Teacher friend of mine (ex friend) came out saying ice just arrested drug dealers and bad people and no one else. Uh. She married for a green card, so I hope that works out for her.

Only with enthusiastic consent. :)

Oh we are. But alas, pesky standards.

Indeed. It’s Wholesome.

I’m sure they’re making that entirely up. No one is a super star on their first birth, let alone someone who is physically not finished developing.

I think one other thing that’s super important to add on to this list is “desirable partners.” The current generation of young men have leaned hard into the alt-right pipeline while young women have become more left leaning as their rights are being threatened loudly and chipped away at globally.

And guess who the fathers to those teen pregnancies are? It’s men over 20. Adding a layer of ick to what he’s lamenting.

Tbh I think they really only slowed down because it was the absolute dead of winter.

This is a good point to bring up. My friend who is far less educated and her husband have awful jobs compared to me, but because they have generational wealth they are much better off in life. They have homes, land, etc all because they were passed down. At the same time, they would rail against being called privileged, but they could sell that home for half a million dollars and never go into the debts or put in the work others have to just to have a roof over their heads.

I wash my clothes after I wear them, each time. Unwashed clothes get a certain funk, even if they look clean. You can always tell when people do this. It’s a little metallic.

I work with a dude who wears a D.A.R.E. shirt every day and he’s absolutely on drugs lol.

Anecdotally, last week I (middle aged lady) was approached by two strange men. One tried to grab me outside my work site, and one told me how lovely I was and asked for my number (in target). It’s much, much worse for young women. It’s not manufactured, unlike the doubt of women’s lived experience seems to be.
