Welcome to Many Such Takes, my twice-monthly roundup of Internet drama and discourse (mostly Twitter) and funny happenings online. If you enjoy a good guilty pleasure of unhinged discourse, this is for you. If it’s not your kind of thing, I implore you to check out my other recent articles, because while publishing 4-5 times a week, there’s always something for someone.
Also, I need more respondents for some of my latest surveys!
Please take this survey about romantic and platonic socialization. Everyone is eligible, but it would be extra helpful for me to get more autistic and neurodivergent respondents.
Plus, another new study on sexuality and hypotheticals
And please take this one on your social life and how it intersects with your career (or lack thereof)
Ideal Woman
Look, I’ve ignored the (extremely tired) discourse about Sydney Sweeney’s new ad because I just can’t bring myself to care about it either way, so at least let me comment on this:
Aria Schrecker (who has in the past done some interesting work on men’s physical preferences- where we mostly align on the facts, actually, and I will elaborate on that soon) put together this mockup via AI of the ideal woman, along with a full body image which you can find below, in a reply, but also in her full post on the topic.
Since her article uses my previous arguments as something to counter, I feel I should clear up where I stand on this analysis.
