Matt Yglesias joined Tyler for a wide-ranging conversation on his vision for a bigger, less politically polarized America outlined in his new book One Billion Americans: The Case for Thinking Bigger.. They discussed why it’s easier to grow Tokyo than New York City, the governance issues of increasing urban populations, what Tyler got right about pro-immigration arguments, how to respond to declining fertility rates, why he’d be happy to see more people going to church (even though he’s not religious), why liberals and conservatives should take marriage incentive programs more seriously, what larger families would mean for feminism, why people should read Robert Nozick, whether the YIMBY movement will be weakened by COVID-19, how New York City will bounce back, why he’s long on Minneapolis, how to address constitutional ruptures, how to attract more competent people to state and local governments, what he’s learned growing up in a family full of economists, his mother’s wisdom about visual design and more..

Sexuality is, and always has been, a topic that is endlessly fascinating but also contentious. You might think that asexuality would be more straightforward, but you’d be wrong. Asexual people, or “aces,” haven’t been front and center in the public discussion of gender and sexuality, and as a result there is confusion about such basic issues as what “asexuality” even means. Angela Chen is a science journalist and an ace herself, and she’s written a new book about asexuality and how it fits into the wider discussion of sex and gender. Precisely because sexuality is so taken for granted by many people, thinking about asexuality not only helps us understand the issues confronting aces, but the meaning of sexuality more broadly.. Angela Chen received a B.A. in comparative literature from UC San Diego. She is a contributing editor at Catapult magazine, and her writings have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Vox Media, The Atlantic, MIT Technology Review, and elsewhere. Her new book is Ace: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex.

In this year’s Aotearoa New Zealand General Election, the people will also vote in a referendum on whether the recreational use of cannabis should become legal.. The referendum question is based on the proposed Cannabis Legalisation and Control Bill, which has been developed to help give voters an idea of how the law might work. The Bill sets out the regulation regime that would legalise the production, possession and uses of cannabis for those aged 20 years and older. The proposed law will ban items designed to appeal to young people, set a four-year prison term for selling to under-20-year-olds and allow cannabis ‘cafes’ to open.. In an upcoming UC Connect panel discussion on the evening of Wednesday 9 September, experts from a range of disciplines will discuss the Cannabis legislation and control referendum, one of two due to take place in the 2020 election.. The UC Connect panel on the Cannabis law referendum will include: • Professor Neil Boister to discuss the legal obligations connected to legalising cannabis.. • Dr Sarah Whitcombe-Dobbs on the health impacts connected to legalising cannabis.. • Dr Rachael Dixon on education issues connected to legalising cannabis.. • Dr Jarrod Gilbert on the impact on those previously criminalised for a cannabis if it’s decriminalised.. The host/moderator will be Professor Alex Tan, Head of UC Political Science and International Relations.
More Evidence That Kids of Gay Parents Do Just Fine. Studies show children raised by 2 moms or 2 dads consider themselves ‘different,’ but stigma is lessening. Please note: This article was published more than one year ago. The facts and conclusions presented may have since changed and may no longer be accurate. And “More information” links may no longer work. The children’s average age was 8. Led by Rachel Farr, a research assistant professor of psychology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, researchers interviewed both children and parents.
Nearly 80 percent of the boys and girls said they felt “different” from other children because of their parents. August 4, 2015 More evidence that kids of gay parents do just fine by Alan Mozes, Healthday Reporter Studies show children raised by 2 moms or. More evidence that kids of gay parents do just fine 4 August 2015, by Alan Mozes, Healthday Reporter Studies show children raised by 2 moms or 2 dads. A great deal of evidence has supported the notion that children of gay parents are no worse off than children of straight parents.
And now a ne. Kids raised by gay parents are ‘doing just fine’. BOSTON U. (US) — Three decades of research suggest that kids of gay parents are faring well, a new report argues. When the Supreme Court. Kids of gay parents fare worse, study finds, but research draws fire from experts just as we do among straights.
We need to study Regnerus’ sample and fix. Multiple studies have been conducted over the years, countless research has been carried out and endless debates have been had, all to show one thing. That the children of gay parents do just. On 25 of 40 outcome measures, adult children who reported their mother had a same-sex romantic relationship fared poorly compared to children raised by intact biological married parents. This.
The “no differences” theory that children of gay parents—married or not—do not substantially differ from the children of married, heterosexual parents has now been called into question.
List of related literature:
These is also some evidence that children with gay and lesbian parents may not fare as well as those with heterosexual parents.
Specifically, children and adolescents raised by lesbian mothers or gay fathers do not differ from other children on measures of emotional development, such as empathy and emotional regulation (Bos, Knox, van Rijn-van Gelderen, & Gartrell, 2016; Farr, 2017).
What these interviews suggest is that like their children who try to push aside same-sex attractions, parents also try to ignore the signs that their sons or daughters are gay.
• Many studies have demonstrated that children of homosexual parents show no significant differences in their emotional and social adaptation, self-esteem, gender identity, sexual behavior, or sexual orientation than their counterparts raised by heterosexual parents (Garfield, 2009).
Some evidence also suggests that same-sex parents, particularly lesbian parents, are less likely to promote gender stereotypical behaviors in their children (Biblarz & Stacey, 2010).
Indeed, there is evidence that younger children tend to have the least difficulty accepting and in tum disclosing their parents’ sexual orientation, while adolescents disclose less frequently (e.g., Lewis M, Lynch and Murray M).
The researchers wrote: “Children with [homosexual] parents appear less traditionally gender-typed and more likely to be open to homoerotic relationships.”
Specifically, children and adolescents raised by lesbian mothers or gay fathers do not differ from other children on measures of emotional development, such as empathy and emotional regulation (Bos, Knox, van Rijn-van Gelderen, & Gartrell, 2016; Farr, 2017; Patterson, 2017).
Finally, although research also shows that children with LGBTQ parents are as well adjusted as children with heterosexual parents, they do face additional challenges, such as discrimination in their communities and bullying by their peers (AACAP, 2013).

