In an off and on discussion about free school lunches, a lady claimed I “can’t call yourself a Christian if you don’t understand the simple concept of give a man a fish/teach a man to fish”. Leaving me to inform her that wasn’t in the Bible nor was it a Christian quote.
Holy crap, people like THIS should not have kids. “Nobody will help you but yourself”. This poor child can’t even expect HIS FATHER to help him. Can you imagine this child trying to build trusting relationships later in life. Bless him.
So, I’m not a stay at home mom, but my mother was for a while when we were younger and this, uh, doesn’t sound like a description of her life. Getting up whenever she wanted? Nope. Sipping tea on the couch in the middle of the day? Nope. Take it easy when she was sick? LMAO
I do not know one single woman whose entire and only purpose in life is men. I could be wrong. Do any of y’all know a woman or are a woman who lives only for men and their attention? Would you lay down and die if men suddenly didn’t exist?
The arrogance of wanting all women forced to live like you because it would make YOU happier and give you more people identical to yourself to be “in community” with. 🙄 Why not just form community and care for people who are diverse?
@yamihere333
All the rest seems valid? Like being able to jump up and sightsee WHENEVER she wants? Or to be able to lay down all responsibilities when sick?
@shesbonky
Similar here. No abortions, no sex, tubes tied because of health issues, asexual person, and I’m still pro-choice because everyone should have the right to make decisions for their own body.
@susiecubone
I agree. No one is gonna be able to manage if they are already starving while you are trying to help them make provisions for themselves. And also, this discussion was about school children, how are actually children supposed to bootstrap themselves out of food insecurity?
No one has to have children. Not single men, not single women, not married or partnered folks. No one’s life is “less” for not having children and no one is better at doing this life thing just because they procreated. And it is absolutely not mandated by Christianity either.

@mainecoonmommy
Even a 13 year old needs a parent willing to remind them of things sometimes and not trying to prove to them that most everyone is out to get them. Children’s brains are literally not finished yet, even 13 year olds.
They truly need help. Where do you have to be in life to think this is gonna have good outcomes? How much history does one have to ignore? Is it JUST for rage bait and they don’t really believe anything they say? If so, they are selling their soul and dignity for Twitter clout.
@TyphinaRex
I think the second tweet is the most dangerous part of it. Hyper individualism is not how a society functions well. Distrust of others inherently is not how a society functions well. People, for the most part, are not “against” each other.
@angejask
He wasn’t being asked to drop something off at school. He didn’t even bother saying anything when he knew the child didn’t have it before they left. That’s not just raising “unentitled” adults, it’s raising bitter adults.
@NMoonitz
Hi! I’m a self-sufficient, functioning adult whose parents didn’t teach me that I can’t trust anyone to help me, even them. This lesson and the way this guy taught it was completely unnecessary.
@JDShuttlesworth
I wouldn’t say all the tension is gone. Those who are immunocompromised or who have to travel with young children are probably going to be pretty tense. . . oh, you just mean that YOU (and people like you) are more comfortable and that’s all that matters, gotcha.
@whittyphoto
That, of course, doesn’t happen to everyone and I hope it doesn’t happen to her. I’d just be happy if folks stop misrepresenting what being a SAHM is like to try and convince others to jump in to it.
@BrokenTriPod10
The lesson that everyone wants to see you fail and no one will ever help you? Yeah, that’s not a good lesson. That stunts people into adulthood.
@itskellydiane
@yamihere333
Baby, no one is saying the things you claim. I’m just not gonna sit around and see folks belittle the effort, energy, and sacrifice it takes to be a stay at home mom and make it sound like a vacation day in and day out.
Such a dangerous thing to tell women when you don’t know their situations and what their partner might seek to get them to do. To tell them they shouldn’t have any boundaries or even preferences about what is done to their bodies or when and where this might be required.
@PotluckLauren
Generally, adult people of different skin colors or genders aren’t likely to start screaming in the middle of the ceremony, though. I’ve never been to a wedding where children were prohibited, but I can see the point and that your comparison is off.

“Very few bathroom stalls in the US are enclosed”. Dang, what are y’all DOING in the Midwest? Y’all just have a row of toilets side by side and you sit and chat with your neighbor while you are pooping? Also, are you putting your eyeball up to those gaps,cause I don’t see in them
@SusiePsycho2014
😂 Same. I was babysitting some friends’ kids for a few days and slipped away to take a bath, like 5 minutes later a child was knocking on the bathroom door going “miss lissa when are you coming out”. No breaks whatsoever.
Why are some grown people such babies? “I can’t breathe in a mask?” Unless you have some extreme and uncommon conditions, you can breathe in a mask. I TAUGHT in a mask for 2 years. Moving around the room, projecting over kids and the AC. The incessant whining from some kills me.

There is no surer way to get me to never EVER put up Christmas lights than to leave one of these “friendly” notes for me. I’d probably even pull my shades from then on so my Christmas tree couldn’t be seen from the street.

