Many Such Takes: Fairy Slurs, Sydney Sweeney Interview, Porn Star for Husband, and More
The most unhinged discourse of the week, always free
Welcome to Many Such Takes! For those unfamiliar, this is a free weekly segment (I also do lots of other stuff—you can typically expect 4-5 paid posts a week too!) For Many Such Takes, I stay up to date with the latest and most chaotic Twitter discourse so you don’t have to.
Also, in case you’re thinking of upgrading to paid, you will get access to CHH CHAT, a chat channel on Substack full of men, women, and people of different political affiliations and sexual orientations who manage to discuss hot topics like sex, dating, parenting, or even politics without killing each other. Join us!!
Also, listen to my free Trump impression this week!
Fairy Slurs
Just as you thought Twitter was a right-wing AI-generated slop bucket, it turns out it still has the juice! Because this week, we got some great discourse in the form of “N-word for fairies.”
The plot thickens. In case you thought this person was a teenager, THEY ARE NOT:
Some other great replies:
I hope this person is subscribed to CHH for Many Such Takes:
One person pointed out that they had basically made a meme come to life, drawing from a 2010s-era Tumblr satire thread:
Generally, this was enjoyable discourse. I miss this kind of thing. Twitter monetization has incentivized a lot of the same rehashed rage bait that it takes real creativity to come up with this stuff. Thank you!
Sydney Sweeney Interview
This particular discourse escaped Twitter and absolutely flooded Substack for multiple days on end, so I had to cover it. Sydney Sweeney was interviewed by GQ and refused to apologize for her infamous American Eagle jeans ad, which included a play on the words “jeans” and “genes,” and which some liberals felt was racially insensitive.
I got the sense that the interviewer—who asked the questions in a very annoying way that can’t really be described as anything other than, as
put it:On Substack and Twitter, it also felt like the second coming of Gen Z Boss and a Mini, where everyone was just a little too out-for-blood over an annoying millennial woman who embodied all of their Karen/HR Lady/Mean Mommy anger fantasies (even if she was, as I said, fairly annoying)
But it wasn’t long before the people analyzing it became annoying too. Everyone is annoying!!
More importantly, the race scientists are on the case:
Porn Star for Husband
Another day, another inflammatorily sexual “tradwife” post that feels like it lacks decorum and modesty:
At first I was like, wait, this person seems familiar and then I remember I mentioned her in a previous article about the false belief (which I’m not entirely sure even the people saying really believe) that you shouldn’t go to college if you want to get married. Honestly, I don’t even want to talk about her that much specifically because she’s very obviously doing a bit, and I think in part she monetizes specifically be triggering gullible women who see this shit and say “Oh my GOD, I can’t believe a WOMAN would say that!!!!” so you know what? Not taking the bait. However, I do have to cover it because it was major discourse this week.
Oh, and before anyone accuses me of being one of the aforementioned frigid radfem triggered harridans, I wrote all about why having sex with your husband doesn’t count as domestic labor (and got shit for it, btw, so I earned my keep.) Anyway…
One person pointed out that the real aim was to get women to watch more porn:
I witnessed one of the more entertaining arguments I’ve seen on Twitter:
Anyway, how do I say this without sounding really mean…okay, I’m just going to say it. The most vocal supporters of the original tweet were all carbon-copy variations of the same “trad” bio but with a profile photo that contained a makeup look is, how do I say this, “giving Onlyfans.” Sorry, I had to say it! Something is going on! None of this feels very trad!
(Of course, continue to have enthusiastic sex with your husband. As I’ve said, I’ve advocated for that too. But this just feels like disingenuous bait.)
Anyway:
And, evergreen:
Is This Trad Stuff Just BDSM?
Yesterday, Twitter was graced with a a video of Lori Alexander, otherwise known as The Transformed Wife, or as I like to call her, Godmother of the Tradwives. I’ll give you a quick summary of the video: she describes meeting her husband of 44 years. In her words, she wasn’t physically attracted to him, she didn’t really get along with him, they argued all the time, and when he proposed he didn’t give her a ring or get down on one knee. For some reason she doesn’t quite explain why she had to say yes to this guy (surely, even the most Biblical tradwife would say you don’t have to submit yourself to every single man you meet?) But anyway, she said she felt he had “stolen her joy,” that she didn’t enjoy her wedding or her bridal shower, and that they had a rough patch for…wait for it…
Funny Tweets/Other Happenings
Sadly I am not responsible for finding this one, but someone in the “little space” (AKA adult baby fetish) community has thoughts about Ms. Rachel being an anti-zionist.
Unfortunately, Twitter-tier genderslop has made it to Substack:
Matt Yglesias caught Elon Musk using his AI chatbot to fantasize about having a girlfriend:
Bug Hall, best known for living in a tent in the woods with his wife and kids (I believe he eventually moved in with his wife’s parents), for deliberately seeking out a poorly educated woman to marry, and for huffing paint, has some very predictable takes on winning women back into conservatism:
But because this is Twitter, he got shit for…*checks notes* liking Jews too much:
In case you missed it…
Don't Get Sucked Into The Thoughtful Gesture Industrial Complex
Given that we just had Halloween, I discovered the concept of a “boo basket.” At first I assumed this was some kind of Halloween basket of candy and gifts for children, given to them by their parents. This seemed unnecessary, since we all know they will get plenty of candy (most of which will be thrown away or secretly eaten by parents anyway) on the actual night of Halloween.
"Boyfriends are Embarrassing" is Insecurity Repackaged as Cooties
For a long time, I’ve been very wary of falling into a trap wherein I see a bunch of unknown all-lowercase bloggers with names like thooshy or zuulia talking about a phenomenon, and I extrapolate it into a Thing that’s happening. Then, I get feedback that “






























Love seeing Matt Y dunk on Elon like that.
Some men are just begging to be posterized, they are born with a silver Jordan in their mouths, and Elon checks that box thoroughly.
Elon Musk is the epitome of that "Men will do anything but go to therapy" meme
