I love so many parts of motherhood and I love my children so dearly….
But when I went in my daughter’s bedroom and found 4 cracked eggs on her carpet I was ready to end it all.
“We cannot start redefining words and their meanings simply to make a small portion of the population feel more validated in their subjective experience”
Hey Zach, what died the word ‘gender’ mean?
To me, “woke” is indicative of any ideology that sacrifices logic, reason, rational thought, wisdom, knowledge, history, and facts on the altar of socio-political agendas. For example, when we as a society start to rationalize the idea that biological sex is somehow a subjective cultural construct, and not a scientific fact, we are doing ourselves a great injustice. The inability for many people to define what a woman is means that we are collectively losing our grasp on reality.
We cannot start redefining words and their meanings simply to make a small portion of the population feel more validated in their subjective experience. We can, and should, love them and want the very best for their lives. They should have the freedom to live their adult lives however they see fit, so long as it’s not infringing on the rights of others. But that should never include turning our backs on objective truth to do so. We can both love and support them, AND hold firm to what we know is fact. These concepts are not mutually exclusive. 🙏
You are 17. You watch the former president stand trial for rape. He is found guilty.
You are 18. You watch your father, uncles, and friends vote for that same president .
Imagine being an 18 year old female voter. When you were 11, you heard and read hundreds of stories of women being victimized by men with no regard. You heard your friends at school laughing along when the boy you liked called you a slut bc you forgot to wear a bra to school.
Imagine being an 18 year old young male voter. When you were 11, the MeToo movement launched and men across the board like you were deemed oppressors. When you were starting high school, liberal politicians closed your school and forced you to take classes online. The women around you don't seem like victims -- they are going to college at way higher rates, earning far more than men in many professional white-collar jobs, and are way less likely to be addicted to drugs and as lonely as most of the guys you know. Your peer group of other young men play video games and enjoy memes mocking the dominant, suffocating, woke culture across all the major entertainment and academic institutions. How is voting for the establishment Democrat who avoided any voting process or scrutiny for her nomination in any way appealing?
You are 17. You go to a party and meet up with friends. A cute boy takes you to a room, locks the door and doesn’t stop when you push him away. You get called a slut and are told by his football coach to not ruin his career.
1 of the scariest things about the past 8 yrs is that, yes, there are people who were radicalized. But I saw very normal people say unhinged things.
An older woman I know just said blatantly “we have been saying the dept of ed needs to be demolished years ago.”WHAT?
@itsdeaann Babe, no one is denying the results. We know the country we live in. We know people voted against their own self interest. We’ve been here many times before.
