Quick Glance: Andrew Tate brutally mocked for claiming sex with women is gay

Self-proclaimed misogynist influencer Andrew Tate has been ruthlessly mocked online after claiming it’s “gay” for men to have sex with women for pleasure.

The 37-year-old, who is currently detained in Romania awaiting criminal trial on rape and human trafficking charges, insisted in a post on X that sex is solely “for making children” and that any man who has sex for pleasure is gay.

His bizarre comments come days after he labeled men “losers” over the perceived drop in birth rates among white people. In the earlier post, Tate shared his thoughts that white men’s “genetic potential was stumped” and that they will be replaced if they do not have children.

Quick Glance: Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 Rape Conviction Overturned

New York's highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, disappointing those who celebrated historic gains during the #MeToo era.

The ruling was based on legal technicalities and did not exonerate Weinstein's behavior, according to #MeToo advocates.

Weinstein, convicted in Los Angeles for another rape, will face retrial in New York, despite remaining in prison.

The court criticized the admission of uncharged sexual acts as evidence, deeming it an abuse of judicial discretion.

Quick Glance: UN Calls for Investigation into Mass Graves at Two Gaza Hospitals

The United Nations called for a thorough and transparent investigation into the mass graves at two major hospitals in Gaza that were searched by Israeli troops.

It was emphasized that investigators must have access to the sites, and a greater number of journalists should be able to work safely in Gaza to report on the facts.

Some of the bodies belonged to individuals killed during the hospital siege, while others were victims when Israeli forces raided the hospital.

The discovery of the graves highlights the urgency of a ceasefire, the end of the conflict, improved access for humanitarian aid, the protection of hospitals, and the release of Israeli hostages.

The Transportation Department will require airlines to automatically refund fares when flights are canceled or delayed and to reveal more about extra fees before booking.

The department's new rules target the issues of refunds and surprise fees late in the booking process.

Passenger advocates welcome the new steps as a massive improvement in consumer rights and passenger protection.

Starting in October, the new D.O.T. rules will include a unified definition for a "significant" delay.
