Photos of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ben-affleck">Ben Affleck</a> looking miserable at the 65th <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/grammys">Grammy Awards</a> alongside his new wife, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-lopez">Jennifer Lopez</a>, have been making the rounds on social media.
Fans are delighted with multiple shots of the 50-year-old actor sitting in the front row with a sour look on his face, which are all reminiscent of a viral meme featuring Affleck looking sad. 
Lopez and Affleck did not walk the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">red carpet</a> together, but they were spotted several times when cameras panned to them in the Grammys audience. One of those instances was during an appearance by Stevie Wonder, Chris Stapleton, and Smokey Robinson. Lopez looked like she was enjoying the show while her husband of six months seemed less than enthused.
“Ben Affleck would rather be anywhere else than front row at the [Grammys] watching Stevie Wonder crush Higher Ground,” one person <a href="https://twitter.com/mattwilstein/status/1622413284984123393">reacted</a> to the clip. 
“[H]owever bad of a day you’re having, I promise you’re not as miserable as Ben Affleck at the Grammys right now,” another Twitter user <a href="https://twitter.com/SpencerAlthouse/status/1622414464002695169">agreed</a>.

The “Good Will Hunting” actor had previously opened up about one of the original “sad Affleck” memes.
&#8220;I got to a place where [the public perception] was so different from who I am that I just stopped reading and stopped caring,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2022-01-07/ben-affleck-tender-bar-amazon">told</a> The Los Angeles Times last year of how fans saw him.
&#8220;But then, as my kids got older and started seeing the internet themselves, that&#8217;s the difficult part,” he continued. “Even the &#8216;Sad Affleck&#8217; meme — that was funny to me. I mean, there&#8217;s nobody who hasn&#8217;t felt that way at a junket. But then my kids see it and I think, &#8216;Oh, are they going to think their dad is fundamentally sad or they have to worry about me?&#8217; That&#8217;s really tough.&#8221;
The father of three made headlines last year when he married Lopez a full 18 years after their first engagement was called off.
“They feel like they are in the same place in life now and relate to each other on another level,” a source said at the time of their relationship, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ben-affleck-jennifer-lopez-get-married-18-years-after-first-engagement">reported</a>. “Ben feels younger around Jen and like she brings out his best self. He loves that he doesn’t have to try very hard and can just be himself. Jen loves being around Ben no matter what they are doing.”

Jennifer Lopez revealed the one movie role she wished she hadn&#8217;t turned down — in the 2002 romance, thriller &#8220;<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250797/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Unfaithful</a>&#8221; — with the leading roles going to Richard Gere and Diane Lane.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-lopez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">53-year-old</a> actress opened up about a wide variety of topics for <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/73-questions-with-jennifer-lopez">Vogue&#8217;s</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVAb-iLIwfA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">73 Questions with Jennifer Lopez</a> in a clip posted on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVAb-iLIwfA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">YouTube</a> on Wednesday. One of the questions from the magazine was &#8220;is there a movie you really regret turning down.&#8221;
&#8220;Unfaithful,&#8221; Lopez answered as she shook her head yes. She did not however explain what role it was she turned down.
When asked which of her movies she would most like to make a sequel to, her answer was the movie she and husband Ben Affleck met and starred in together, and that was &#8220;Gigli&#8221; that came out in 2003.

