Life goal: To have someone publish, after I die, "The collected essays, blog posts, online chats and emails of Gabriel Seah"
Eating lots of salad makes me feel like a white girl. Maybe I should eat more yong tau hoo and fish soup to connect with my roots
"Swiss style cooking teaches you the value of good ingredients. Asian style cooking teaches you the value of good sauces."
University admissions and job candidate selection are basically exercises in objectification
""Peter Pan men" "refuse to grow up" "video game escapism"
"Man up and marry"
Feminists talk a lot about freedom from gender performance, but they have a rather narrow script of approved behaviours for men to follow
So why do feminists rail on MGTOW? They can't be bothered with sex (no rape), leave women alone (no harassment), and just entertain themselves with a subsistence level life playing video games (no competition for empowering jobs).

If, as animal rights activists say, we have moral responsibility to some animals, isn't it discrimination to not care about others (e.g. in the wild)? Unless you're talking about the distinction between positive and negative duties, but then Peter Singer says it's immoral to not donate most of your income for the welfare of kids halfway around the world whom you
