Hey, women, are you still doing the NYT's wordle? or reading their cooking stuff? their book stuff? their political essays or advice columns? Listen to their fucking podcasts?

Part of your subscription fees are paying for THIS.

Consider shunning the NYT for life.

@herhandsmyhands

Ross "the sexual revolution created new winners and losers" Douthat published this, which prompted me to cancel the subscription my grandmother had gifted me and when they called to offer me a discount and ask why I had cancelled, I told them.

@herhandsmyhands yet people still pay for the Times…

@herhandsmyhands Play Squaredle instead and get recipes elsewhere.

hello wordl

A word-guessing game

@bjb Lots of options that don't involve handing money to fascists! Nice!

@herhandsmyhands

BTW, you can still access much of that without a subscription. You can take their stuff and give them no money.

@jztusk Or you can NOT give it views at all.

@herhandsmyhands

Yeah, I'm glad if people choose to do that. But I'd also like the Wordle-addicted to help starve them of money.

If we can destroy the NYT more quickly by including the wishy-washy, I'll take the wishy-washy.

@herhandsmyhands I like how they talk about liberal feminism; it's at least the second reference (this time implicit) to a conservative feminism, as if something like that could have ever existed without the centuries of progressive, left-wing fights against everything conservatism means.

Gift link if you'd like to see exactly how bad it is up close: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/opinion/women-workplace-feminism-conservative.html?unlocked_article_code=1.zE8.9Qra.mEZC2VB75Bje

It's an episode of a podcast where the host has two guests on.

> Helen, you recently wrote an essay entitled “The Great Feminization” that attracted some commentary on the internet and argued, at least in my gloss, that feminism has failed us because it’s made our institutions too feminized, driving men and masculine virtues out.
>
> And Leah, you have a new book called “The Dignity of Dependence,” where you suggest that liberal feminism has failed us by forcing women to suppress their nature and fit into workplaces and social systems made for men.

And then they debate who is right.

And if so, can conservative feminism fix it?

The New York Times

I keep reading and it keeps getting worse

> So I think I will restrict myself to the judgment on which I am confident, which is that the pathology in our institutions known as wokeness is distinctively feminine and feminized. And that, in a very literal sense, our institutions have gone woke because there are more women in them than there used to be.

@AVincentInSpace any motherfucker who could write or say that with a straight face is a wet piece of shit.
@AVincentInSpace full-on fash trash, damn
@AVincentInSpace @herhandsmyhands I think I might combust of rage if I actually read the article because that quote. Fucking incredible.
People say pseudointellectuals are guys who pretend to read a lot of books but I'm pretty sure pseudointellectuals are these kinda assholes.
@AVincentInSpace thanks for this summary, I accidentally read the article by the first person, so I have no intention of looking more closely at this dumpster fire.
@herhandsmyhands

@herhandsmyhands

Yeah Fuck Off The New York Times, Fuck All The Way Off and then keep Fucking Off into eternity...

@herhandsmyhands Are women about to ruin the New York Times by showing the NYT the consequences of this foolishness?

Stay tuned!

@herhandsmyhands But aren't we kind of glad that the mask is off at the NYT, and everyone can stop pretending they're worth reading?

Possibly related: I've had a filter for the NYT for a few months on Mastodon, and it's awesome.

@herhandsmyhands

Don't have to subscribe to do Wordle

@herhandsmyhands side question: what do women readers gravitate when they open the paper in the morning? Any data on that?
@herhandsmyhands wordle was originally just a simple js app, and it's still available as one, no nyt affiliation required.

@herhandsmyhands

Greedy capitalists and the stock market ruined the workspace.

@herhandsmyhands Oh look, it's a couple of examples of those newspaper headlines done as questions that can always be answered with NO.

@herhandsmyhands The NYT, the newspaper that wrote puff pieces for Adolf Hitler in 1938.

Yeah, so little has changed.

@herhandsmyhands The problem is that "conservative feminism" is a paradox. Imagine women voting for less rights than their parents...
@herhandsmyhands and people think I'm too extreme when I tell them trans rights are my canary in the coal mine.
