Slide the scale on the link to watch the world fertility rate decline over a 200 year period. Please note what countries DON'T have declining rates & consider our national foreign aid budget, climate change & global conflict

@TheBBMaker@Philosophi_Cat Exactly; the last thing we need is women rushing into partnerships with men just so they can have babies. We need suitable men worth submitting to & men are suffering from this cultural crisis as much as women are.
@PPC_Willowdale I am so relieved to see that @peoplespca is weighing in on this case, and with the appropriate gravity and seriousness for what is, at its surface a preposterous case. Thank you!
@BraveTheWorld Yoga pants are a crime against modesty & fashion lol, but yeah you'd probably make bank with a store like that. I refuse to wear maternity shirts with any kind of text. it's as though women feel the need to explain their bumps or make a joke out of them.
@_0007x I couldn't have said it better. I'm not about to revise history and say textiles are an explicitly white heritage, but knitting, specific traditions of knitting - say, icelandic sweaters - is very, very white. #dealwithit#diversknitty
Please explain to me how #scandi sweaters & NFLD thrummed mittens need to be more inclusive? Seems to me that there is a specific subset of #knitting culture that comes from a very #white#female history - I don't see the need to apologise for that.

@Philosophi_Cat This is why I will never show my face on twitter & why I go through great pains to keep my family out of this. Doxxing is terrifying
@MissBridgetFan1 I don't think it's hate free - what's going on in the knitting world is entirely based on peer pressure, shaming and shunning. It's the opposite of hate free - its a mob.
@Lynn_Strunge@TomApplebee @ravelrystatus Its so sad. I'm finding the same thing happening in farmer's markets & now the knitting community. It'd be easy to be terrified by it - but I am also angry. I'm tired of constantly having to apologise for literally everything I love
@ap_donovan@CCbucko especially when you give them a nonthreatening opinion that lets them know its ok to voice their opinions - I'm amazed how many people have secret reservations about our current culture.
@TheBBMaker Literally it feels like no body talks about the comming infertility crisis. Male fertility in western and developed nations is plummeting with "no known cause"
@AndreVanDelft@99freemind I think its particularly interesting that he is both a cardiac and a renal pediatric specialists - but is also tacking the time to weigh in on the adult issues of trans physical modalities. #stayinyourlane
@99freemind We call them "trans-men" and "trans-women" because we naturally delineate them from "men" and "women" by throwing an extra qualifier in there by way of an explanation. Their experiences are inherently different. its crazy to suggest otherwise..
“Why do women want to dress like men when they’re fortunate enough to be women? Why lose femininity, which is one of our greatest charms? [...] I’m very fond of men. I think they are wonderful creatures. I love them dearly. But I don’t want to look like one.”

@LeftistComment1 @DeTabachnick the only sockpuppet in this discussion is @trustednerd's assessment of a post-partum vagina which is disgusting and anti-femme.
