This might be another Anna-Nicole Smith case, in the end.

To Rightists with daughters reading this: are you concerned that they might encounter "natural family planning" on the internet and really f*** up their life?
No. Keeping their legs closed before marriage is entirely possible.

He openly admits he's a eugenicist, prioritizes abortion access, and c'mon, do you really believe the population of South Carolinans he doesn't want reproducing isn't extremely black-heavy?

Is Texas just requiring the same sort of "age verification" that's existed since the 90s (the website says are you 18 and you click yes)?
Texas is requiring that pornhub make potential viewers upload a photo of their driver's license. Presumably if a parent uploads a photo of their driver's license to let their kid watch porn and Texas attempts to enforce the law against pornhub then that would be a different lawsuit but let's be real, the tiny number of people who actually do this won't get caught.

I understand that 'more abortions for black women(and this is South Carolina)' is your #1 priority. But no one said you can't complain about South Carolina not funding planned parenthood.

Last I checked a majority of what PP does is not-social-conservative-approved-but-uncontroversially-healthcare stuff like STD treatments. That being said, this is still the equivalent of the state of New York not sending federal gun safety program money to the NRA, despite being the nationwide leader in elementary school gun safety training and range safety training. They kinda made their bed and now must lie in it.

Given your description, I'm guessing this is a semi-rural to rural area. Double check your utilities connections- if this is in Texas, there may be a difference between oncor(electrical grid monopoly) or a utility coop, depending on where you are. For a house that size I'm guessing 100 amp service and two air conditioners? Also, if water comes from a well- do you have a filter already budgeted for? And what's your plan for backup power in the event that a storm knocks out power to the pump(and btw- pumps are already expensive and you more or less get what you pay for. Get a long lasting, quality one.). You're close enough to the gulf that hurricanes are a realistic concern; do you have a plan for them?
Will you be having a conventional built house or a prefab(much cheaper)? Do you plan on a pier and beam(better foundation but you need pest mitigation strategies) or slab?
I highly recommend, given the climate- screen in one or both of the porches. This is near tropical America and you're going to want something to keep bugs out.

eah, you could just stick the kids in the library and leave them to their own devices and they'll come out okay.
Uh, no you couldn't. The kids would spend all their time in one, maybe two, sections and not get a balanced education. That's at best; worst case is they never progress because they get distracted by, say, Terry Pratchett books.

How much of the Asian academic system is spent on teaching/necessary repetition of core subjects, as opposed to ridiculous grinding scoremaxx training on standardized tests? Asian countries are rather famous for this.

Not being on drugs that make her a bitch is 'fucking your life up'? Uh, you do know how babies are made, right? A mommy and a daddy have to love each other very much first, there's no stork that shows up when you stop taking birth control.

Didn't we have a previous article from this lady? A couple of points-
-
Serious mohammedanism seems worse for women than serious Christianity at any equivalent point along the fundy vs liberalism spectrum. Of course I would say that, but I suggest this woman talk to some ladies living in conservative Christianity.
-
It comes as no surprise to me that women are not by and large fans of low commitment sexual activities, nor that many women value the attention they get more than anything.
-
This is not a new problem. The age old refrain of the cad is 'I swear I'll marry you, I just can't wait'. This is just the modern iteration. Of course, when you reject men having the authority to protect women from this, you also reject them having the responsibility to do so.
-
There is, in fact, a middle ground between 'women are virgins until their wedding night' and 'sex then have a date if the man liked it'. I reject it entirely but it clearly exists. I don't consider any point on this continuum a stable equilibrium but lots of people wind up there.
As to what this woman's solution is, might I suggest that an onlyfans star writing about this on her substack might have motives other than sincerely seeking a solution to a problem?

For comparison, the average Catholic(best ranked school system in the US) high school tuition nationwide is around $10k, public high schools in the US average around $19k in per student spending, no correlation between spending and outcomes.
For common denominator education, I'd guess $10k a kid is pretty close to the minimum.

So twin studies are disproven because scientists have only found 2% of the genes? Don’t you think there might be a bunch of genes they just haven’t found yet?

You're much better taking a conventional Spanish class with grammar and homework and taking field trips to the taqueria.

Yes, you could, but you also won't learn much from reading them, which is the entire point of school.

Homeschool coops with no facility costs are much cheaper than that.

I don’t see why ‘not automatically citizens’ is so awful a condition. US citizenship is not closed and getting naturalized is common enough we can assume the good ones will get there eventually.

Homeschooling moms are already housewives, though. Probably some would be in the corporate world if they sent the kids to public school instead but most of them are otherwise homemakers.

I'm not sure that you're hearing what I'm saying. In 1890 it would have been normal to say 'so, you've been seeing my daughter for three months already, do you need her ring size?' The shortness of the courtship and the reminders from dad as to the reason for dating in the first place was a big part of how the whole shotgun wedding mentality worked.

This was the original meaning of citizenship, incidentally- it would be recognizable to an Athenian that one of the perks of citizenship status is the right to make citizen babies.

I have a genuine question- most of continental Europe uses a three tier education system with kids destined for college, trade school, and unskilled labour literally in different schools. Do European countries administer the PISA test to all levels of school or only the gymnasia? If the latter, it would have much the same effect as only testing middle class white kids in the US.

Thank you for writing this up with more comprehension and detail than I could have done. I’ve had roughly the same impression- Trump has people to put democrats in jail this time, the party is increasingly in disarray, 2026 is going to be a disaster for the DNC in the senate for structural reasons, etc.
But Trump has also gotten good at performing the part of a strong rightful king, and by nature people love rightful royal power. He has the head of the longshoreman’s union and the head of NATO writing effusive love letters that wouldn’t be out of place addressed to a Chinese emperor. Obviously, writing this way to Trump is a great way to get what you want(or at least make it more likely), but it also sets a precedent that this is how the president, leader of the free world, POTUS, is to be addressed, and that in turn makes it more normal, which in turn raises the impression that president Trump has the Mandate of Heaven. People understand that on a primitive clan based society level.
I wrote earlier about how Trump was campaigning not as a better leader, but as the rightful leader. Democrats don’t have any counter to that. That’s why Trump’s popularity keeps rising.

I mean, I think it's worth noting that part and parcel of the traditional system is Unsubtle Hints to Put a Ring on it Already from the woman's male relatives before this comes up. Of course people in the past didn't date for years and live together without having sex- because they dated for a couple of months and then got married. Some of them had sex first, of course, but it's a lot easier to wait two months than two years. Shotgun weddings preserved the woman's honor because courtships were just short enough that it came out in the wash anyways.
Especially when these people use gender neutral pronouns when the gender is already specified.
