@MySonIsNotJohn Is that not a hospital setting?

@LisaBritton >>More and more women are becoming more and more liberal. Liberals are behind the falling birth rate as conservatives are having almost as many children as they were decades ago.

So young women are liberal and conservatives are having lots of kids....with whom?

@megha_lilly >>homeschool moms are unqualified when they regularly produce teenagers who have read more classics than the average 30yo.

Can't say that I have seen this in most homeschooled kids, but certainly some.

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@Kristin_Fiction >>my article tomorrow will be a bold and sweeping suggestion to fix all problems between American men and women forever and the birth rate will explode.

Modest, indeed.

@greenkmr_3 @thechosenberg I thought the most important part was where he accused her of throwing up on purpose, but I could easily be persuaded to switch my vote on that one.

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@archer_rs Doing fine, just like everyone else I know.

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@ChrisWillx Of all that, I find this most interesting:

Less intelligent: Women are 6 times more likely to rule out a partner with lower intelligence (45% of women say an outright "no" compared to just 8% of men).

Why would you want to be with someone less intelligent?

@MonicaMAlmaguer This gets so much coverage on here that I thought there must be some new stats showing that most marriages are sexless. But no, the numbers haven't changed much.

@buckeyebettie So when I can't find something in the kitchen because my husband put the dishes away and they aren't where I expect them to be, I'm thinking he should be an emotional clone?

@TradAdvocate Why would anyone HAVE to choose between these two things?

@Pauldman414 @godlywomanhood If 9 out of 10 men with red hair raped me? Really?

@davepl1968 Am I the only one who sees the page 2 and the alphabetical order? This is clearly part of a larger list, making it highly unlike that it is a required reading list.

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@davepl1968 Agreed. I figure that's why it shows page two instead of page one, where you would see a title.

I was a sophomore in 1978 and we surely weren't reading all that at my high school. We had a textbook with lit readings and grammar, and we read Animal Farm and R & J on the side.

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@Pauldman414 @godlywomanhood No, I am not a bot. I understood your point; I just don't think it's a particularly good one. Your analogy is not apt, as the shortage comparison overstates the shortage and does not take into account an ongoing pipeline, and statistics do not apply to individuals.

@JoshPhillipsPhD This says 45-54% follow in their parents' footsteps.

@pensandpoison Yeah, all that genre fiction that gets published every year is directed at MFAs.

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@venom1s Who was Rose's husband?

[Rachel Jones @Logoleptic]

@Pauldman414 @godlywomanhood A) There isn't one med school for my tribe, so that's not an apt analogy.

B) You have no way of knowing who will retire (or die early or decide to leave) and who will not. Statistics do not apply to individuals.
