Just as an example - when you’re on a limited income and the kid just dropped the eggs and broke all of them because they insisted they weren’t carrying too much but that was the budgeted eggs for the week.
Then you’ll learn why your parents were asking you to do that chore in a specific way.
Humans are pretty bad at communication and there are a bunch of different ways a joke like that could have landed and it’s all dependent on the people involved.
One person’s joke to gently point out that their kid is probably grabbing too much stuff can easily be another person’s brusque and dismissive comment about their kid being lazy.
I’m sorry that your feelings were hurt by your mom.
This is a huge one! My mom’s life imploded due to her inability to handle peri and menopause. Thank goodness for the internet on this one, though it would be so much more helpful to hear from other women in person.
Vocal is the key word there.
I have lovely friends who have chosen not have to children. It’s great when people choose their own path and others respect it. I was on the fence when it came to having kids for most of my life.
Then there’s people who forcefully tell you that not only have they chosen to not have children, but that any woman who chooses to do so are just breeders and children are crotchfruit and fuck trophies that should only be seen and not heard.
There’s a significant difference. And my own path has crossed with other women who have judged my decision for parenthood harshly based only on their own belief that what they have chosen for themselves is superior to all other choices.
Just FYI, mothers still face discrimination and disrespect, too. It’s not like sexism disappears when a woman has a child.
Parenthood.
There’s a lot of mom-shaming that comes from other women for a variety of reasons. I wish there was more respect for the millions of ways one can parent their children and more comradery amongst moms instead of competition. Don’t even get me started on vocal childfree women.
Raising children is so difficult and not just physically. It’s incredibly healing to be able to lean on other women on this topic.
Nah you were being snarky and you know it.
Are you seriously asking for evidence on this? That some work should be done meticulously and some work can be done quickly and that it can be situational?
Really?
They literally provide two examples on quality of work vs time spent on work before the song link.
when I was a kid. I was helping bring in the groceries and was carrying as much as I could (which was a lot, but obviously not more than I could handle)
Y’know that children are notoriously bad at judging things like that, right? Obviously I don’t know the guy, but I would have easily said this as a joke at how many things my kid was trying to carry at once even though that ups the odds of dropping and breaking things.
A federal appeals court has restricted access to one of the most common means of abortion in the U.S. by blocking mailing of prescriptions of mifepristone.
A panel of the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is requiring that the abortion pill be distributed only in person at clinics.
“Every abortion facilitated by FDA’s action cancels Louisiana’s ban on medical abortions and undermines its policy that ‘every unborn child is human being from the moment of conception and is, therefore, a legal person,’” the ruling states.
Pretty much. It’s the 5th circuit being assholes again.
Do you usually force yourself into spaces where you’re not welcome?
If it’s a contributor, then it isn’t all fucking made up, now is it?
If you read the article and the study it references, selective sex abortion has affected these numbers.
Its not the only reason, but this is also not my only comment about it here.
Turns out when you allow sex-selective abortions and inflate the importance of men above women, there’s more men in the population and more competition for being able to procreate.
TLDR There’s too many men around.
Reproductive-age populations show a growing male surplus around the globe as aconsequence of declining mortality, narrowing sex differences in mortality, and sex-selective abortions in some countries. Population structures are important determinantsof marriage markets and childbearing. In this study, we estimate the past, current, andfuture difference between the male and the female total fertility rates around the worldusing an established indirect demographic approach drawing on data from the UNWorld Population Prospects. Our results indicate a crossover from historically highermale fertility to increasingly higher female fertility, which occurs globally in 2024.This shift is not toward parity, but rather reflects a growing disparity driven by theincreasing male surplus at reproductive ages, which exerts downward pressure on malefertility rates relative to those of women. The difference is expected to grow to up to20% in countries like China and India, where sex-selective abortion has reinforced seximbalances in population structures. Overall, we highlight the growing sex inequalitiesin reproduction and call for more research on sex differences in fertility.
“The key finding is that we are observing a shift from a higher total fertility rate among men to a higher total fertility rate among women, which has occurred globally in 2024. This shift is driven by an increase in the proportion of men in the population,’ explains Schubert, a researcher at the MPIDR. Schubert and his colleagues attribute this to long-term trends such as falling mortality, narrowing mortality gaps between women and men, and the link to sex-selective abortions in some countries.”
They put her in a lot of danger this way and intentionally because they wanted men in her location to be able to recognize her.
