Women Talking:
This may be an unpopular opinion, but it is important to critically consider the factual vs fictional depictions of plain mennonites especially when it comes to Old Colony Mennonites when we have content that perhaps raises awareness that is fictional.

Maybe... Inform yourself of some medical conditions amongst Amish before you speak. It might be helpful.

@BrettNewsReader @VigilantFox Actually, you are misinformed. Amish do have autism.

@kendrickt86 @summ116 @catrn55 @keithedwards Your observed perception is interesting and makes you appear like an armchair expert.
I grew up Amish and we 100% did vaccinate livestock and animals. I also lived in 5 settlements... .... But sure go on.. some Amish do. Some don't.

@WiggyStark @Jenlynn853 @ColoradoKevin3 @R_JonAnderson I was born in Pennsylvania and lived in 5 Amish settlements 2/5 of the settlements routinely participated in elections and voted even back in the 1990's ...
Some Amish vote.
Some don't.

@GarbageHuman24 This is not true. It's an overgeneralized statement & misleading. My Amish cousin almost died from type 1 diabetes, I have multiple cousins who as children w/ diagnosed as autistic. I know Amish children to diagnosed & who died from cancer.
Please understand overgeneralizing.

Nothing like being told all about *Amish Porn* and *Amish women churning butter* and *Sins of the Amish* on Pornhub...

and when invited to go educate himself, this guy doubled down on the stereotyping, objectification and fethishization comments.

@RedBeardVaper79 @hisgaldeb @BlackKnight10k They file taxes.
I know some affluent Amish would say it was cheaper to not file taxes and get penalized by the IRS , but the 5 Amish communities I lived in did generally file taxes, and yes this was even in the 1990's .

[𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝕚𝕤𝕗𝕚𝕥 𝔸𝕞𝕚𝕤𝕙 @themisfitamish]

@ATrickledown Yes, and that always leaves me with the complicated question of *how does this benefit the actual victims of these crimes?*

I can't answer that, because I am not them.
But I have pondered on this for years now.

@ATrickledown @KamalaDreams Same. It must be safe to consume.

[𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝕚𝕤𝕗𝕚𝕥 𝔸𝕞𝕚𝕤𝕙 @themisfitamish]

@saor_chroi @BlackKnight10k Yes, and I lived in 5 settlements. I believe in the settlements I lived in 2/5 voted, if that makes sense. You're right that it can be heavily discouraged as well.

[𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝕚𝕤𝕗𝕚𝕥 𝔸𝕞𝕚𝕤𝕙 @themisfitamish]

@saor_chroi @BlackKnight10k I didn't say all of them do, because I lived in 5 settlements. Some Amish vote. Many don't.

[𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝕚𝕤𝕗𝕚𝕥 𝔸𝕞𝕚𝕤𝕙 @themisfitamish]

@TrioloSal44024 @KamalaDreams Yes, all of the 5 Amish settlements I lived in paid state and federal taxes..

[𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝕚𝕤𝕗𝕚𝕥 𝔸𝕞𝕚𝕤𝕙 @themisfitamish]

@scottygirl2014 @KamalaDreams Actually, I watched my Old Order Amish Mother vote in Pennsylvania in the 1990's. Some Amish do vote. Thanks.

@hisgaldeb @RedBeardVaper79 @BlackKnight10k They do pay property and income taxes in all 5 of the Amish settlements I lived in and I watched my Old Order Amish Mother vote in Pennsylvania in the 1990's. Some Amish do vote. Thanks.
