This is what a “Death Panel” looks like. Odd, because the GOP spent the last decade saying single payer health care and abortion rights would lead to death panels. Turns out they just wanted to be the ones running the death panels. Flee the south! Flee red states! I know their are naysayers that want people to stay so they turn the areas blue. But my argument is those areas had their chances to get basic human compassion rights correct and they fail every time. They will never ever agree with the will of the people and will go back on any bill passed that protects marginalized communities. The only way they will “see the light” is if they look around their states and see no women; see no educated individuals; see no hard working youths; and see no business. Then maybe they will. It’s not your responsibility to put your own life and your families lives at risk in hopes that things will get better. They won’t! I live in Colorado, our state isn’t perfect but for fuck sakes we’re trying to make life better. I used to complain about all the out of state people moving here, but I realized the majority are political refugees fleeing areas in their own fucking country. We’d love to have you because we want to lead by example. Colorado used to be known as the “Hate State” and now is one of the most liberal and free states.
I am not defending the MRM, but the quoted language is of a divisive character that propels reactionary fervor.
The valid antagonist is the political movement framed around a narrative that society favors women, not a simple recognition that men may have legitimate grievances deserving to be noticed.
You… can literally do anything else with it. Its use for porn doesn’t devalue Ai art. The focus on porn as an outrage for the sake of existing devalues Ai art. The female form is no more damning than the article makes it out to be. This screams more of the writer’s own personal insecurity and self doubt than it does outrage over a tool being used for cleavage.
I’m not mad that male or homoerotic Ai art exists. It just… does. It’s not for you.
What's the source of this? I've done some searching and what I've found isn't as drastic as this chart (this for example suggests a 25% drop now relative to the great depression - https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/567107-the-end-of-marriage-in-america/ ) - I figure this could still be true, but, I want to know where it comes from
I think after looking at this - https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/marriage_rate_2018/marriage_rate_2018.htm - I understand the reason for the variation. I think it's likely a rise in marriages other than the first one, that make the number of absolute marriages per year look closer percentage wise than the graph shows.
Anecdotal but me and my partner have been together 10 years and still don't see any benefit to getting married, despite strong family pressure to do so.
Mainly because it's too dang expensive. Like we just have $10k lying around were dying to blow, we barely have enough money to cover basic expenses.
There are very strong legal, financial, and practical reasons to get married. Married couples have different rights than unmarried, tax burden is less, and insurance rates can also be less. Also you don’t need a ceremony to get married, you can just go to the courthouse and pay like $100 or something. And if you do “need” a ceremony you can do a potluck in someone’s backyard. You do what you want, but if you are already planning to spend your lives together getting a marriage certificate shouldn’t be a big obstacle.
Power of attorney grants a significant amount more control over you than marriage does. There is a reason married people will sometimes also specify their spouse as POA.
You also lose out on things like social security, shared health insurance, property rights, etc. You're gonna have a hot mess on your hands if you buy a house together while not being married and then break up.
Sure, you can pay a lawyer a bunch of money to create a bunch of contracts around your relationship. You can also pay a lawyer a bunch of money to undo all of those legal contracts you signed when you break up. For example, the average cost of power of attorney alone is $300. Or you could pay <$100 for a marriage license and have everything packaged together that already has a tride and true method of untangling yourself if you choose to separate, divorce.
Believe me I have considered that too and it's just a shittier version of marriage that costs more money.
Not trying to convince anyone they need to get married, but do your research into what your options actually accomplish and if it meets your requirements.
You could also say that women who are not married by 30 have other priorities and marriage isn’t one of them. There seems to be a saturation point for each generation after which the uptick slows to a trickle. You could make the argument that fewer women in each successive generation are making marriage a “must” in life.
I would bet you this data would be inverted for women with a college degree by given age, i.e. younger generations are achieving higher levels of education by 30, but it likely levels off gradually as well since not everyone attends college.
Yeah that’s such a reach based on this data. You could easily argue that women over 30 aren’t interested in marriage, or non-marriage partnerships are becoming more common, or the plateau after 30 won’t continue, or any number of things. Simply isn’t enough data to say.
