"I quit my birth control and feel so much better, this is proof birth control is poisoning our bodies!!!" listen I am a lucky duck who tried one form of birth control and felt great but if I had to try 80 different types I would because I don't want to get fucking pregnant. if your birth control sucks try a new type!! "everyone should quit their birth control" is a bunch of conservative-crunchy bullshit

when I was a teenager and a young adult I really didn't understand a lot of things about racism particularly anti-black racism. so I read books written by black people about it. I recommend this method to anyone who is tempted to make their lack of understanding the responsibility of the group that they do not understand

Or we can just. Normalize telling them that what they see in porn isnât actually how sex plays out and to justâŚ.talk to thier partners?
I think teens need to be able to go to trusted adults and say âI saw something in a porn video that freaked me out and now Iâm worried Iâll have to do it tooâ and then the adult can say âitâs ok to be nervous about sex, but remember that you donât have to do ANYTHING you donât want to do, ever, no exceptionsâ and this should be an ongoing conversation to remind young people that sexual desire isnât monolithic and they are not uniquely weird, cowardly, or undesirable for expressing their feelings, and they deserve sexual partners who prioritize consent & autonomy always
#waiting for the kid to come up to you is all fun and games until you realize the kids may not go up to you about something taboo#why is this site so . sexless

boomer women had the worst taste in men of any surviving generation I have gotten to interact with. and I know what youâre thinking âoh, they settled because women were dependent on menâ nuh uh. the silent generation was picking better. I donât know if it was because of the bad boy craze of the 1950s and early 60s or what but my baby boomer aunts have married some of the worst men to walk gods green earth and then mock the younger generation for having children with people theyâre not married to. YOUR HUSBAND OF 30 YEARS WAS UNEMPLOYED AND CHEATING ON YOU THE WHOLE TIMEEEEEE.

Because I need a girl man that make me happy, a girl man that make me cry, a girl man that passed away back in 1985

being so staunchly anti generative ai while everyone around you is "i used chatgpt" and "i asked grok" and google search is useless and every company is implementing ai and every single celeb is taking ai money and partnering with ai is like... it's so jarring. why can't you see the harm like i can? why are you so lazy? why are we making society this stupid? can we please stop? it's killing people does that not matter to you?

There has been a crazy amount of fear-mongering about the age of first time moms getting older and older and how moms 40+ were the only demographic of women where the fertility rate rose, making it the first time in history that there are more women 40+ having children than teen pregnancies. The right is spinning this as being indicative of modern women being selfish and sewing in rhetoric about how a womanâs eggs dry up and blow away the moment she hits 30.
What is interesting is that they never mention the average age for a first time mom is 27 and the average age for a first time dad is 31. We are seeing dudes who are 50 saying âIâm not ready to settle down and start a family, Iâm going to do that someday but Iâm still out here seeing my wild oats.â My dad is 55 and several of his friends have had kids in the past 5 years. Theyâre angry at girls and women for not popping out babies the moment they start menstruating but not at men for deciding to start a family when they are GERIATRIC!
Maybe the birth rate would be higher if it was easier to find a good life partner and start a family sooner. Maybe it would be higher if there were less men dicking around for 50+ years and deciding to start a family only when theyâre on the precipice of entering a nursing home, at which time their female peers have gone through menopause and the 20 something girls they chase donât want them. It is always the fault of women when it comes to matters of reproductive health. It is their fault if they become a single mother. It is their fault if they donât get to start a family until theyâre 40+. It is their fault if they choose to be child free because of the state of the world and the amount of trust it requires to have a child with someone.
Why are grandpa-dads something weâre expected to turn a blind eye to and women over 40 having their first baby something weâre supposed to be angry at?

may be a hot take but i think the fact minors can access 18+ content by just clicking a button that says 'yes im totally over 18 trust me' is like. totally fine tbh. its a non-issue. i dont care if curious teenagers are looking at porn. they've been doing that for as long as porn has existed. id rather teens explore their sexuality through images on the internet than rush into real life experiences when they're not ready for it yknow. the UK is trying to put stricter age verification in place (which in turn is becoming an online privacy nightmare) and like. for what. who is it helping. why is this a problem.

Dudes will be like â50/50 custody should be automaticâ solely because they donât want to pay child support and then they get 50/50 custody and HAVE to take care of their kids 50% of the time AND pay child support because they made their ex be a SAHM and then theyâre sobbing and crying and throwing up about that too. It is just bizarre to me how many of these anti-child support crusaders have no idea how child support works. Know your enemy. Dudes who have never done the bulk of the child care going for primary custody out of spite and a desire to pay no child support and then immediately regretting it always cracks me up too. Primary custody is more labor intensive and financially draining than just paying the goddamn child support but theyâll do anything to avoid coughing up $100 a week so their kid has shoes.
