I’m curious to hear how you’ve managed to extract my alleged beliefs that American women are ignorant of their situation from my rhetoric. I can only assume you either severely misinterpreted what I wrote to fit your conclusion, or you’re intentionally being provocative to elicit a reaction. Either way, your statistic shows that while younger women are having less children, the women that do pursue parenthood are simply delaying it into their 30s (possibly a function of more demanding careers and increasing inequality)
I’m sure there are more substantial and academic examples that speak to whatever the heck you are trying to say, but the fact remains that the US IS fostering anti-intellectualism as a vector to sow distrust, normalize authoritarian governance, and further undermine American democratic institutions. Deluding yourself into thinking that it’s not happening or it’s not as bad as it seems is dangerous to women, to immigrants, to trans people, and to the pursuit of scientific knowledge.

Different doesn’t necessarily equate to worse. The IR does oppress women, without a doubt; but American society exploits young women’s sexuality for financial gain, psychologically manipulates them into prohibitive gender norms that are impossible to achieve without vast amounts of wealth and privilege, and then tells them the most important thing they can aspire to be is mother to a man’s offspring.
In short, you, your society, and your government are not as different-and clearly not any better-from any other in the world.

I couldnt give a single flying fuck if “most of you” are such good people that you’d willingly live in a militant feminist matriarchy; the fact is our enemy is not Iran or it’s people and you’re here patting yourself on the ass for having the literal minimum level of decency expected of a father

Yeah good thing the US respects women’s autonomy and isn’t being strangled by a fundamentalist religious movement that wants to force women to be nothing more than incubators, maids, and fuck toys…😒

I have very little faith that this ship will be turned around. It’s not even the explicit invasions of privacy from facial recognition that are the most damning. Its the hordes of people willingly providing their data through social media. Our culture has embraced the erosion of privacy and autonomy with such enthusiasm it almost feels engineered. In fact, it very well might be. When we let money dictate the stories we tell and who tells them, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that culture becomes yet another tool to entrench the inequality we live in.

Agreed. These jobs are overwhelmingly concentratedin developing nations and pay pathetic wages, too.

So close to being gay (and happy) yet too scared to admit to themselves.
