Out of enlightened self-interested, I wonder if the rate of wives who kill their husbands went down after No Fault Divorce became a thing too.
I would much rather, you know, my wife leave me by means more conventional than my neck being opened up against its will in the dead of the night.
so were mysterious deaths of husbands at a younger age… 👿
When I married a Filipina woman, it did not escape me that the majority of the men in her family died mysteriously at like 55 and their wives lived until their 80s 😅😅😅
Just saying, if we go back, keep yourselves alive beautiful ladies…there are other options 😉
It’s entirely possible that ending no fault divorce reduces the divorce rate.
My prediction is that that will be due to:
- Abusive marriages not ending, increasing abuse rates
- More technically married people living separately
- Fewer marriages, more people living together

The only "happy" trad-wives are probably the ones who are on the internet making money with their videos about how happy they are and trying to indoctrinate others into the life.
The ones without internet clout, I doubt, are very happy at all... especially if they end up joining MLMs that crash & burn every few years.
The only reason I'd even consider watching a trad-wife's latest online vlog entries is to see if I can find the tell-tale eye-twitch hiding above the plastic smile as she gushes about some DIY stuff she did to save money with her kids.
Makes me wonder why so many other folks don't see it. I mean, it doesn't take much to go "hey, wait a minute here..." and point out the plot holes in the story they're weaving.

it was messy and men had all the power.
My mom attempted suicide twice to rid herself of my unfaithful father. This was in the late 60s.
Then he divorced her and she didn’t get a cent of alimony after being his wife for 15 years and giving him three children. He left her destitute. He married a coworker who had been his sex partner and later a different coworker when the first wouldn’t put up with him.

My dad was *very* religious (not faithful, but as a social vehicle for his narcissism) and very quickwitted - yet never did anything special with his abilities outside of philandering.
He wound up fairly wealthy from them. He never suffered any consequences for his actions except his son’s (me) regard. My mom went through five other marriages and worked low level office jobs. She was in her 60s when she decided men weren’t worth it.
I dont really understand trad wife mindset. Is this pushed by men encouraging it?

My mom worked full-time, went to college part-time (sometimes the opposite, full-time school, part-time work), and still made what would now be called a "whole food" dinner for us most nights.
Even while she was still married to my dad she did this (bc his cooking repertoire at the time was basically hot dog soup), but obviously also afterward, when she was raising us by herself. I don't know how she did it. She just did.
I'm not glorifying it to agree with these bozos. It was not easy at ALL. I'm just impressed that she covered all of the bases in that way, and that we remained housed and fed and clothed and going to school and mostly trouble-free. I think my mom is a superhero.

To be honest, I've been using an app to track my periods and contraception for years now. It helps me to know my cycle and when something is wrong.
However, with the election of Trump, I'm worried that some of this data will become public - and that they'll use it against women. I don't live in the US, but I just want to warn women there just in case.

And according to several comparisons of applications, it seems to me that it's still the safest application in terms of data.

I vehemently disagree. This was entirely the fault of the disgusting pig #DonTheCon. He did not include the Afghan government in the deal. He released 5000 Taliban fighters. He sabotaged the presidential transition so the Biden Administration had no information. Then the Afghan government simply bailed at the beginning of the transition. But the Taliban have made Afghanistan into a horrific place for women and that is 100% on them. NOT THE USA or BIDEN.
Oh and he also removed almost all of the US troops who would have made the transition orderly.

She had had enough. I mourn that a woman so very young would have been so harassed and humiliated by government men that she felt she had no other choice left. Did she know she would likely be abducted by police, beaten, tortured, and murdered for her defiance? Yes. They all knew. They all knew the car was coming, her life was about to brutally end. Her steadfast composure got to me. She wasn't in panic. She knew what was coming, but she had had enough. She wasn't allowed to live on her own terms, she was willing to die.
Women don't need men to protect them "whether women like it or not." I am certain the men in the car were "protecting" her, whether she wanted or not, as they beat her and killed her.
Sadness. Heartbreaking sadness.
I fear for her, of course. And I too think she stopped caring, sometimes things are too big and terrible to keep an open, emotional state of being. You just shut down and do what you think is right, not even bothering about consequences anymore. At least, that's how I experienced it but of course, I may be projecting. In any case: may she be well. Please.
This girl is a hero.
ALL religion is assertion of patriarchy. Fuck ALL religions similarly. No exception.
My heart is heavy as I think of what this brave young woman is experiencing now. It is such a tragedy for all of us.
When Religion and the State become one and the same, both are perverted.
if US are such champions of womens rights, protesting etc
1) where were the marches of millions and millions of people to the grounds of scotus and capital demanding reverse of row vs wade overturn?
2) what will happen to people of color dressed like this protesting Palestinian genocide on grounds of Zionist organisations?
Living in a fantasy thinking everything is just great, definitely not living in glass house without foundations, is exactly how US got to its current predicament.
When she walked off beneath the window and she was talking to herself you could see that she was so. fucking. totally. fed up with that shit, you could see it in her face. She was so done, couldn't take it anymore. And how can they?
And don't judge the giggling students. Giggling shows the enormous tension to see that. And you can hear they are nearly cheering at her. But they can't. Because then they're next.

Donald Trump has a weird meltdown over microphone issues during his rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Friday.Ryan Bort (Rolling Stone)
We actually know why the convicted felon was not kept out of the White House after the Access Hollywood tapes dropped though.
1) WikiLeaks released the Podesta emails one hour after they dropped because they work for the Kremlin.
2) James Comey violated DOJ policy for his Kremlin bosses to announce another email investigation into Hilary Clinton.
3) Trump has been convicted of election interference because he paid to silence Stormy after they became public.
Ultimately, the mass media, the Republican party, and half the voting population allowed him to run for office despite his multiple flaws.

