@MeetJess What's at issue here?

USA, are you ok ?

@IncelsCo You don't need to attract women. Just a single woman

Boomers really think being a "nice guy" with a 9-5 is enough to attract women in 2025, like dating hasn't evolved since 1985.

@ZeusIsARed @actualAlexJames @ArtemisShebu Idk, I would say banning half the population from an entire industry disqualifies him from even speaking the word libertarian

@actualAlexJames @ArtemisShebu You're a libertarian. Any opinion you have is of 0 value, and the kids in childcare would have a more workable worldview.

I support this. Why should a man be a childcare worker?

@ArtemisShebu @actualAlexJames "farming isn't a job, it's a necessity people need because we need food"

@actualAlexJames Yep. Fuck 'em off - go get a real job, a wife, and raise your own kids if you just love educating children. Child care isn't a job - it's a necessity families need because of shit governments and crap fiscal policy. Mothers should be able to afford to care for their own children.

@imthemysterybox @keepnit1hundo @docteetor @DivineVampy @grok @MomsPostingLs You realize the sample size of... *checks notes*... MILLIONS OF MARRIAGES every year, is gigantic to an absolutely unheard degree in social sciences, right? Like wtf are you smoking?

@TheNot @davidgaw @mattyglesias Paying for literally everything is pretty minimal, kek

@Xafication @davidgaw @mattyglesias They don't. No one anywhere comes even vaguely close to making up the gap in net child economic value for families. Even the Nordics are pretty minimal overall by comparison.

@TheNot @davidgaw @mattyglesias Nordics do this to a degree that's absolutely absurd and their birth rates are even lower. So no, that's not it

@davidgaw @mattyglesias No, we could just significantly shift the costs of children from families to the state. The main issue is that it takes *far longer* in industrialized economies for children to become meaningfully productive, and with a much wider gap in that eventual productivity level.

@davidgaw @mattyglesias The liberal version of female empowerment and sustainable family structures are fundamentally incompatible. They are polar opposites and cannot physically coexist. It's quite obvious, because it takes a woman physically delivering a child, during which she can't work

@mattyglesias What if it's true? Not that disempowering women is a solution, but that in a world of fairness and universal empowerment, there just isn't a solution? Maybe advanced societies just naturally die out because of this.

@dehenau_ @mattyglesias You might have something remotely resembling a point if the current US was the entirety of world history. Look at any other country or any other time in history and you'll instantly see this has nothing to do with it

@mattyglesias We didn’t build enough housing for those families to live in. You can’t create people if they have nowhere to live

@mattyglesias You will call any solution disempowering to women (whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean), because having kids will mean women being out of the work force more, by pure physical necessity. There's no way around that. So you really just don't want to solve the problem at all

@ZbynekDrab @mattyglesias There are plenty of things we can do, but anything that works is inherently unpalatable to liberals, because they don't actually want to solve the problem. Having kids means women are out of the work force more. There's no way around that. It's an impossible equation

@mattyglesias If you ask what would work, you will get answers to that question, including unpalatable or impractical ones You could instead ask what we can realistically do that would work, to which nobody has an answer

@ikirigin @mattyglesias A graph doesn't complain. A graph just presents data...

@mattyglesias This graph is so dumb too. High school level education is what they appear to be complaining about. Totally nuts

@Suzierizzo1 You reap what you sow. You tried calling LITERALLY everything racist (like you are now) and get surprised when people stop giving a shit?

It blows my mind how easy it is for racists to show themselves now! 😡

@ShitpostRock Almost like making a balanced sport wasn't relevant to the story at all

@n243227 @brenspole @Caraz_AU @OMGTheMess Yeah no... Not even close... Women are orders of magnitude lower on sex drive, they just don't contain it at all, because men will never deny them. Guess why? Because the man has a higher sex drive...

@brenspole @Caraz_AU @OMGTheMess Wow woman genuinely have a higher sex drive than man. We were out the can go and go and go and go again. Maybe keep your lack of experience with sex of the internet, you are the problem in today’s society you spam with your uneducated information.

Unpopular opinion Men should not be banned from childcare Inappropriate men should A blanket ban sets unfortunate precedents A female can do it too theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…

@brenspole @OMGTheMess You realize women commit proportionally more abuse, right?

@YamilSenior @HoneyBadgerBite Do you know how many dead bedrooms there are among married families?

@HoneyBadgerBite Incel stands for involuntary celibate. How are fathers incels?

What’s the word for women who treat men badly?

@HoneyBadgerBite Woman

@Pirat_Nation Dude... Just get a room already...

@KSquared1919 @EvilElko @MrsButters Even assuming that bullshit is true, how does that make celebrating dying kids a good thing?

@EvilElko @MrsButters You can't handle the truth. Trump Administration Is Blocking Disaster Aid to States | Scientific American share.google/vMQ4bpLhaE55wk…

Ruh-roh Texas. Whatcha gonna do? There's no FEMA to pick you up by your bootstrap. They gave it all to ICE.
