Thread about having compassion for incels:https://twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/status/1115461926098616320 …
QC added,
QC @QiaochuYuanRespect for writing about this. The treatment of incels in popular discourse has been so uncompassionate and I'm so mad about it. Incels are suffering and there are no structures in place to help them. I have many thoughts.

Thread about status-seeking as a response to social instability, and redirecting that towards cultivating committed relationships:https://twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/status/1127439358934433792 …
QC added,
QC @QiaochuYuanStabilize communities. Status-seeking behavior is a reflexive response to a lack of social stability; you can get millions of Twitter followers but still not have a single person who loves you enough to bring you soup when you're sick. https://twitter.com/_TamaraWinter/status/1126836542922792960 …Show this thread1 reply 1 retweet 2 likesShow this thread -

Thread about my changing experience of masculinity:https://twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/status/1138936401376845825 …
QC added,
QC @QiaochuYuanI grew up watching TV shows and movies where overtly sexual men were the villains. I learned that male sexuality - my sexuality - was fundamentally hurtful to women, and that in order to earn the love of a woman I needed to be a perfect gentleman instead. So I tried that.
