What exactly is a “frequent flyer dater?” Match, an online dating platform, defines it as someone who mixes business with pleasure while on the road and, apparently, it is becoming increasingly popular.

Match and travel site Localeur have teamed up to provide customers with a list of recommendations provided by locals on which dating hotspots they should hit up while they’re in town or on a business trip.

“Leisure travelers have been the primary source of Localeur’s users for years, but working with Match has allowed us to service the growing needs of business travelers,” Joah Spearman, CEO of Localeur, told Black Enterprise. “By partnering with Match, we’ve been able to bring more value to busy business travelers—whom we’ve deemed “frequent flyer daters”—who don’t want to stop their social lives just because they’re in a new city. This partnership, much like our work with JetBlue Airways, further demonstrates the desire from travelers for more authentic recommendations from locals.”

White women are back at it again, tormenting Black people minding their own business, and using their Beckyphones to call the cops on aforementioned Black people. Over the weekend D’Arreion Toles, who lives in St. Louis, Mo. became the latest target of this racist phenomena after a white woman blocked his entrance into his condominium […]

In general, I hate giving the slightest bit of attention to Piers Morgan. The man has no discernable talents besides trolling, and he certainly makes the most of that. He especially loves to criticize women for not doing feminism right (as he sees it), but he’s also been known to proudly peacock his incredibly fragile (and incredibly toxic) masculinity around like a badge of honor. See the latest example: this tweet about Daniel Craig caring for his daughter.

Oh 007.. not you as well?!!! #papoose #emasculatedBond pic.twitter.com/cqWiCRCFt3

Yes, apparently Craig is “emasculated” because he carried his child around town in a papoose. He tried to clarify in another tweet, saying it wasn’t the childcaring part that emasculated this Bond, but the fact that he didn’t use his manly arms to carry the child like a man’s man.

He’s not carrying it, that’s my point. He’s using an emasculating papoose.
James Bond would never use a papoose to carry his babies. https://t.co/6aZZSFUEjy

Guess what, though! That’s not any less sexist. Piers loves to tell people they’re exhibiting their gender wrong, as if he’s a knowledgeable arbiter of what “good” feminism or acceptable masculinity looks like. He isn’t. But also, the idea that men can only use their arms to carry their children is prohibitive to anything more than casual caregiving. I’m sure Daniel Craig does pick his children up sometimes. But these types of hands-free child carriers are tools designed to fully incorporate babies into a parent’s life. Insisting that parents only use their arms to carry their children is totally impractical (not to mention ableist). But of course, he’s not saying parents shouldn’t do that, only fathers. Men can pick their children up, play with them a bit, and then set them down when they need to do something else. To parent so fully that you need the use of a tool like this is “women’s work.”