This is what those of us who are pro-choice keep saying will happen. And what a great many of the politicians who court the pro-life vote WANT to happen.
@ask_aubry
The point of the Haka is to appear scary, right? And I’m sure I’ve seen men perform it with those exaggerated “scary” faces, just because the one other screen cap they shared isn’t one of those doesn’t mean anything. For example:
@mtnhousewife
I think this is a bit dangerous to teach generally, when you don’t know what their spouse might want. To have no boundaries whatsoever? To not express discomfort in situations that might be degrading or painful? What works in your specific relationship might not be best for all.
for hers”. And honestly, I wouldn’t have commented on this post at all, but I don’t want anyone using the fact that I managed to pay for my small student loan to argue against help for others. So, I had to respond. Anyway, I’ve probably reminded community people that I’m weird.
@breast_meat
Hey, she wasn’t mean to the kid. Also, I have the right to bring my LEASHED pets in public without having to deal with someone harassing them or me.
Headed to the church Mother/Daughter dinner in just a bit because it’s important to my mom and I love her, but also getting prepared to hear the same old cliches that devalue single/childless/child-free women that usually come up at these things. So that’s fun.

I can’t stand folks that attempt to bully and insult and then claim THEY are the victim if someone pushes back against their abuse. She has some extreme issues.
@BadMedicalTakes
Even relatively normal periods are messy and disruptive and come with a variety of discomfort, when we add in a variety of issues that women can and do face with them, then they can get down right horrible.
@EKTwrites
Mine were usually farmers and my Pa would set up auctions with plastic farm animals and my Barbies would bid on cows, chickens, pigs, and horses to take home to join their farm.
Pretty sure the lurker will see this because they can’t help themselves, but I’d like to ask in general. . . Do y’all think a 9-12 year old should be considered a “woman” simply because they have started menstruating? I started when I had JUST turned 10 years old. NOT a woman.
Haha, at first I thought she was defining what a “good friend” should be instead of being one of her vague posts about a possible person. I was like, why is “no snacking” a requirement for a good friend? Anyway, sad to see that snacks are now ungodly and undisciplined.
Found out that an eighth grader in our school district killed himself yesterday. I didn’t know him, I probably would have had him in class next year. He left a note that said he couldn’t take the bullying anymore and my heart breaks for him. That he felt so lost and alone.
Yeah, the Gospel doesn’t have anything to do with feeding the hungry (Matt 25:40) or not neglecting justice (Luke 11:42) or the Golden Rule (Matt 7:12). What book are these folks reading?
@pegharpham1
Both of my grandfathers were crap. My grandmothers were scrounging to keep multiple kids alive with fewer resources to allow them to do that.
Y’all, I got on Facebook this morning. It was a mistake. Saw a church friend post that “I’m paying for my student loans, I can’t pay for yours”. Y’all, this lady is from one of the wealthiest families in this county. She has a law degree. And my mom posted under it “Melissa paid

Except that often doesn’t work and all they have to do is take down the comment at the moment and they are still free to comment things that come right up to line with the understanding that they believe in crossing the line.
@EmmaVigeland
I disagree. Many have already stated this, but I live in a super conservative area where it actually encourages people to know that there are those who support them and that we aren’t as alone as we sometimes feel. Just seems like a bad take to mock that.
Are any of y’all having orgasms from riding a bicycle? Am I doing it wrong? Some lovely photos of horses in this 🦇💩 thread, though. He seems to really be upset about horses stealing away the women-folk.

I’d like her to explain exactly how blanket training is done if no hitting is involved. That’s certainly not the way I’ve heard it described. And unless I’m confusing it for someone else, it’s not how her mentor the Pearls described it.
@Liz_Wheeler
Feminism is what allows women to have careers. It isn’t “lies”, it’s simply a movement to allow women choice because marriage isn’t always wonderful, not all women want to have kids or be married. So, the ability to choose those things are not is what feminism is.

Forcing a womb to miscarry sounds like what we might call an abortion. And while it’s written as very mystical and curse like here, there was probably a very real list of ingredients for the abortificant that the priests created to make her drink.
I haven’t been seeing Owen’s posts for a minute, but in the past few days I’ve seen two that I. . . actually agree with. What is going on in this crazy world?
@NathanielJolly
Nathaniel, seriously, who do you think was doing all the abusing in this report? Who were the ones with the power to shield them? THIS is the absolute result of imperfect men having absolute control. No amount of “but Godly men protect women” makes up for the fact they didn’t.

She actually wants the school system “dismantled” because of “indoctrination” and refused to answer me several times when I asked what programs she would support that would teach people how to make their own provisions.

You are the real MVP. Whether it was playing or not, I’ve been the person who was “playfully” thrown in before. I didn’t find it fun or enjoyable. Honestly, throwing folks in pools should just NOT be a thing.

Absolutely prefer cats to someone who thinks I’m “poison” or “cruel” for not throwing myself at incels who think they deserve a woman simply because he exists.
