Review of the soon-to-be-released The Queering of the American Child by Logan Lancing and James Lindsay
Hi everyone, I haven't been active in Solid Ground for a while, but I am still alive and kicking!

If you go to an extreme and you become a boutique kind of a proposition, then you're going to lose the you're going to lose the argument."
Palmeri: "How do Democrats win back white men like yourself?"
Fetterman: "I don't know, and truthfully, I'm not sure. I'm not sure if that's possible, to be honest.
Men are to blame or their, their masculinity is ...
