The emails that went out on our sorority list serve circa 2011 make this text look like a hug from your mom (if your mom was telling you to eat box).

There was a (in)famous leaked email from ~15 years ago. A sorority leader was absolutely laying into her sisters for not being fun and approachable during mixers with the frats. It was profane, crazy, and hilarious.

Reading that was like a good chat with an ex. Horrible and nostalgic at the same time 😆

There are two kinds of brotherhoods: the individual fraternities/sororities themselves, and the brotherhood of Presidents of those organizations. I served back in the email days, so there is a listserv archive full of emails like this from me. The one I am proudest of demanded that everyone come to that week's chapter meeting, then listed all of the problem sets and exams I had that week, then closed, "if you tell me you have too much work to come to the house meeting, make sure to have a change of clothes, because I will laugh in your face until I puke."

Imagine the cunt punt email but about showing up for the PB&J fundraiser with the PiKE boys.

It’s weird to me people reply to tweets or to replies to tweets at all anymore. Like, what are we expecting to accomplish by telling off the “who’s watching the kids” gal? Might as well be talking to the naked man on the train platform. There are deeper issues and you’re not going to solve them here.

Yes! I am fascinated by the personality type of the person who does stuff like this. Who is this for? is it for virtual high fives? what is going on

I think it tickles the part of the brain that wants to have a responsive conversation, but doesn't know that it's responding to bots who look like people and people who look like bots.

Yeah! And those weirdos commenting on Substack, too.

I think subscribers’ comments on articles are a bit more like participating in a community whereas Twitter always seemed to me like strangers yelling at each other. I guess the similar feature on substack is the notes? I don’t use those much.

More cunnilingus is actually a good thing. Good for the men!

In one of Sherlock Holmes' most famous stories, the clue was the dog didn't bark in the night. We live in an age where the dog always barks.

Your bit about the fit moms reminded me of this xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2071/

Twitter really is just a machine for generating these, huh

Re: the Fit Mom, the issue isn’t the fitness, it’s the 4 babies in 4 years part. That’s objectively not healthy, you need to space your pregnancies further apart! I’m glad it worked out for her but that’s an excellent way to lose all your teeth and bone density.

I'd bet there's a little bit of inventive math being employed there.

I would certainly hope these guys are going down on their ladies without having to be asked, or without being TOLD to by another dude, how weird. That's just common decency. And why would they not want to?

Assuming these are random hookups I kinda get why they wouldn’t want to lol

Well, that wouldn't be for me at all anyway then. If I don't trust her or want her enough to go down on her that would almost feel like visiting the red-light district to me.

Ok, "visiting the red light district" is my new term for going down on my wife.

ProfessorChessDad's avatar

Hah, nice. And maybe I didn’t phrase it well, but what I meant was that to me having sex-sex without lots of oral included before and in the middle would be what is like going to the red light district. Just jackhammering some strange lady would not feel right to me.

Sexual virtue signaling on substack is wild. Who are you trying to impress?

ProfessorChessDad's avatar

The larger question here is why my description of a satisfying sex life involving prioritizing my wife's pleasure has triggered you so much that you are leaving a mean-spirited reply like this. Anything you'd like to get off your chest? Lovers not centering your pleasure sufficiently?

CHH's channel and content are filled with her sharing sexual content graphically and openly, and many commenters on her feed also do so. If you'd like, I can signal vice as well: I once ran over a squirrel with my car. I kind of half-cheated on a test in school. Is there any more I must confess to meet with your approval? I supplicate myself before thee.

Come on, man, it’s not like there isn’t a large subset of men out there who don’t run to the comments or wherever being like “well *I* enjoy cunnilingus and my wife thinks I’m So GrEaT” every time box munching is mentioned. Men don’t brag like this about getting their female partners off with their hands, or their penis, or anything else. It is a large-scale thing that happens and it’s virtue-signally as hell and I don’t have to have my pleasure decentered in my own relationship to notice that there are a lot of guys who love to do this shit. Which is why I was asking who you were bragging to, especially since your wife seems to be having a lovely time.

I am not very online and I haven't seen it happening much elsewhere, other than a little bit in some CHH comments. I don't understand why you find this so objectionable that I and other men (apparenty, I wouldn't know as I'm minimally online, only seeing 6 or so Substacks) would mention it when it is brought up topically as it was first thing in this article. You protest too much. Relax. You're behaving just like the angered repliers that CHH so often brings up in Many Such Takes.

The AI fat-woman bridge-destroyer video reminds me of how scam messages used to have obvious problems to cheaply filter out people who would never fall for it.

I wonder how many of the Reel replies were bots, how many were people performing a response to feel connected, and how many were actual sincere responses cheering on the cartoonish child rescue.

I am irrationally--or entirely rationally--incensed by a plot that has a y-axis range of 0 to 100 with no additional context.

Meta as a company feels like leaning fully into AI slop - like instagram now has some AI bots like “your mom” too…

And knowing multiple ppl working there, i have such a mixed feeling lmao

Regarding Fit Mom, I reckon a good practice is to not assume every happy/successful person is doing it *at you.*
