Let me let you in on a little secret about 1990s nostalgia: you don't miss Blockbuster or dine-in Pizza Hut. You miss analog life with other people who weren't distracted and were really present to enjoy mundane moments with you.

Millennials who are very cavalier about not having children are in for a shock when they enter their 40s & realize life is only half over. What do you do at that point? Keep trying to be sexy & have fun? I expect to see a lot of sadness & confusion about what to do at that point.

What I have learned from the replies here is that there is something called "socialization" that is absolutely critical to producing the most depressed, anxious, medicated and gender confused populace in human history, and it is Very Bad that homeschoolers do not receive it.

For almost all of human history, the choice was: celibacy or babies. Those limits were very good for us in some very important ways. Marriage and exclusivity flowed naturally out of them, together with culturally-appropriate gender roles. Marriage really is natural.

Of course, the fact that a poor quality image of a slurry of scrambled, bleached leftovers doesn't look much like a baby doesn't mean it isn't one. That's a deeply fallacious and philosophically ignorant argument that sidesteps embryology and metaphysics. 4/

College-educated men are now more likely than college-educated women to attend church--a major historical oddity. The leftward, secular lurch we've seen among women in the last 15 yrs is tough to overstate. This has huge implications for ministry, dating, and more.

Whoa: 🚨Relationship between gender & religious attendance has flipped for (college-educated) men🚨 Used to be that women attended church more in general. But now... ✔️ 32% of college-edu men attend weekly VS ✔️ 27% of college-edu women New research by @ryanburge :

Getting your moral reasoning straight on abortion early will really steady you through tough times for pro-lifers like the last 2 years. Call me an extremist, a zealot, advocate of a losing cause, whatever. I don't care. You simply don't kill babies. Public opinion is irrelevant.

Who do they imagine they're winning over with this stuff? Democrats? It's like an intentional campaign of self-sabotage. Just ruthlessly suppressing their own base right before the election, spouting Planned Parenthood slogans.

I think even religious conservatives underestimate the extent to which current sexual and gender insanity + the mental health crisis are the fallout of several decades of divorce culture and "kids are resilient" thinking.

I saw this video a while back about how bizarre it is that we all just accepted the transition into being perpetually "on call" and expected to answer text messages and emails right away, and how no humans have ever been subjected to that kind of demand. I think about it a lot.

Adding girls to The Lost Boys subverts the deeper meaning of the story in a way I doubt they realize. Wendy is a symbolic civilizing influence *because* she's the first girl, whom they label their "mother." Par for the course in 2023, I'm afraid.

The point, of course, was to suggest that what comes out of a woman after an abortion doesn't look as disturbingly much like a baby as the images those nasty pro-lifers show you would seem to suggest. It actually looks a bit like semen or mucus! Whew! 3/

If men initiated 70% of divorces, the condemnation would be unequivocal and incurious, and the assumed motives would be the worst possible. But inform people that, in fact, women initiate 70% of divorces, and watch the immediate squirming and contorting to justify or explain it.

I've pointed this out often. There is a radical failure of charity at the heart of most "purity culture" critiques--a refusal to represent the intentions of pastors, parents, & authors of last generation, who were fighting fierce cultural headwinds, in a way they would recognize.

@mbird12 @GShaneMorris I was a youth minister in the 90’s. I never said, “sex is dirty.” I said sex is awesome but is a gift reserved for marriage by God.

It's hard to avoid the conclusion that something was really off in the culture of Contemporary Christian Music from the beginning. Lots of it has blessed me, including Caedmon's Call. But man, this is a dark ending.

The agreed-upon social censures for publicly appearing with more than the trendy number of kids always make me laugh: "You know what causes that?" "You guys are done, right?" "Are you Catholic?" It's robotic. "Deviation from norm detected. Passive aggressive obloquy activated."

Actually, the more sexual partners you have before marriage, the less likely you are ever to wind up happily married:

People who wait till marriage to have sex must have waaaay worse sex, on average, than people who didn't wait. The gap must be huge.
