2. Imo, it's degenerated into nothing more than a social media mob insult.

That happened almost immediately, of course (even faster than the manifacture of "antifa" to mean "-fa(scist)" by the right). What better insult to fling at male opponents?

For those who've forgotten, the insult "incel" was subverted from discussion of the significant increase in the number of men who are involuntarily celibate (because an empowered female gender needs fewer men) and fear they will never be able to marry and have families.

3. A young English fast bowler

has been dropped from the team because of racists tweets uncovered. Word is that there is another one who will soon be exposed.

Someone should tell these racists, young and old, that social media is not private.

5. Threats. (Not treats.)
