are valid. What I'm saying is that mine are just as valid. Women can and should do what they need to feel safe. That doesn't mean I'm obligated to accept being demeaned by virtue of being a member of a certain group.

My beef is not with individuals that have feelings or experiences with strange men. My beef is with people that argue that those feelings are universally validated and that the demonization is deserved, actually.

China just launched another ambitious lunar mission. Is NASA falling behind?

China is going. NASA is talking about going. What gives?

@arstechnica America is eating itself and there is no profit to be made this quarter by going to the Moon. The shareholders won't allow it.
