Hillary Clinton sharing it in a Tuesday post on X and adding sarcastically “what a normal, relatable guy who certainly doesn’t hate women having freedoms.”
Hillary should do more snark. Lean into the right-wing hate instead of trying to rise above it.
B-B-But Jeebus said “show them both cheeks”.
Oh, wait…,
“Lo, should thine enemies strike thine cheek, thou shalt goatse.”
*thy
It’s confusing because thine has two uses. One is as an adjective (as in “The enemies are thine”) and the other is as a pronoun, but only before a word that starts with a vowel sound, so it would be “thine enemies” but “thy cheek”. In that case, thy/thine works just like a/an.
Some of us find fulfillment in life without having to fill our emptiness with children, having change forced upon us. Some of us are perfectly capable whole human beings capable of bringing change into our lives at our own pace.
And some of us just don’t like children and the life experience they bring.
I’m 56, Cis SWM, my home is paid in full, my car is paid in full, I’m debt free, and my monthly bills (minus food) are $400/month and I retired from being an FTE last year. I still do some contract work here and there, mostly just for fun and to stay active in the Infosec space.
It’s fucking LOVELY
and the life experience they bring.
Preach. Some of us took care of our younger siblings when we were teenagers and that opened our eyes to how shit kids can be.
I babysat my cousin’s 3 kids under 5 for the year I lived in their basement (free rent trade)
And above all the noise and hassle and all, the day I knew kids definitely weren’t for me… was the day the parents went out for one of their “be home tomorrow, probably” nights, knowing full well at least one of the kids had the flu.
It ended up being all three of them. All I did all night was give baths, sooth crying, change bedding, and clean up vomit.
I managed to keep them alive and relatively comfortable, but I don’t ever want to do anything even close to that ever again.
For me it was opening a door finding my sister, her crib, and every surface in her room covered in shit. I cleaned her up but closed the door to her room and left the rest to the parental units and said ‘never again’.
I’ve had 3x nephews over for several days in a row, more than once. Oh god no thanks I won’t have children of my own. Was sure of it already as a teen long before that, have not changed my mind since.
Or took care of our older siblings children.
Shout out to all my fellow latchkey/free babysitter folks out there. I still resent that I never had a “real” summer vacation growing up.
Yeah, societal pressure to have children is ridiculous; I figured that I never felt any kind of desire to have a kid and that should be reason enough to not have one.
I’m married, 48, don’t have kids and never wanted them. It’s great, no regrets.
My mom is REALLY hoping that I have children and can’t accept that she’ll never be a grandmother. Best I can give her is animals

I’m very close to you but I did get married in my late 40’s and my wife was mid-40’s. Neither of us ever wanted kids, nor had either of us ever considered marriage until we met each other. The marriage is more about dealing with elderly parents, insurance, shared assets like our home, etc. than anything else.
Going against the grain is tough. As long as no one is hurt, you and I don’t care for not conforming. But the reality is that others don’t care what we care, and relish in putting down those who do not conform. But as Albert Camus said: “if you can’t win, resist.”
Since your children should be your first priority, I’d say not having kids would mean you could put your job as number one.
The thing is she has kids, not biological, but still kids.

My step parents completely ignored me.
Sorry Satan. If I had been your step parent we definitely woulda played lots of videogames together.
Which is great! Unless you hate Vidya in which case I probably look like some weird old nerd begging you to play smash brothers with me
This guy sells soul.
Emhoff’s kids call her Momala.
I talk to my stepmom more than I talk to my bio mom these days. I’m sorry you had to deal with that.
They missed out. In this regard, parents, step or not, can both ignore their kids. That’s on them.
It’s really encouraging to know that, based on your experience, her job will still be number one.
You get it!
That’s all your own fault. You just weren’t good enough.
I know.
Vance creeped the rapist’s poll numbers lower even before the Biden withdrawal.
He’d already cost the convicted felon. And every day gets better!
Who could have guessed that adding Hillbilly Idiot to Trump’s ticket would make it more unpopular?
So he’s explicitly saying that a preacher confused him about his sexuality, not trans people. I wonder who he blames?
JD Vance would be the first gay VP though. Good on him.
I’ll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I’m going to hell."
… Every day, I find out some new idiocy about this man
Republicans love this shit. I hope Democrats get out to vote!
The qon party is just chock full of creepy, creepy weirdos. Not one of them should ever be permitted into office.
What a bunch of freaks.
The party that loves to complain about virtue signaling uses their own children to do just that.