Among the other revelations the &#8220;Marry Me&#8221; star shared was what she would do if she could go &#8220;unrecognized for 24 hours.”
Her answer was simple: &#8220;walk through a crowd.&#8221;
Other questions arose such as what her favorite holiday is — to which Lopez replied, &#8220;Christmas&#8221; as she shared it’s the one time of year she eats those special foods like &#8220;pasteles&#8221; and &#8220;pernil.&#8221; She also said it&#8217;s her favorite because it&#8217;s &#8220;the most sparkly holiday of all.&#8221;
When asked by the magazine what she wanted for Christmas, the &#8220;Jenny From The Block&#8221; hitmaker replied, &#8220;I have everything I want.&#8221;
In a recent interview, the &#8220;Hustlers&#8221; star spoke about how she and Affleck found each other again for what she called their fairy-tale ending after she went through three marriages and two broken engagements, according to <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/jennifer-lopez-december-cover-2022-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vogue</a>.
According to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-lopez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lopez</a>, after she and former New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez called off their engagement, she got an email from Affleck, for whom she said she always felt &#8220;real love.&#8221; The two continued talking, then started seeing each other privately.
&#8220;Obviously we weren&#8217;t trying to go out in public,&#8221; the singer explained. &#8220;But I never shied away from the fact that for me, I always felt like there was a real love there, a true love there. People in my life know that he was a very, very special person in my life. When we reconnected, those feelings for me were still very real.&#8221;
Lopez and the &#8220;Good Will Hunting”&#8221;star were first engaged in 2003 before breaking things off in 2004, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jennifer-lopez-opens-up-about-why-she-was-going-to-quit-hollywood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. In 2021, the two started dating again, and eighteen years after their initial break, they finally walked down the aisle in July.

Singer <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/jennifer-lopez-finally-reveals-whether-she-or-ben-affleck-reached-out-to-rekindle-their-romance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Lopez</a> revealed the three simple words her new husband — actor Ben Affleck — had engraved on her engagement ring when he proposed to her for a second time nearly two decades after the pair had gone their separate ways.
Lopez made the revelation during an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, noting that the words were repeated in the title of the sixth track on her latest album. The singer explained this was really about her finding Affleck again and reconnecting when the time was finally right for both of them.
The album is “This Is Me … Now” and is meant, according to Lopez, to capture a snapshot of her life at this moment; the song is titled “Not. Going. Anywhere.”
Lopez explained that the significance of the words came directly from the couple’s reunion after years apart — and signified their commitment to making it work this time around.
“That’s how he would sign his emails when we started talking again,” Lopez said of Affleck, explaining that the words were meant to reassure her that he was going to stand by her for the duration. “Like, ‘Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere.’”
And while Lopez said that she and Affleck had been on the same page from the moment they reconnected, the added reassurance from Affleck may have provided additional comfort after their first engagement ended badly.
“Once we called off that wedding 20 years ago, I was … it was the biggest heartbreak of my life. I honestly felt like I was going to die. It sent me on a spiral for the next 18 years,” the “Jenny from the Block” singer admitted.
Lopez made it clear in the interview that she was grateful for the lessons learned during their time apart — and for the things they’d accomplished as individuals — but her underlying message was one of hope to anyone who felt like giving up.
Encouraging them not to give up even if the road ahead seemed dark, Lopez reassured her fans that “true love does exist.”
After nearly two decades apart, Lopez and Affleck were married twice in 2022 — once in a simple <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/ben-affleck-jennifer-lopez-get-married-18-years-after-first-engagement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Las Vegas ceremony</a> and then in a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/love-is-patient-twenty-years-patient-jennifer-lopez-goes-all-in-with-ben-affleck-by-changing-her-last-name/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lavish event</a> in Georgia.

&#8220;I don&#8217;t know that I recommend this for everybody,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Sometimes you outgrow each other, or you just grow differently. The two of us, we lost each other and found each other. Not to discredit anything in between that happened, because all those things were real, too. All we&#8217;ve ever wanted was to kind of come to a place of peace in our lives where we really felt that type of love that you feel when you&#8217;re very young and wonder if you can have that again.&#8221;
&#8220;Does it exist? Is it real?&#8221; Lopez continued. &#8220;All those questions that I think everyone has. You go through all these relationships, and you&#8217;re searching and you&#8217;re connecting and you&#8217;re disconnecting with people, and you&#8217;re like, God, is this just what life is? Like a carousel, roller coaster, carnival ride? And then it settles. But the journey to that is the mystery for everybody.&#8221;
The &#8220;Jenny From The Block&#8221; hitmaker and the &#8220;Good Will Hunting&#8221; star were first engaged in 2003 before breaking things off in 2004, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jennifer-lopez-opens-up-about-why-she-was-going-to-quit-hollywood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.