before any terminology was coined, 17th century author and poet Catherine Bernard wrote various works that have since been read as relating to asexuality. her views of love, sex, marriage, and personal affairs (or lack thereof) speak to the asexual experience. here’s an article about her and her works for more information.
Josie Huang…we want our stolen tax given to you back. All of it or I’m putting a lien on all you have. Got a kid? It will have a lien on it. Your time’s up, get out now while you can. Someones are sick of freaks like you. Move to a socialist country, move anywhere just out of here thief.
We have gone so far down the rabbit hole of trading our values away that we have inculcated it our western societies. Its most pronounced in the American left and American multinationals, European Governments namely Germany acting in coordination with its Multinationals (Nord Stream2 is another back stab by the Germans) all in the name of Globalization and the FICTION they tried to sell us that China will be persuaded to democratize as a result. Only these parties have held on to the fiction even as the world began to shake in the rise of what the Left called right wing movements with President Trump best epitomizing the rejection in fighting back against the phony promise of Globalization which almost amounted to EU and Chinafication.
The primary problem with seeing the truth of this issue is the disassociation the EU has with the Spirit behind LAW and its persistent failure to use the instruments of international law accordingly. Worst still is how previous prime ministers of the UK and the American Left add credibility to such a failure to recognize the need for the spirit of the law to be implemented, throw their weight behind such an ominous turn on the future of Democracy in the world. I fear for us all if we do not stand up and confront the corruption of international institutions and recognize the EUs out sized influence in them.
I would argue, the extent to which the rise of the right actually knows what it is rejecting has not yet dawned upon them but so far Trump has landed some great blows. What is needed is someone who can constellate a coherent idea for how to address what is coalescing to be the new threat of the post cold war era.
Query How can we demonstrate the problem in the USA we call “Systemic Racism” as sharing the same characteristics of the EUs use of international Law? By a simple terminology of course. Because “Systemic Racism” and the chronic corruption of the use of any lawful system can only be considered as one in the same kind of creature, Corruption.
Sean: “…any deviation from the norm is seen as illness.”
I love that line. I have been thinking about that for years. For a long time introverts were thought of as just shy people with low confidence or people with the disorder ‘social anxiety’ because most people love to party and so the others are clearly just anti-social weirdos.
Vegans used to be considered weird hippies who hug trees and don’t get enough protein. Now there’s a massive and disruptive cultural shift towards a vegan society. Eventually meat eaters will be seen as weird because they’ll be the minority.
Autism is seen as a disorder but I know some autistic people who are far superior to the vast majority of people at certain skills and abilities. What if some of these things aren’t disorders but just part of evolution; minority mutations, some of which will be to the detriment and some to the advantage.
In a sex-obsessed society perhaps the asexuals have the advantage. Think of the time, energy and mental capacity that would be available for creative pursuits and problem solving if we weren’t thinking about sex every 90 seconds and spending a good chunk of our lives pursuing it, worrying about it and talking about it.
Yes there is male and female “roles” in a proper marriage. Your mommies certainly have brainwashed you haven’t they and now you’ve grown up into one of those soft liberals who will tolerate anything even if it’s wrong
as an asexual person myself, it’s difficult to deal with feeling both under-represented and excluded, both in cishet society AND lgbtq+ circles. the general conception regarding asexuality, in my experience, is that it’s a new identity, specifically a ‘tumblr snowflake’ identity, it’s not real, it’s a medical condition, etc etc. not only is this perspective genuinely hurtful and damaging, it’s just plain wrong.
love this video and it describes this situation perfectly. Shes been raised so well and she carries a sophisticated aura 100%. I disagree with the Mother/Father roles. Sure your parents no matter what the sex can teach you many things but a father could never bond with his child the way a mother could and vice versa. it’s very different not to have a father/mother role in your life and it’s hard at times.
We need more people to represent those like me-the Solos. Not single, which implies lack of coupling. Full solo. I dont feel incomplete being Solo. I get a lot more done as well. But I still get more shit for this than any gay person I know.
Discrimination against asexual people, also known as acephobia[1][2][3] or aphobia,[4][5][6] encompasses a range of negative attitudes, behaviours, and feelings toward asexuality or people who identify as part of the asexual spectrum. Negative feelings or characterisations toward asexuality include dehumanisation, the belief that asexuality is a mental illness, that asexual people cannot feel love, and the refusal to accept asexuality as a genuine sexual orientation. Asexuality is sometimes confused with celibacy or abstinence.[7] Asexual people sometimes face hate crimes, and the discrimination against them has been compared to that faced by other sexual minorities.[8][9]
There have been efforts to combat anti-asexual discrimination through legislation or education (such as through workshops on asexuality).
