It's not ridiculous. It may not work IN THIS COUNTRY but CLEARLY is working elsewhere.

Wow.

All of your dismissive attitudes speaks volumes.

My 30 year old daughter is considering harvesting eggs and freezing them and then getting her tubes tied because the thought of an unwanted pregnancy right now is too scary.

My son and his fiance are assessing whether they are willing to risk a pregnancy in this unstable environment, even once they get married. They cannot imagine bringing a child into this world when there's a world wide crisis happening and so much hate. The future is terrifying right now with Ukraine/Russia and the Israel/Palestine/Iran conflicts going on. I have never felt so unsafe in this world and I know I'm lucky to only have like 20 more years to deal with it all. They have most of their lives left to deal with the repercussions.

We are researching other countries where it is relatively easy to get residency visas. Right now, Spain, Portugal and New Zealand are at the top of our lists.
Agreed.
And try Portugal. I have a friend there now and is loving it.

What are you talking about? It is ridiculous. Blaming all men because they have issues with one dude or men they’ve had bad experiences with? I don’t care if you call it working or not, wrong is wrong.

Internationally meaning the four nations that emerge — Israel, Russia, Babylon (in modern day Iraq) and the United States, although the U.S. isn’t directly mentioned. Europe also, although it’s a continent. It speaks of there being one supreme leader in Europe before the antichrist, according to scripture.

Cultural meaning morals, etc.

WIFLSRN: This week for me has been the week from hell. I’ve been in a mood and not the nicest person to be around. In the same week, my worst nightmare came true on November 5th, and a few days after that, I had to have my dog put to sleep. She was very sick. I miss her SO much!

Wow! I’ve never heard of this movement until now. Am I reading this article correctly though, because frankly, they seem a bit irresponsible, to me.

The difference between responsible and irresponsible people is how they see things. Responsible people see what they can do or could have done to make a situation better. They look for solutions. Irresponsible people automatically see what others can do or could have done to make the situation better. While responsible people look for solutions, irresponsible people look for a place to lay blame. Solving the problem is less important to them than establishing that they’re not at fault. Responsible people feel the pressure to fix things. Irresponsible people seek to relieve that pressure through excuses and fault finding. This is why irresponsible people never change, because it’s never their fault. They’re not the ones who need to change. Right?

That said, there are no differences in their thinking than Donald Trump is in his. Isn’t that the same sexist idiot whose behavior they’re blaming on all men? To me, their blame game behavior is no different than his. Nothing is ever his fault either. Oh well, to each their own.

Placing everybody in one bucket because you had or currently are having a bad experience with one person isn’t a good thing for the person who’s pissed off. Men don’t care. Most men are turned off by a feminist anyway. The men who want to date, marry, and have sex will just holler at women who want to date, marry, and have sex.

Preach! I’ll admit, I’m sometimes guilty of this too Lol. But I’m not the one to blame all women because I’ve had a bad relationship. I think it’s more to it than just Trump, at least for some of them it is.

I don’t know about dismissive, but some of your posts are a bit bizarre and weird. 🫤

I agree with you. I mean, I know a lot of couples are afraid to get pregnant now, but some of those women involved in that movement are just angry with men for whatever reason. Only they would know why.

Oh gosh, I'm sorry to hear that your daughter is feeling so frightened. Ectopic pregnancies are only 1-2% of all pregnancies. It's hard to keep up sometimes - where in the U.S. is treatment for an ectopic pregnancy illegal? I've not heard of that?