Jennifer Lopez Finally Reveals Whether She Or Ben Affleck Reached Out To Rekindle Their Romance

Jennifer Lopez said she was shocked after learning about <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/23/opinion/jlo-jennifer-lopez-ben-affleck.html">The New York Times</a> op-ed that expressed disappointment when the singer took Ben Affleck&#8217;s last name after the two tied the knot at a Las Vegas chapel in July.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-lopez">53-year-old</a> singer admitted the idea of taking the name of the person you love &#8220;still carries tradition&#8221; and was something she didn&#8217;t even think about not doing when she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/love-is-patient-twenty-years-patient-jennifer-lopez-goes-all-in-with-ben-affleck-by-changing-her-last-name">married</a> the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ben-affleck">50-year-old actor</a>, <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/jennifer-lopez-december-cover-2022-interview">Vogue</a> reported.
&#8220;What? Really?&#8221; Lopez asked. &#8220;People are still going to call me Jennifer Lopez. But my legal name will be Mrs. Affleck because we&#8217;re joined together. We&#8217;re husband and wife. I&#8217;m proud of that. I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s a problem.&#8221;
The singer laughed when the interviewer asked if any part of her would want the &#8220;Good Will Hunting&#8221; star to be Mr. Lopez.

&#8220;No! It&#8217;s not traditional,&#8221; Lopez explained.  &#8220;It doesn’t have any romance to it. It feels like it&#8217;s a power move, you know what I mean? I&#8217;m very much in control of my own life and destiny and feel empowered as a woman and as a person.&#8221;
&#8220;I can understand that people have their feelings about it, and that&#8217;s okay, too,&#8221; she added. &#8220;But if you want to know how I feel about it, I just feel like it&#8217;s romantic. It still carries tradition and romance to me, and maybe I&#8217;m just that kind of girl.&#8221;
In the July NYT op-ed titled, &#8220;Why It Matters That J. Lo Is Now J. Aff,&#8221; the writer called the idea of taking a man&#8217;s last name &#8220;cringe-y,&#8221; &#8220;peak patriarchy,&#8221; and more.
&#8220;Ms. Affleck may be surrendering to the power of love with this, her fourth marriage,&#8221; the op-ed read. &#8220;But given the cringe-y history behind the practice, a woman taking her husband&#8217;s last name feels to me like a submission — a gesture that doesn&#8217;t say &#8216;I belong with him&#8217; so much as &#8216;I belong to him.&#8217; And at this fraught moment for feminism in America, a woman like the former Jennifer Lopez deciding to change her name feels especially dispiriting.&#8221;

‘It Still Carries Tradition’: Jennifer Lopez Says She Was Shocked After NYT Op-Ed Upset She Took Ben Affleck’s Last Name

