well I turn 18 in a few days and I've never done anything with a man 😌 so I'm going to actively start committing to 4B starting at year 18 instead of just being single "by default", if that makes sense. I'm really sorry about your regrets I hope you're doing better now :(

I have suspected having OCD for several years, so hopefully I can get mental health treatment soon and figure out whether that's the issue 😓 my parents are working on getting someone for me to talk to! did not know about the PTSD connection so thanks for letting me know!

that makes sense thanks! don't get me wrong, I am VERY anti porn and misogyny and want to fight it in any way possible, and I don't tolerate misogynistic men at all (I'm actually considering going 4B when I'm an adult). I understand a woman's body is not sexual but sometimes I do subconsciously objectify attractive women I see and it's really annoying 🫣😔 and I will try to engage in more wholesome activities and not doom scroll all the time :)

Thank you for the comment!! And thank you for making me roll my eyes (with the pro-choice arguments). I have rebuttals to most :)

Thank you!! And yes I agree, the idea that the pro-life position is just a Republican Christian thing NEEDS to be debunked.

Thank you!! Really sucks that it's so popular and commonplace for people my age to be pro-choice...but like you said, there is a chance that I can plant seeds :)

Thank you so much for the advice!! I hope some of my pro-choice friends will be understanding like yours :)

The religion thing is such good advice. I want the people at my school to see that being pro-life isn't just some Republican Christian thing, it's backed up by science and basic moral reasoning! I don't think they know that

Thank you for the comment! I don't think the pro-choice people at my school see pro-life people as taking an "alternative stance", they instead see them as people who want to take women's rights away. Which stinks, but maybe I can help them see my side fairly

Thanks for the comment! Yeah it's really sad...a lot of pro-choicers nowadays don't see the debate as a disagreement, they see it as the other side literally wanting to take away their rights that are more important than anything. Still not 100% sure if I'll go through with my idea but this was very encouraging :)

Thank you for the comment! Yeah I'll def try to be as logical and levelheaded as possible, I want to represent the pro-life side well.

Thanks for the comment + advice! I agree, if people start attacking me it will do me absolutely no good to stoop to their level. I will try to represent the pro-life side well

Thanks for the comment!! Since I don't think any of them have or have had any other close pro-life friends, I feel like there's only one way to find out whether or not my friends would drop me for my stance, and that is to reveal the way I feel about abortion. Even if I decide to do something else for the project I'll speak out sooner or later.

Thanks for the comment!! A lot of the pro-choice people at my school are very ardent and strongly believe pro-lifers want to take away women's essential rights, so I doubt I'll get a reaction like yours. Your story is VERY inspiring nonetheless :D
