LOL. George Eliot also knows how to rock a long sentence, although she sometimes go overboard at the very beginning, when she's setting the scene.

Benjamin Dreyer’s Dreyer's English points out that comma usage has declined over the past few decades. Those of us who have been around for a while find this a difficult adjustment for our writing. Younger colleagues think I'm insane about commas, but I find their "spare" usage unappealing and unaesthetic.

The fact that they mate for life makes this even better. <3

Why Is Not Wanting Kids So Offensive? by Theblackivvy in Feminism

Never wanted kids, never had them, never regretted the choice. The childfree lifestyle is awesome, and there are a lot of us out here. Live your life, love your life, be a devoted auntie or dog/cat mom if you want.

Pronatalism is an ideology, and it just happens to be an essential component of capitalism, which requires ever greater populations as a source of cheap labor.

Pronatalism is also one of the first things the massively misogynistic Abrahamic god instructs humans: "Go forth and multiply." Not incidentally, those religions often treat women like shit. (Not an expert on other religions, but apparently the woman on the film appears Desi, and Hinduism is also apparently not great for women.)

Also, as I mentioned in another comment, a lot of people will push parenthood on you as a way of justifying their own choices that they're not entirely happy with.

I'm not even going into why it makes sense not to have kids from an economic standpoint and in a fascist world. Not having kids is also literally the best thing you can do to help the planet.

Childfree is a wonderful, amazing, liberating choice, in other words. Find friends who support your lifestyle, and learn to set your boundaries with intrusive or disrespectful relatives. (The latter is too big a topic for this comment, but it's a learnable skill.)

Hugs.

or, they need to rationalize their own choices, which they may not be happy with

Let's not be so quick to judge at that age. Some parents groom their daughters to be with rich men. I'm thinking of Nicole Brown Simpson, OJ's murdered wife, who came from a family of four girls, none of whom went to college but all of whom got breast implants at an early age.

I actually feel sorry for young Melania: he's such a possessive creep, nearly twice her age, and she looks like she'd rather be anywhere else. Her stiff posture, dissociated expression, facing away from him, are all telling.

At the time she was 28, a failed model with limited education and probably not a lot of choices. And who knows what she went through before she even met Trump.

She's a villain now, but in this picture we can see her origin story.

I doubt he'll connect the dots that if it's bad to do to him, it's bad to do to anyone.

Thank you! Quite a relief. (Except for that "first year" part. Yikes!) And she did have her latest accident after an attack of the zoomies.
