I feel like the #boymom thing is for women who have to deal with raising a child whose interests are so far from their own. TBH I was pretty disappointed when I found out I was having a boy, not a girl. Sure, maybe he’ll grow up to be sensitive and be into things I like, like art, literature, cooking, yoga. But I’m…

something tells me you don’t have kids...

It was always so weird that Leo hung out with that gross group of betas

Well, babies have a heartbeat starting at 6 weeks. Before I got pregnant I didn’t realize that it really is a human being from very early on. Maybe not literally conception, but starting essentially from the moment you find out you’re pregnant, it’s not really a ‘clump of cells’ as I’d been led to believe from my…

It’s true but appearances are only going to continue to be more and more important as we shift more and more of our interactions to social media. Saying something nice like ‘everyone is worthy of love’ rings a bit hollow when our culture is increasingly obsessed with the number of likes a photo gets on Instagram. When…

Sure, just what we need, more products to buy !!

that was literally the opposite of what he said. He used them as examples of the more ideologically repellent people who we was nevertheless still able to cooperate with, because that was the spirit of the time.

it’s not unfair for someone to say you should take care of the children that you yourself chose to have !!

but if you read the op-ed it doesn’t amount to him saying women shouldn’t work; he is saying people with 6-figure incomes shouldn’t get tax breaks for childcare. So he tried to explain that that was what he was saying, and that Gillibrand was twisting it.

The crime bill was until very recently viewed as a huge success. Violent crime decreased dramatically all over the US. Thousands of lives were saved. That means nothing today ??

eh we lose to Trump no matter what

or - they picked him because they thought people might vote for him?! Who exactly were the other options?? The Dems don’t have anybody, isn’t that obvious by now??

It’s not that Biden is old that makes him capable of beating Trump. It’s that people know who he is, they like him, they respect the things he achieved with the Obama administration. Most of these candidates haven’t achieved anything, at least not in politics. Biden has a 40-year record full of successes and failures;…

if we don’t need to go back 40 years, then why is that what Gillibrand did? It was a weak, dumb attack, and made her look weak and dumb, desperate for a Kamala moment. 

eh I thought she didn’t land her attack, and Gabbard devastated her. Thought Biden came off better than Harris - what is her healthcare plan again?

people think Warren is too extreme, and that her policies would be impossible to implement.

I’m not sure what Gabbard’s history wrt Syria and Assad specifically are, but I do know that ‘apologizing’ for Assad isn’t indefensible, when you consider that the only other option is turning the country over to jihadi revolutionaries. There really isn’t a good option in Syria, but supporting Assad is maybe the least…

but you can lie about it - if you don’t actually identify as trans, then saying you do would be a lie, wouldn’t it? like claiming you’re gay when you’re not actually attracted to the same gender.

does saying transwomen and ciswomen are different make you a bigot though? I am not a part of the trans community so I don’t know all the ins and outs of what is acceptable to them, but I don’t really understand the distinction being made - are people saying that ciswomen and transwomen are different or not? Are…