I see a lot of left-leaning techies, like me, expressing enthusiasm for Luddism. Not because we hate technology, per se, but because we see how it's being used to enslave humanity and destroy the ecosystem.
The fact that "Luddite" has long been a common term of abuse in the tech industry adds to its power, ironically, as we want to directly challenge the ideology that progress is inevitable and unidirectional.
We should be able to decide our futures.
Infatti: "essere luddista" dovrebbe essere considerato una virtù, non un difetto.
Io, fatto canto mio, sono orgoglioso di sentirmi un luddista e un inattuale.

Weavers were also women working in their own homes, financially independent.
Hence the word "spinster" - women who couldn't marry because they earned too much money for the family business, or women who didn't have to marry for reasons of economic duress
The textile industry dispossessed small holders of their homes to work in crowded, disease ridden factory towns at a fraction of their former income.
It was an attack on the independent income opportunities available to women.
Yep yep
they weren’t even anti-technology, or against efficiency – they used lots of sophisticated technology themselves running the businesses in their homes
What they objected to was the structure of emerging industrial capitalism – where a centralized owner scooped up most of the profits of efficiency, leaving crumbs to the workers

wasn’t it more that they weren’t happy that it led to job losses?

There was not one but two pro-Hitler Jewish groups, the Association of German National Jews and the German Vanguard.
They were right-wingers who thought the antisemitism was just talk intended to rile up the masses against communism.
Most of their members later perished in concentration camps.
I’ll add that there’s no link to any poll in the post and the author appears to be talking about Hasidic Jews.

At various points in Chinese history, rulers came in who wanted all knowledge of previous rulers expunged. They went often to very ... extreme, let's call it ... measures to accomplish this erasure.
What saved the knowledge from extinction?
Essentially piracy. Copies of forbidden texts made and circulated in the underground, stored for when, inevitably, said ruler dies and the texts could be resurfaced.
Let me get my pirate's hat. I've got work to do.

@juergen_hubert I don't limit myself to public domain.
Stuff under copyright is at a great risk of vanishing when the "owner" lets it die off and/or vanish from neglect or pique or whatever.
@zdl @juergen_hubert This. With overreaching Copyright laws and DRM everywhere (even fucking books!) it's more important than ever to free those pieces of culture and store them safely.
It's not a far fetch to assume the internet archive will lose its DMCA excemption once the next "check" is due. Download and save everything, preferably via their torrents.

Interesting timing. I was thinking a few days ago that if the orange shitgibbon gets in, books, films, tv, audio, artefacts etc are just going to vansish from archive after archive all over America. Commonplace entertainments deemed unfitting for a fascist nation. All gone.
If I was these archives I'd back up physical copies OUTSIDE US territory in other countries.

> Highly recommend ProPublica give them a follow and a donation. They are the ones that revealed all of Clarence Thomas' corruption
FWIW they're also leaning into the fediverse;
dot-social.simplecast.com/epis…
Anyone know if @npr has a fediverse server for their shows/ journalists yet?
(1/2)
BTW how useful it would be if ...
* every journalist had a professional fediverse account, eg @journalist@MyServer.foo
* their current employer could redirect @journalist@MediaCompany.foo to point at @journalist@MyServer.foo
* people who want to follow the sports reporter at MediaCompany could always find the current one at @sports@MediaCompany.foo
* people who like a specific sports reporter could follow them at @journalist@MyServer.foo, regardless of their current employer
(2/2)
* when a sports reporter leaves MediaCompany, for whatever reason, follows added during their tenure at MediaCompany continue to follow both @sports@MediaCompany.foo, *and* @journalist@MyServer.foo
* journalists can identify themselves with a MediaCompany, while still moving between employers without losing their audience
* audience members can decide whether they trust particular journalists, or the editors of this or that MediaCompany, and choose who to continue following on that basis
@billbennett
> I'd go for it, but publishers would hate it. While they go to lengths to promote the fact that journalist x or y works for them... they don't want to create the impression that the journalist is a brand in his or her own right

Now I have to revise my whole understanding of dead-rich-white-guy English history. 🙁

Also Olde England: has served curries in school dining halls and poured tamarind sauces (like HP and Worcestershire) over their roast beef for at least a couple of centuries.

in reply to Ricki Gray Area Witch Tarr • • •Wa wa wait! Backup a bit. What’s the definition of woke here?
I know originally it was intended to describe someone who was aware of the dangers police posed to black men.
Using the word in any other way is at best confusing, and at worst…? A deliberate attempt to trivialize social sensitivities. It’s not a term that should be used indiscriminately.

I'm very surprised they didn't run with something along the lines of "Illegal Immigrants are stealing British sandwiches", "Avocardo Toast causes cancer" or "Woke sandwiches are turning our children Trans"
I didn't read the article so it's very possible at least one of the those was mentioned

But all of their expensive private education and UK columnists can't do anything other than parrot a misappropriated US word like they're toddlers that just learned to say "bum".

The fillings they decry as woke are what you'll have found forever in the prepared food section of any Marks & Spencer in any high street in Britain. Not to mention ubiquitous Prêt à Manger sandwich shops, which have been around for decades. Etc.

(For what it's worth, my personal preference is cashew butter sprinkled with linseeds to give it a bit of crunch. I have no idea if that's woke, but I do so hope the Fail thinks it is!)