Jennifer Lopez Shocked After NYT Op-Ed Upset She Took Ben Affleck’s Last Name

New York Times

Fans were surprised that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ben-affleck">Ben Affleck</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-lopez">Jennifer Lopez</a> headed to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/las-vegas">Las Vegas</a> to get <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marriage">married</a> this weekend, but they were even more shocked to learn that Lopez is changing her last name to match her husband.
Court documents show that the “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” singer requested a &#8220;new name&#8221; on her marriage certificate submission, which was filed on Sunday with the Clark County Clerk&#8217;s Office, per Fox News.
It’s not the first time Lopez changed her last name, either. The publication reported that the 52-year-old celebrity also did so when she was married to Marc Anthony from 2004 until 2014. Six months after their divorce was finalized, she changed it back.
After Affleck and Lopez’s nuptial news went viral, the singer shared a <a href="https://l.instagram.com/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fonthejlo.com%2F&amp;e=ATMx-zTg4YqSFzBEn-pTWDXMLkwIt-WI_ZYktWMbe3vqYnESPzeIzOs9i3ao0vw4k9RJ3ZzCB3LMEY89XPU&amp;s=1">newsletter</a> update with fans that provided more photos and details. She linked to it on Instagram, plus posted a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CgIQCz6Pk0U/?hl=en">photo</a> of herself smiling in bed.
&#8220;We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient,&#8221; she wrote. 
&#8220;Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world,” Lopez continued. 
“Behind us two men held hands and held each other. In front of us, a young couple who made the three hour drive from Victorville on their daughter’s second birthday—all of us wanting the same thing— for the world to recognize us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage.&#8221;
The lengthy letter described the venue and their transportation, which was allegedly a pink Cadillac convertible that was “evidently once used by the king himself,” referring to Elvis Presley, who was known as &#8220;The King of Rock and Roll.&#8221; 
&#8220;But in the end it was the best possible wedding we could have imagined,” the “Gigli” star wrote. “One we dreamed of long ago and one made real (in the eyes of the state, Las Vegas, a pink convertible and one another) at very, very long last.&#8221;
She continued, &#8220;When love is real, the only thing that matters in marriage is one another and the promise we make to love, care, understand, be patient, loving and good to one another. We had that. And so much more. Best night of our lives.”
&#8220;They were right when they said, ‘all you need is love.’ We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to,&#8221; Lopez wrote. 
&#8220;Stick around long enough and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at twelve thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with. Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things-and worth waiting for.&#8221;
She concluded the update writing, &#8220;With love, Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck.&#8221;

‘Love Is Patient. Twenty Years Patient’: Jennifer Lopez Goes All In With Ben Affleck By Changing Her Last Name

Jennifer Lopez Goes All In With Ben Affleck By Changing Her Last Name

Las Vegas

Actor Ben Affleck and singer Jennifer Lopez have gotten married, according to multiple reports.
According to <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/07/17/jennifer-lopez-and-ben-affleck-married-vegas/">TMZ</a>, the &#8220;Good Will Hunting&#8221; star and the pop icon were married in a private ceremony in Las Vegas. Citing court records from Clark County, Nevada, the outlet reported that the couple obtained a marriage license in their full legal names— Benjamin Geza Affleck and Jennifer Lynn Lopez — that was processed on July 16. A source reportedly confirmed the news to TMZ.
Another source confirmed the marriage to <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jennifer-lopez-and-ben-affleck-get-married-184493">Entertainment Tonight</a>.
&#8220;Jen and Ben got married in Vegas,&#8221; the source said. &#8220;They have so much fun together and thought this would be a fun idea too. Ben is absolutely in love with Jen and feels loved by her too. They both feel so comfortable with each other and like they share history and know each other so well.&#8221;
&#8220;They feel like they are in the same place in life now and relate to each other on another level,&#8221; the source continued. &#8220;Ben feels younger around Jen and like she brings out his best self. He loves that he doesn&#8217;t have to try very hard and can just be himself. Jen loves being around Ben no matter what they are doing.&#8221; Lopez thinks incredibly highly of Affleck as a father, and now stepfather, the source added. &#8220;She thinks Ben is an incredible partner and father. She celebrates him for the good and they are both really there for each other. They&#8217;re so excited to make more memories together and have more adventures, both as a couple and as a family.&#8221;
Affleck and Lopez&#8217;s marriage comes just a few months after Lopez announced her engagement to Affleck. TMZ reported in early April that Lopez was spotted wearing an enormous <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/04/07/jennifer-lopez-jlo-possible-engagement-ring-ben-affleck/">green diamond ring</a> while out shopping with her daughter Emme. Lopez later confirmed her engagement in a video posted to her fan newsletter, On the JLo.
&#8220;Saturday night &#8230; my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed,&#8221; Lopez wrote at the time, via ET. &#8220;I was taken totally off guard and just looked in his eyes smiling and crying at the same time trying hard to get my head around the fact that after 20 years this was happening all over again, I was quite literally speechless and he said, &#8216;is that a yes?’ I said YES of course that’s a YES.&#8221; I was smiling so big and tears were coming down my face, feeling so incredibly happy and whole. It was nothing fancy at all, but it was the most romantic thing I could’ve ever imagined &#8230; just a quiet Saturday night at home, two people promising to always be there for each other. Two very lucky people. Who got a second chance at true love.&#8221;
Affleck and Lopez reunited in 2021, having previously dated between 2002 and 2004. Lopez had already been married twice and had just divorced her second husband, former backup dancer Cris Judd. The couple met on the set of the film &#8220;Gigli&#8221; and began a relationship shortly afterward. They were engaged in November 2002 but split up in 2004. Affleck went on to marry actress Jennifer Garner, but they divorced in 2018. Lopez was married to singer Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014 and was engaged to New York Yankees great Alex Rodriguez from 2017 to 2021.

Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez Get Married 18 Years After First Engagement

Celebrity

Charlize Theron. Dwyane Wade. Cher. Jamie Lee Curtis. Annette Benning.
And now, Jennifer Lopez.
This hodgepodge list of celebrities all has something significant in common: each is raising non-binary or transgender children.
Outside of this group, there is a whole community of Hollywood elites who are choosing a progressive, non-gendered approach to parenting.
Most recently, Jennifer Lopez made <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jennifer-lopez-uses-they-them-pronouns-to-introduce-daughter-for-performance-with-rainbow-colored-mic">headlines</a> when she brought her 14-year-old daughter, Emme, out to sing a duet at the LA Dodgers Foundation Gala and introduced her using gender-neutral they/them pronouns. The internet <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/natashajokic1/jennifer-lopez-emme-performance-they-pronouns">erupted in support</a> of Lopez’s progressive parenting as she helped Emme come out as non-binary on the world’s stage.
I was immediately transported back to my childhood. My brothers and I won the lottery with a mother who would walk through fire for us and actively sought out opportunities to support our interests and unique quirks, but she was no JLo. She didn’t enable delusions.
By all standards, my mother was strict. Any independence we had was earned through mutual trust and respect. She was a parent first and a friend second. Up until recent years, I would’ve thought that this parenting style was the norm.
But not in 2022.
Today, there is a dangerous trend of parents blindly going along with their children&#8217;s every whim and demanding that the rest of the world follow suit. These parents are quick to lean into progressive gender theory and affirm their children — of all ages — as the opposite sex, or in some cases, no sex at all. 
I believe that, on the surface, many of these parents are simply misguided and have been convinced that this is the most loving and supportive path to take, even though science <a href="https://www.heritage.org/gender/commentary/transitioning-procedures-dont-help-mental-health-largest-dataset-shows">suggests</a> that it’s not.
However, I think most of these parents are deeply fueled by fear — the fear of getting canceled by the progressive mob, the fear of their children lashing out, and the fear of the government coming after them.
While that may seem like a significant statement, it’s not off base.
On a state level, many governors, like <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-says-hed-support-a-law-banning-gender-transition-surgeries-on-children-there-should-be-additional-protections">Ron DeSantis (R-FL)</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alabama-law-criminalizing-transgender-health-care-for-minors-goes-into-effect">Kay Ivey (R-AL)</a>, are taking powerful steps to protect parental rights and protect minors from gender reassignment procedures, but that is far from the case in more progressive states.
In California, legislators are working to pass <a href="https://openstates.org/ca/bills/20212022/SB107/">Senate Bill 107</a> which would turn the state into a transgender sanctuary for minors seeking gender reassignment and “authorize a court to take temporary jurisdiction because a child has been unable to obtain gender-affirming health care.”
You read that correctly. Legislators want the state to be able to take custody of your children if you do not affirm their social-contagion-fueled transgender feelings with puberty blockers and surgeries. 
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Parent of Detransitioned Kid Gives a Heartbreaking Plea Against Trans Bill | DM CLIPS | Rubin Report" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kEpgSSAM2yU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Shockingly and sadly, this isn’t new. Individual <a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/father-who-lost-custody-of-trans-child-runs-for-texas-house-to-outlaw-child-gender-reassignments/">cases</a> have been popping up around the United States for years. In Canada, laws already exist that “[prevent] parents from challenging a child’s same-sex orientation, or with identification not with the gender that he or she was born, but rather the opposite one,” <a href="https://familyllb.com/2018/02/19/parents-lose-custody-for-failing-to-respect-teenagers-wish-to-transgender/">according to</a> Family LLB in Ontario.
This might not be far off for Americans.
Just last Wednesday, President Biden announced a new executive order aimed at the GOP’s <a href="https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1537175566989656065?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1537175566989656065%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationalreview.com%2Fnews%2Fbiden-pride-month-speech-blasts-ultra-maga-agenda-attacking-families%2F">“Ultra-MAGA agenda,”</a> which he accused of targeting families and harming transgender children.
This executive order <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/06/15/fact-sheet-president-biden-to-sign-historic-executive-order-advancing-lgbtqi-equality-during-pride-month/">directs</a> the Department of Health and Human Services to do everything in its power to protect LGBTQ+ children’s access to “gender-affirming health care” and asks the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and other departments to begin cracking down on therapeutic practices that attempt to “suppress or change the sexual orientation or gender identity of LGBTQI+ people,” which he defines as “conversion therapy.”
But here’s the thing, conversion therapy hasn’t been used by the <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/06/bidens-repackaged-conversion-therapy/">American Psychiatry Association since 1973</a>, so what is Biden vaguely asking the FTC to police? If a child goes to their therapist with concerns about gender, will their psychologist have to affirm these feelings for fear of a conversion therapy accusation?
We are living in a society that is so afraid of a loud, extremist minority that people are willing to roll over and allow — or even worse, encourage — irreversible damage to be done to their children.
Therefore, it was reasonable for HBO talk show host and comedian <a href="https://twitter.com/billmaher/status/1527887977845649408?s=20&amp;t=HGhhfc5Tcvn8FwVDtHpRfw">Bill Maher</a> to question why the spike in transgender youth is regional, saying  “Either Ohio is shaming them or California is creating them.” 
It’s a simplistic statement but it rings true. In the most progressive places, the people who are supposed to protect children are the ones enabling and supporting this dangerous, experimental trend.
Whether it is related to gender or not, parents, therapists, and teachers are not there to affirm a child’s every impulse and fantasy. This does nothing but harm young people and makes them wholly unprepared for the harsh realities of the adult world.
And considering the astounding number of Gen Z members who are struggling with mental illness or gender confusion in their late teens and 20s, it’s clear we’re already seeing the dire ramifications of this attitude.
It is imperative that we change course before it is too late. Young people deserve better.

