  Two anons demonstrate two sides of the misogyny coin

    The first one isn’t misogyny. Minus the specifivity of the “$2 million” part, its the Jewish tradition of what is required for a man to be able to propose. “Having kids is too expensive” is just the straight-up truth for anyone who isn’t uncommonly comfortable relying on charity and/or society.

    Like, are we going off the avatar, pretending a woman who says those things is crazy? Because she’s absolutely not, and neither are the men trying to live up to those items, at a minimum.

      I don’t know how Jewish it is, but it is part of a general trend of how society treats marriage.

      Generations back, marriage was considered the beginning, a cornerstone for building an adult life on. Now, it’s shifted more towards a capstone, a thing that you can add to your life once you get your shit together. That has shifted expectations in dating, as well as expectations of how independent young adults need to be.

      And it has pushed back expectations of what it means to be ready to have children. And once a higher percentage of parents have more money when they have kids, it also subtly shifts the expectations of parenting, as well:

      “Having kids is too expensive” is just the straight-up truth for anyone who isn’t uncommonly comfortable relying on charity and/or society.

      What’s wrong with relying on society? Having a good family and social circle is basically the most important part of being ready to have kids. My wife and I waited till we were rich before having kids, but we still heavily rely on our family, friends, and neighbors to enrich our children’s lives, while also being there for them and their children: rotating babysitting duties if some parents want to go on a date or even go out of town, rotating dinner hosting so only one family has to cook and clean, getting the kids together so that they can play and socialize, etc. We can’t do the parenting thing in isolation, but I don’t think society expects us to.

  could we maybe stop downvote bombing greentexts with takes we disagree with? 🙄

  obviously the author has some toxic ass views but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an interesting/entertaining greentext to read

  the only posts on this sublemmy that should get downvoted are irrelevant and/or boring greentexts

    If you don’t want baffling, fucked up takes, then you don’t want green texts, go to a microblogging community. I feel like the entire point of being here is to see the insanity without engaging with or or condoning it.

    Am I so out of touch?

    It’s the racism. You can be interested and entertained by it, but many people prefer not to condone it.

    No, that’s exactly what that means, in fact. Stop the bullshit.
