There is no sexual element to that. Having close and strong companions was a trait every man admired. Doesn't make it gay




It's the fact that multiple ancient writers felt the need to mention it that makes it come across as such a strong hint. But again, it's not definitive proof.

Yawn. There are what..2 or 3 other countries that care enough to have full time women's basketball

Want to talk about dynasty? We have a local fund raising Corporate Cup run every year. Business of all kinds participate ...so people whose day job is banking, coding, law, etc etc vs....the winner every year...the running store that organized the event .. whose employees /sponsored runners participate the event .,

Same concept with American women's team sports (especially the one we invented)

Well, it’s a systemic attack on Western culture, and us as a living breathing people. And they’re attacking all facets of our existence.

Everything they push damages us, drug use, pornography, open borders, discouraging marriage and children, transgenderism, race quotas in hiring that weed us out, stoking street violence against us, mixed income housing, dropping tens of thousands of foreigners in our communities…

The ADLs definition of racism is perhaps the simplest window into how they see us



They simply don’t like us, and that apparently necessitates our destruction.

I don’t think they’ll be successful though, people are starting to take the problem seriously

Nike promoting DEI. While manufacturing shoes in Chinese sweatshops. Slave labor of women and children.

Dear Nike- a dynasty greater than men's sports?
How many millions have you raked in from those customers?

Step onto the court or the field ladies. High school male teams will absolutely disgrace you in the game.

Liberal academics/activists have been trying to assert that a lot of historical figures were gay, selling it by relying on the grey, incomplete accounts of history.


Most of it is based on basically "he mourned too much" for Hephaestion from sources written hundreds of years after his death.

These liberals love to use the lack of primary sources as an excuse to impose their world views on history.

This is psychological operations.

They are breeding a new generation of man-hating crazies.

Fair enough.

Yet, my point stands.

They hate who I noted.

no forensic evidence of course.

But like all our knowledge of historical characters, the known scribes of the time provide insights that can be referenced without apology.

Many of the he-men of antiquity had bi-sexual episodes implied by the literature.

Alexander the great vs the WNBA. I'm going with Alexander the great. WNBA can't even conquer a decent share of the basketball market. ..while Alexander conquered much of the known world..

Everything we know about Alexander was written like 300 years after he died. We really know less than we think we know.
