@WimShakespeare Not fat, cleaned the house, and taking care of her feet. Bless her.

النساء يتركن عملهن وأعمالهن من أجل حياة مريحة ويفضلن الزواج.

@HazelAppleyard I think marriage shows you're committed to each other, & therefore is a very sensible precursor to having kids together. I've also seen some absolutely disgusting divorce court decisions. Some jurisdictions really need reform, or a lot of people will continue to feel this way.

She’s absolutely right.

@Madeinavalon @aander1987 @Blacksword011 K, well… ah… ok… um… … Twitter’s not a good control group, alright?

@DanM43549751 @aander1987 @Blacksword011 Yep, women are always looking for things to complain about. That’s what I like about most men, they are very stoic and never complain about anything.

What men don’t understand about the mental load

@HazelAppleyard Always annoys me when they have kids… No kid wants their dad suddenly starting to look to them for validation of his “womanhood”.

I love her

@ThomasSowell Gazans wouldn’t allow her to dress like that.

This was painful to watch.

@Madeinavalon @aander1987 @Blacksword011 Some of us do daily tasks with the kids, kitchen, etc., and still get whined at about things like ‘mental load’. Some women just aren’t very stoic and anything to complain about will do in a pinch.

@aander1987 @Blacksword011 Sorry this is a poor argument even if you believe in strictly gendered family roles - 24/7 total family mental load vs remembering to fuel car or occasionally buy tyres or flip a fuse? Blindness to inequity is what holds women back in all walks of life. What they need is a wife.

@Blacksword011 “Mental load” is the kind of thing you point to when you need to be a victim but don’t have anything better.

@reddit_lies Random capitalization of the word “wanted” in the middle of a sentence. Maybe she did the world a favour.

No one ever talks about abortion regret.

@mazemoore Oh… that explains a lot about her. That kind of childhood trauma will have you making messed up decisions for the rest of your life.

Gavin Newsom's wife recalls telling prisoners at San Quentin about running over and killing her sister with a golf cart. She said that she wasn't punished because it was an accident but that the prisoners are doing life even though theirs was "probably an accident too."

@missdarnyl @libsoftiktok He’s not. He’s just explaining that when he was a child too young to know better, his doctors gave him poor care because they were brainwashed or bullied into uncritically following a medical fad.

@libsoftiktok why is he acting like they tied his hands and forced him to take hormone blockers? LMAO, this is obviously an MAGA stunt to malign the image of the trans community

Democrat CA State Sen. Scott Wiener SQUIRMS as a 23-year-old man rips into transgenderism for permanently destroying his body. "They poison my body with blockers and hormones... The result? I'm a 23-year-old gay man who's never had an orgasm."

@reddit_lies Bit of an aside, but… can one actually “steal” garbage?

What in the…

@fandompulse I think you can do it if you do your best to steelman both sides (like proponents of each side would do their best to do in a real life argument), or if you truly have an enlightening, original example. But I definitely get his frustration - so many authors are so ham-handed.

Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir on social commentary in books: "I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that." "I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that." "To that end, I also don’t talk about my personal political opinions publicly. I don’t want readers to even know, honestly. I don’t want that in the back of their minds as they read my stuff." Is this why he has the #1 sci-fi movie in decades?

@Acyn Yes… of course when you only ever care about schools that were blown up with jihadis nearby, we know it’s not the schools that you care about.

Piker: Every single dollar that is spent on a bomb is stolen from each of you because that’s a dollar that they spend blowing up a school overseas instead of building schools in your neighborhood.

@Matt76613631 @reddit_lies and was a problem.

@reddit_lies The fact that they require an application means some guy tried this previously.

@TheChiefNerd You will get more of what you subsidize. If you want successful black people, reward success, not failure.

🚨 MAMDANI: “The wealth of a median white household in the city is more than $200,000, while that of a black household is less than $20,000 … We are reckoning with the long history of racism here and starting to act upon a framework that puts equity right at the center of it.”

@HazelAppleyard ??? I didn’t notice a visible difference after my wife had 3 kids.

Ouch insult to injury 😬

@shoe0nhead A great argument for small government.

doing my taxes right now knowing its all going to fraud, pedophiles and israel

@dream_fudge @VigilantFox Lol. Historically illiterate.

@VigilantFox Sorry Billy boy, but look at photos of Tehran or Beirut in the 50's and you'll see women in ultra liberal attire. Her point is valid.

Bill Maher asks Ana Kasparian which Middle Eastern country she would feel comfortable wearing “that dress” and then this happened. MAHER: “If you had to live in the Middle East. Any city. Where would you live where you’d be comfortable in that dress?” ANA: “I’m sure I would not be comfortable in this dress in any of the various Middle Eastern countries that have been destabilized by—” MAHER INTERRUPTS: “Really? You’re not really blaming it on whitey, are you? You’re blaming Islam on whitey?” ANA: “I’m not blaming Islam on whitey.” MAHER: “But what you’re saying is we destabilize? That’s why you can’t wear that dress?” ANA: “Did we destabilize?” MAHER: “Wait a second.” ANA: “We were funding terrorist organizations in Syria during the Syrian civil war starting under the Obama administration.” MAHER: “We’re talking about your dress.” ANA: “It looks good, I know.” MAHER: “You’re saying you can’t wear that dress in Syria because of whitey destabilizing?” ANA: “I didn’t say that.” MAHER: “Okay, that’s what it sounded like… When I asked about the dress, you went right to destabilize. So is that why you couldn’t wear that dress?” ANA: “You want me to talk about jihadism and Islam.” MAHER: “Why won’t you? Why won’t you?” ANA: “I don’t believe in jihadism, which is why I’m furious the United States just had significant Al Qaeda terrorists in the White House.” MAHER: “But it’s not just jihadism that is preventing you from wearing that dress there. Are you saying every Muslim is a jihadist? I don’t think they are.” ANA: “Bill. Bill, Bill, Bill. Let’s focus for a second.” MAHER: “No, you won’t answer this question.”

@VigilantFox Apparently “western destabilization” is responsible for all the problems in the Islamic world… except that they were capturing and castrating slaves en masse for long periods of time while nobody was “destabilizing” them.

@HazelAppleyard I’m sure when your former partner isn’t around, any man who gives your kid the time of day and lets you both hang out in his house looks like prime marriage material.

I kinda feel bad for her ngl I’d still kick her out though