Ben Affleck&#8217;s 10-year-old son Samuel Garner somehow found himself behind the wheel of a bright yellow rental Lamborghini at a car dealership and ended up backing the luxury car into a parked BMW.
Yes, you read that correctly. It happened at a Los Angeles car lot Sunday when the 49-year-old actor was out with pop singer fiancée Jennifer Lopez and the kids he shares with ex-wife actress Jennifer Garner. The &#8220;Batman&#8221; star reportedly let his kid sit in the driver seat where he accidentally ended up putting the $225,000 Lamborghini, that was running at the time, in reverse and hit a white BMW vehicle, the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10955661/Ben-Afflecks-son-Samuel-10-appears-Lamborghini-BMW-outing-dad-J-Lo.html">Daily Mail</a> reported in a piece published Sunday.
&#8220;Ben [Affleck] was at the dealership to test drive a new car&#8230;. Sam seemed very interested in the exotic cars,&#8221; a source told <a href="https://people.com/parents/ben-afflecks-son-samuel-accidentally-backs-lamborghini-into-bmw-exclusive/">People</a> magazine. &#8220;Ben let him get into the driver&#8217;s seat of a very expensive Lamborghini, [and] the car ended up reversing into another parked car.&#8221;
&#8220;There seemed to be no damage to the cars though,&#8221; the source added. &#8220;You could tell that Ben very much regretted letting Sam get into the driver&#8217;s seat. He seemed upset about it.&#8221;
The actor&#8217;s representative told the outlet in a statement, &#8220;There was no damage. Everyone is okay.&#8221;
Numerous photos of the small fender bender have surfaced on social media and can be seen below. In one photo we see Affleck embracing his son. Another showed Samuel checking out the car he backed into. While another, showed the &#8220;Justice League&#8221; star going to get his son who appeared to be rushing to get out of the car he just put into reverse.

