@svershbow And over 30 years that's a "sane" rent increase!

[Elizabeth Mather @Mathe3Mather]

@svershbow Ugh, 30 years ago, my BIL had an apt on Court St in Brooklyn that now rents for $5350.00. In 1995 rent was $750.

@svershbow My dog when I'm logged in after 6pm.

@Cr7Godbrand "Emotionally controlled " 🤣🤣

[Elizabeth Mather @Mathe3Mather]

@emilykmay Same. I was an immature 11 delivering newspapers in my neighborhood the first time a man exposed himself to me.

[Elizabeth Mather @Mathe3Mather]

@justalexoki This is X, where men routinely post that caring for babies and toddlers takes 12 minutes a day is "sitting on the couch." 🤣

@NoahKeikestein @_nomadic_soul Women do better than men at ultra distance events like open swimming, evidently. Endurance matters.

[Elizabeth Mather @Mathe3Mather]

@_nomadic_soul A natural talent for housework....🙄

[Elizabeth Mather @Mathe3Mather]

@_nomadic_soul ** correction: sexual harassment,not rape. His obsession with her being his property just makes him angrier.

[Elizabeth Mather @Mathe3Mather]

@_nomadic_soul These takes remind me of Harriet Jacobs' "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" - she was legally a slave with no rights and a male owner with total power over her, and yet he just wanted more, more, more - even after raping her.

@Augustu24299247 @spacetimebaddie There are jobs that aren't bullshit though- they require extra education and time. Lots of women really enjoy working, whereas housework is monotonous.

[Elizabeth Mather @Mathe3Mather]

@ccopper315 @spacetimebaddie @Augustu24299247 And that's why men don't feel they should have to do housework.

[Elizabeth Mather @Mathe3Mather]

@emilykmay There are just...so many worse things in life than shitty diapers.

[Elizabeth Mather @Mathe3Mather]

@akhivae Perhaps you should read a slave woman's narrative.

[Elizabeth Mather @Mathe3Mather]

@RichardXRPL @usuallypregnant I think this might be you, to be honest. Plenty of women work because they enjoy using their minds differently than being at home would.

[Elizabeth Mather @Mathe3Mather]

@skbfsffgfd @e00111010 @shae_mcl Why do men want kids if they don't want to handle childcare, doctors appointments, school conferences, activities, etc etc. You can branch out from "providing" when women do that already.

[Elizabeth Mather @Mathe3Mather]

@SixchuterH82812 @GingerAdd1ct @usuallypregnant And taken away for adoption?

[Elizabeth Mather @Mathe3Mather]

@usuallypregnant We should be educating men on their sperm quality as well, and asking if never seeing your grandkids is really the best thing to do.

[Elizabeth Mather @Mathe3Mather]

@Mangemongen When it comes to caring for elderly parents, plenty of caregivers have a sibling that doesn't do much. Coming together to care for parents is fantasyland.

@SineadWatson91 @CyricZ42 @mullethosh @_celia_bedelia_ The idea that nature isn't astoundingly cruel seems misguided to me.
