#2Sometimes, when I'm reading random articles (like this one), I'm struck with the feeling that most journalists inhabit the same tiny, tiny world.
There are definitely some laughs to be found skimming @drils Twitter, though.

#3Sometimes, when I'm reading random articles (like this one), I'm struck with the feeling that most journalists inhabit the same tiny, tiny world. There are definitely some laughs to be found skimming @drils Twitter, though.
I started interviewing people (across multiple different cities) for a new book I'm writing, and I'm shocked at how out of touch journalism has become.
I expected progressive / left leaning answers from late 20s/early 30s people. On issues like healthcare/marijuana the answers were what I expected. On issues of dating/love/gender roles, I found a far more traditional response from both men and women (including several who LGBTQ+). A total 180 from what my online reading has led me to believe.
Also, and my sample size is only ~30 so far, a total distrust/antagonism towards many feminist ideas. A common answer I received was: "I love the push for equal opportunities for men and women, but I desire [traditional gender role] and I dislike having to justify it to myself."

Care to elaborate?

#5Anyone on Twitter who doesn't follow Dril shouldn't be on Twitter. His Instagram is good too. I consider this to be his most important tweet of all time: https://twitter.com/dril/status/473265809079693312?s=20&t=Xd... which is the perfect troll against nihilistic / contrarian nerds

My new game is watching when something online doesn’t interview people directly but simply reports on what someone on Twitter or Reddit said (and half the time they do have a picture and a name it’s a Twitter user they contacted).
The world outside the internet is getting wider and wider it seems.

> On issues of dating/love/gender roles, I found a far more traditional response from both men and women AND trans people.
Slight nit in that (most) trans people would also fall under men and women. (Sorry to be that person, it's just something I've learned a lot about semi-recently.)
Curious to hear an elaboration on the definition of "far more traditional response" - I can think of a few things that could mean, and some of them I would find surprising and some I wouldn't.

Good observation. It's the purest form of intellectual laziness.
