In today’s society, men face biases in areas like family court, mental health, and societal expectations, while trans men face challenges related to gender identity, medical transition, and social acceptance. But which group do you think experiences more societal bias overall? Do men deal with more unspoken discrimination, or do trans men face greater societal pushback?

I have reason to believe that more people per capita (specifically referring to white men) found black women attractive back then. I believe this was for some reasons:

- Black women styled their hair differently back then (Look up black women in 1950’s)

- Tight-knit communities (even among European descendants) like Irish being connected to Irish communities

- Perceptions of societal disruptions if black people and white people were to interact in certain ways due to beliefs in ways of life being tied to races

Lots of memes and tweets and posts and videos are popping up, assuring women that they can keep their votes secret from their husbands and boyfriends. The unspoken assumption is that lots of women are bullied, intimidated or controlled by their partners, specifically in straight couples when she wants to vote for Harris and he supports Trump. The messages assure these intimidated voters that they can vote in peace and privacy at a polling place. But a lot of Americans now vote by mail, which generally means they fill out their ballots at home, where that privacy may not be available.

Jesse Watters tells his wife that secretly voting for Kamala Harris would be like ‘having an affair’

For me it’s a red flag. If a girl respects you wouldn’t she want to show you her loyalty by not having guy friends? I don’t think a man secure with himself would accept it.

I thought this would be like an unspoken rule. I wouldn’t keep female friendships. Maybe still acknowledge them but not be close to them.

⚾ has been RIGHTLY criticized for being BORING for the reasons below. Is there any way to make it more engaging?

Pace. There is no clock in baseball, for teams and players to race against.

Action stoppages. Baseball has many gaps in action, even beyond the inaction between every out or successful base hit.

Game intricacies. Too much knowledge needed about history and fine details that announcers talk about.

Less violence. Among the major team sports, baseball has less body-to-body contact, which thanks to the television viewers have become accustomed to receiving.

Unfavorable television portrayal. The baseball field and game are not well-suited for TV. Most action comes from pitcher to batter, so the main view comes from centerfield. Then it jumps from angle to angle, with a lot of stops. The other sports have perfect rectangles for the tube.

Over-emphasized home runs. To compete with fast-scoring sports, as well as for television viewers, HRs instead of contact leads to a lot of strikeouts and standing around.

Low scoring. Broadly, scoring in baseball is low, probably behind both soccer and hockey in that realm. Modern audiences like to see scoring often.

Celebration scarcity. Baseball players and teams just don’t celebrate like those in other major team sports. Maybe it’s just part of the sport’s tradition, maybe it’s an unspoken word among players, but a little more hootin’ and hollerin’ could make fans more excited.

Lengthy games. Baseball contests are just too long, mainly in terms of time. Pro games have stretched from 2 hours in the 1960s to 3- and even 4-hour affairs today.

Overly cerebral. Attention spans went from 3 hours with the Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1860 to 22 minutes with television, then 7 minutes with the internet, and down to a few seconds with social media and smartphones. Baseball is called a “thinking man’s game" perhaps not fit for modern audiences.
