I posted the same exact photo four or five years ago and some were literally mad at me. 
@EmilyQ that’s a great question considering I’ve given serious thought on the matter. Speaking of children, I took a banked holiday today specifically to hang out with them thinking there would be much snow up play around in. Unfortunately there is not enough that fell. So I’ll be busy, but I plan on expanding upon that thought tonight or tomorrow.
The film, Woman King, pushes the idea that women can do anything men can do, including engage in warfare, of the face to face, hand to hand kind. It uses the supposed historical precedence set by the Dahomey Amazons to prove this point. Of course, the film was not historically accurate and the Dahomey were absolutely outfought and outclassed by the French Foreign Legion. In fact, the way the Legionnaires defeated the Dahomey could be described as casually. But the film wants to push the idea that women can do anything men can do, including kill (because that is a virtue to be proud of), and in doing so it defeminizes what it means to be a woman. The title itself by using king distorts the idea that there are differences between the sexes that should be maintained and more importantly valued if not celebrated. I don’t want to be a woman, I’m happy being a man. I don’t know why a woman would not want to be a woman. It seems like progressive feminists are the real misogynists.
SkyzykS made the point that women do have a stake as they are the mothers, grandmothers, wives and sisters, and even daughters, of the men who serve in combat.
Look at her father.
We’ve moved on to the evolved biological trait of hypergamic peanut butter, try to keep up
Oh, so the question is: creamy vs crunchy?
We’ve reached a point where political divides are down lines of fundamental belief systems vs. disagreements on the best way to manage commonly agreed upon problems. Politics are tied to morality and day to day personal decisions now, so the phenomenon is likely here to stay.
Yeah. Prison gang mentality. Next step: start stabbing people over candy bars.
I want less government and freedom of association, which we don’t have. Though I don’t want to derail this thread away from the main topic—sex—I am curious if you can clarify what you mean. Are you talking about coming to some “center” on disagreed-upon issues? That’s been spoken about a few times on here. Me personally, I don’t think I can come to some center with people who make my society messy, alienating, vulgar, and violent, or condone conditions for that.
It’s called a “peaceful protest,” and you take televisions.
Pretty sure I saw you eating a snickers in the yard after commissary.
You didn’t think I forgot about the ramen I fronted you last month, did you?
I agree on less government and would consider myself conservative in a classic, small government sort of way more so than the current socially active definition.
One example would be border control. Not long ago, even during Obama’s presidency, the party line was that the border must be kept secure and illegal immigration should be policed. As we know from photos falsely attributed to Trump years later, Obama’s administration rounded up illegals, caged them and even separated families in an attempt to police the border and stem flow. Republicans agreed but wanted more volume, and pushed to round up illegals already in the country as well. Both sides agreed an open border and illegal immigration were problems but disagreed on intensity and methods of managing them. Officially Biden is still enforcing border control, but there is a chorus of rising leaders in the DNC who would like to see a blind eye, or even outright open borders. This is a point of contention that doesn’t have a center.
Drugs are another example. The “war on drugs” was a unified effort, now there’s a push to legalize them. Ironically marijuana seems to be a gateway to legalizing other drugs. Another point that doesn’t really have a center.
Female military combat roles would’ve been a ludicrous idea not long ago, and now there’s a push.
Sexualized school library content et cetera.
Good examples. There used to be a core of common ground based on human decency. The only real disagreement was “how”.
Now its a system of counter positions. “If you’re for this, then I’m against it”.
The only thing our representatives agree on is that they need more money.
I think this is true only in the context of the traditional female benefits of marriage being enforced through child support even in the absence of official marriage. If abolishing marriage meant that men don’t have any enforceable responsibility for the children that they sire, it would be much less beneficial to women.
I want my daughter trained for both, though I will tell her that domestic life, being a wife and mother, is of far greater importance than being an employee. I want her educated for a profession or a typically-female trade that can be done part time because if she wants numerous children–and she likely will because of what my wife, in-laws, and I are like, people who put importance on children and the family—she can work part-time if needed or wanted as she raises them during their first few years of life. So, that would typically be a profession in healthcare, such as some type of therapist (speech, occupational, or physical), social worker, or nurse, or a typically-female trade such as hairstyling (my wife is a stylist) or beautician. All those can be done part or full time. Perhaps she can learn some internet and computer skills to run an online business.
I will NOT exhort her to be a lawyer, executive, doctor, or any other type of professional requiring exorbitant amounts of accolades and grinding schedules that likely will interfere with her most fertile years and time with her possible future family. If she comes up with an idea for those on her own, that’s fine; but they won’t be coming from me.
She will be informed she has a timeline that she can’t cheat nature out of, and that as time passes, the chances of meeting the sort of man we want in the family will pass too.
Having babies with a man of high economic status can be done before career and education are embarked on, but unfortunately in this day and age, middle-class families need two incomes, even if such sorts of men want stay-at-home wives.
I would like my daughter to be educated because of the importance of cultivating talents and knowledge in and of itself. But unfortunately, for pragmatic reasons, most women need to work. We don’t live in the days when many women got married and had babies at eighteen to 22 years old (my maternal grandma was eighteen). And sadly, I predict the availability of worthy suitors in the future to diminish even further than they have, for the following reasons:
This discussion is some of the real sexual education a daughter needs, not just “make sure you take the pill and have the guy wear a rubber. Or abstain. Just whatever you do, don’t get pregnant." (I don’t remember much else from sex ed in high school. Did anyone learn anything else?)
Nope. That was a 2 week module in 8th grade health class.
That was about it!
This actually made me smile. Two weeks for two or three sentences. Lol.
Yep. We learned the anatomy, roughly, and functions of the parts. Then approximately how to use them.
Quite a few of us had already figured out the last part.
I never had any.
I learned anatomy from reading medical textbooks and learned about the mechanics from some soft porn my friend told me to check out when I asked.
I still don’t understand how the logistics work without serious pain. “Trust me, it stretches” isn’t very convincing……….
I mean, it does do a wonderful job of stretching though.
Have you never used a vibrator or dildo or anything? From my understanding, most women do better when they understand and discover their sexuality on their own - before any experience with men.
Not like I have the anatomy to check, but discomfort on the ‘stretching’ part of sex is probably due to not relaxing.
Feel free not to answer any of this too - it’s just a thread about sex (or lack thereof) and it seems you opened the door.
