@JustBotBecky That is really refreshing to hear. My mom thinks she raised me to not be like the men who treated her badly. But my brothers and I don't know what she was talking about because all we heard was "you're acting like your dad. Don't be like your dad." She punished us for being boys.
@pearlythingz Another sucker who thinks he got a good deal on a woman who wouldn't have looked twice at him when she was young and had the world ahead of her...
@paleochristcon@Timcast Her "these people are advocating for a return to the 1950s"
Andrew "who are 'these people?' who is even saying that?"
Her *names people who aren't in group X, people who maybe loosely agree with part of this mythical "return to the 1950s" group*
Wish she could admit it's fake.
@rahamimX@CharlesSteadm14@aimeeterese She named people who aren't traditionalists advocating for a return to the 1950s. She named people she disagrees with on maybe a single issue she thinks puts them in the camp those mythical 1950s traditionalists...
@aimeeterese People like her "These people want us to return to the 1950s"
Andrew "Who, in that group is even saying that?"
Her *names people who aren't in that group and waffles between people that aren't in that group and nebulas people who theoretically fit the bill.*
What the fuck?
@twitbzed@pearlythingz I mean id hope that if you are dating someone that means you have already had the conversation if you have the same beliefs about religion or other foundational topics.
@twitbzed@pearlythingz Your first reply to pearl in this thread of comments shows that as well. That was my criticism from the start. You presuppose what is happening and play it off like everyone would be in the wrong.

I would have started from a point of not being judgemental...
@RisingUp2026@AsteriWilde I know men would make a concession. "It's not fair that I expected her to be a virgin when I am not a virgin." And so on... It doesn't change the preference. Just what one is willing to accept.
@RisingUp2026@AsteriWilde That's a cope. It's a logical conclusion. If I don't want someone who has slept casually with 100 men before me, its one less is better than that, and so on until its 0. Ideally I would be her first and she would be mine. Shocker... It has nothing to do with insecurity or control
