@DonaldRorabaugh @AlacritysWhatev @Yeegrek @Mikewatson87 @acnewsitics @bennyjohnson @ElieNYC People who apply 2022 thoughts and values to 1776 are low IQ.

Anachronistic.

Boring.

@JulietRedbird It was certainly true. Women were property when our "society" was formed.

It was set up so that elites could easily gain and maintain wealth and power.

It's not different today. Well, if it is, how is it different?

[carolina escribe y piensa — End Mandates Now!! @CarolinaThinks]

@JulietRedbird This seems kind of evil or misguided, frankly. Which women requested this? You will walk by an assault and not do anything? I would never do that. Have had to defend myself from assault though.

Did I request that?

@wil_da_beast630 More:
"Though the pandemic laid bare just how little support families in the US receive from the government when it comes to childcare and other obligations, some women had already made up their minds before then."

[carolina escribe y piensa — End Mandates Now!! @CarolinaThinks]

@wil_da_beast630 Other hypotheses:

"Demographers point to a number of factors driving this phenomenon: economic insecurity, political uncertainty, shifting gender norms and a lessening stigma around the choice to remain child-free."

[carolina escribe y piensa — End Mandates Now!! @CarolinaThinks]

@wil_da_beast630 One hypothesis:
"Amy Blackstone, a sociologist at the University of Maine... says the lack of family-friendly policies in the US is one explanation behind the declining birth rate in recent years -- something that the pandemic made even more clear."

[carolina escribe y piensa — End Mandates Now!! @CarolinaThinks]

@wil_da_beast630 Seems false as stated above, average household family is down to 3.13 from 3.73 in the 60s.

Your conception of traditional family with 3+ kids appears to be outlier, dream... exception in rare cases it exists, not rule.

[carolina escribe y piensa — End Mandates Now!! @CarolinaThinks]

@wil_da_beast630 I don't know which one is joke. Do you mean: "I'm pretty second wave, sic." I am not joking when I say I don't know what something means.

Did you presume I was being facetious as you presumed "intensity"?

Is the suggestion that I am not permitted to your responses to me?

[carolina escribe y piensa — End Mandates Now!! @CarolinaThinks]

@Maloo_Bee @_BarringtonII Truth. Society is not set up for women at all.

"Amy Blackstone, a sociologist at the University of Maine says the lack of family-friendly policies in the US is one explanation behind the declining birth rate in recent years -- something that the pandemic made even more clear."

[carolina escribe y piensa — End Mandates Now!! @CarolinaThinks]

@Maloo_Bee @_BarringtonII No one is getting over it. People aren't having kids and who can blame them. Look at this thread and how woman are treated. Called whores. Told that life is set up to protect them and children. Ridiculous.

No numbers or anything that happens in reality backs this up.

[carolina escribe y piensa — End Mandates Now!! @CarolinaThinks]

@AlacritysWhatev @Yeegrek @Mikewatson87 @acnewsitics @bennyjohnson No, I didn't. You are too unintelligent to understand the discussion.

Go away and let the intellects talk.

Partisan sycophant.

[carolina escribe y piensa — End Mandates Now!! @CarolinaThinks]

@AlacritysWhatev @Yeegrek @Mikewatson87 @acnewsitics @bennyjohnson What's a "twunt" exactly? Sounds like you're a misogynist with women issues.

I'm a lifelong registered Dem who is not a partisan sycophant and is never voting Dem again due to being opposed to totalitarianism, you loudmouthed, bird brained, misogynist pig.

[carolina escribe y piensa — End Mandates Now!! @CarolinaThinks]

@AlacritysWhatev @DonaldRorabaugh @Yeegrek @Mikewatson87 @acnewsitics @bennyjohnson @ElieNYC Yeah, you responded to me, brainless. YOU are the one who presented something about SD as on topic, when it was NOT.

You're wrong. And a brainless misogynist.

[carolina escribe y piensa — End Mandates Now!! @CarolinaThinks]

@DonaldRorabaugh @AlacritysWhatev @Yeegrek @Mikewatson87 @acnewsitics @bennyjohnson @ElieNYC Why do I have to be kind when you lowlifes come out and attack me for no reason other than discussing how our country works?

Because you are afraid of women who think for themselves? Closed-minded? A partisan sycophant? What?

[carolina escribe y piensa — End Mandates Now!! @CarolinaThinks]

@92huskies She has 2 kids, I just looked it up, Cole & Ella. Think she is very close to nieces too.

[carolina escribe y piensa — End Mandates Now!! @CarolinaThinks]

What public figures with influence come to mind when you think of those who are famously childfree (or childfree & famous)?

The first 3 that came to mind are men: Bill Maher, Greg Gutfeld, Ralph Nader.

Can't think of any women.
Is it ok for men to talk about but not women?

[carolina escribe y piensa — End Mandates Now!! @CarolinaThinks]

@_BarringtonII Posting because you got me very interested in your comment that American society was set up to protect women and children, which seems clearly arguable, if not patently false, in my view.

How to prove or disprove this?

@loonlake55 sorry, typo: conscious stated choice

[carolina escribe y piensa — End Mandates Now!! @CarolinaThinks]

@loonlake55 Same with me.
IRL, seems few people that I know with no or 1 kid either met/married later &/or had trouble getting pregnant &/or other personal matters (e.g., divorce) that got in way (rather than a conscience choice like it is with men I mentioned: Maher, Nader, Gutfeld).

@ringothe5th Stevie Nicks' father was president of greyhound buslines! Had no idea. Interesting.