Jennifer Lopez shared in her new Netflix documentary that she was banned from using the female gender symbol during her recent Super Bowl halftime performance because it wasn&#8217;t inclusive.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jennifer-lopez-opens-up-about-why-she-was-going-to-quit-hollywood">52-year-old pop singer</a> shared a conversation she had with British director Hamish Hamilton about the logistics of her then-upcoming performance at Super Bowl 2022. Hamilton admitted his thoughts might be &#8220;contentious,&#8221; but given all the &#8220;identity politics&#8221; going on in the world, using the symbol that means woman wouldn&#8217;t be a good idea.
&#8220;We just want to get that woman symbol up at the front, I think,&#8221; Lopez explained in the documentary. &#8220;It&#8217;s got to be subtle. We have to be subtle with our message because people don&#8217;t want to be hit over the f***ing head with it.&#8221;
&#8220;I mean, I&#8217;m gonna be probably contentious now, but the only thing within it [the performance] that isn’t subtle – and actually is contentious, given everything that is going on with identity politics at this moment – is the female symbol,&#8221; Hamilton replied by phone.
&#8220;I think that that could be reviewed by some people as being actually exclusive,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I think also it seems to be a little bit on the nose and something that might have been done at the Super Bowl a while back.&#8221;
&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t seem to have the artistry&#8230;I understand the meaning behind it but I think that what you&#8217;re saying within the show is way more powerful than having that symbol out there,&#8221; Hamilton continued.
The &#8220;Hustlers&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/worst-idea-in-the-world-jennifer-lopez-slams-choice-to-appear-in-super-bowl-halftime-show-with-shakira">star</a> seemed surprised by his comments and said she thought the part the director would have a problem with was that she wanted to include kids in &#8220;cages&#8221; on the stage of her halftime show as a message about immigration.

In the film, Lopez&#8217;s longtime manager Benny Medina said the night before the game, the order came from &#8220;the highest authority&#8221; in the NFL to cut the cages bit.

‘Contentious’: Jennifer Lopez Says She Was Banned From Using Female Gender Symbol At Super Bowl Because It Wasn’t Inclusive

Jennifer Lopez Banned From Using Female Gender Symbol At Super Bowl Because It Wasn’t Inclusive

Super Bowl

Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez introduced her daughter Emme Muñiz, 14, using they/them gender-neutral pronouns for a performance at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Emme, daughter of Lopez and ex-husband Marc Anthony, joined the “Let’s Get Loud” singer for a duet at the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation Blue Diamond Gala when Lopez referred to the teen with the pronouns.
The “Selena” actress reportedly joked that Emme was “very, very busy, booked and pricey,” but “worth every single penny because they’re my favorite duet partner of all time,” Insider <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.insider.com/jennifer-lopez-child-emme-they-them-pronouns-gender-neutral-2022-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
“‘The last time we performed together was in a big stadium like this and I ask them to sing with me all the time, and they won’t,’” Lopez said. “‘So this is a very special occasion.’”
Emme also joined her mother on stage during the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show.
At the Gala on Thursday, Emme rocked a pink getup with a black hat over her short dark hair. She also used a rainbow-colored mic, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10930737/Jennifer-Lopez-performs-duet-child-Emme-giving-loving-introduction-using-pronouns.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The Daily Mail.

According to a Pew Research Center poll conducted in the fall of 2018, 18% of Americans say they know someone who goes by gender neutral-pronouns.
“Younger adults are more likely than older adults to say they have heard of people preferring gender-neutral pronouns and to know someone who goes by these pronouns,” Pew Research <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/09/05/gender-neutral-pronouns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outlined</a>. “Roughly three-quarters of Americans ages 18 to 29 (73%) say they have heard a little or a lot about people preferring nonbinary pronouns, compared with about two-thirds of those 30 to 49 (65%) and smaller shares of those ages 50 to 64 (54%) and 65 and older (46%). Meanwhile, about three-in-ten adults ages 18 to 29 (32%) personally know someone who goes by these types of pronouns, compared with smaller shares of older adults.”
A Harvard-Harris poll from this year <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://katv.com/news/nation-world/kids-shouldnt-get-to-choose-their-preferred-pronouns-majority-of-americans-say-in-poll-gender-identity-ideology-children-school-teacher-biological-sex-harvard-harris-dont-say-gay-trans-trangender-lgbtq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">showed</a> that a whopping 41% of Americans said “‘kids should be able to pick their pronouns.’”
Unsurprisingly, the poll was split by politics. “Most Republicans, 77%, and Independents, 64%, who took the poll said kids shouldn’t be able to pick their pronouns, while a majority of Democrats, 61%, supported allowing children to determine their own preferred pronouns,” The National Desk <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://katv.com/news/nation-world/kids-shouldnt-get-to-choose-their-preferred-pronouns-majority-of-americans-say-in-poll-gender-identity-ideology-children-school-teacher-biological-sex-harvard-harris-dont-say-gay-trans-trangender-lgbtq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Overall, about 60% of American adults polled said “preferred pronouns” are an “excessive measure that does more to confuse kids about their sex.”
Notably, the gender and transgender craze is particularly popular with Hollywood elites. Numerous celebrities, like <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-growing-number-of-celebrities-with-trans-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamie Lee Curtis, Charlize Theron, and Gabrielle Union</a>, have claimed to have transgender children.

Jennifer Lopez opened up about what she has called the &#8220;many times&#8221; she thought she was just &#8220;going to quit&#8221; Hollywood because she said she was believing everything she was hearing about herself in the media.
During the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/worst-idea-in-the-world-jennifer-lopez-slams-choice-to-appear-in-super-bowl-halftime-show-with-shakira">52-year-old</a> actress&#8217; upcoming Netflix documentary &#8220;Halftime,&#8221; the singer talked about how in the early days she had to find out who she really was because she had &#8220;really low self-esteem&#8221; and believed what she was hearing in the media about herself, per an <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/jennifer-lopez-documentary-5-things-learned-halftime-rcna33198">NBC News</a> piece published Tuesday.
&#8220;No matter what I achieved,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jennifer-lopez-hits-stage-in-equality-fur-coat-as-drag-queens-show-off-her-famed-looks">Lopez</a> explained in the film. &#8220;Their [the media&#8217;s] appetite to cover my personal life overshadowed everything. I believed a lot of what they said, which is that I wasn&#8217;t really good.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
“My whole life i&#39;ve been battling and battling to be heard… to be seen… to be taken seriously.”

&#8220;There were many times where I was like I think I&#8217;m just going to quit,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I had to really figure out who I was and believe in that and not believe anything else.&#8221;
The documentary also looked at the early days of her romance with Ben Affleck and how their relationship was mocked by late-night hosts. The two got engaged in 2003 and then broke things off in 2004. The two have since rekindled their relationship in the last year and are now engaged.
Affleck appeared in the film and noted how he asked her once about the scrutiny she was under back in the early days of their romance.
&#8220;I said to her once, doesn&#8217;t this bother you?&#8221; the actor shared. &#8220;And she said, &#8216;I&#8217;m Latina, I expected this.&#8217; You just don&#8217;t expect it, you expect to be treated fairly.&#8221;
At one point, the documentary focused on how when the &#8220;Hustlers&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jennifer-lopez-trolled-after-working-her-own-song-into-inaugural-performance">star</a> came on the scene she wasn&#8217;t the &#8220;ideal&#8221; look of beauty and shared clips of how people in the industry would mock her butt.
&#8220;When I started working, the beauty ideal was very thin, blonde, tall, not a lot of curves,&#8221; Lopez explained. &#8220;It was hard when you think people think you&#8217;re a joke. Like you&#8217;re a punchline. But I wound up affecting things in a way that I never intended to affect them.&#8221;
