Once upon a time I was a Republican and then I went to college and turned into the leftist liberal progressive Democrat that hides under your bed and no I am not a man and yes I’m addicted to downvotes, every time I get one it’s like a bump of that sweet smoking gun. Also I do 99% of this on mobile in my bathtub, so if I don’t respond to you it’s because my screen was too tiny to read everything before I got out of the bath.

What would I do to make myself have more children? Hmm. At the age of 24, the barriers preventing me from having children with my boyfriend are;
-
I do not have enough money to afford diapers, much less food for another person, so I would increase the minimum wage to the proper rate it should be, which is $20 an hour. I would, in the same vein, eliminate tipping as a substitute for wages as well to eliminate the hostile tipping environment and poor wages encouraged by my state’s poor labor laws. That would include eliminating all Republicans from my state’s government, as they have opposed all measures to do what is listed above.
-
I am not confident that, should I approach trying to build a career in my state with a child, that I have protections from corrupt, lazy and immoral business owners who would abuse their position of authority over me to compromise my work/life balance. So, I would replace my state’s labor laws with laws similar if not exactly to California, so that I could, for example, have a lunch break and maternal leave for my post-pregnancy complications.
-
I cannot afford medical care for myself, much less my children. I suppose with higher wages that would be solved on it’s own, but if not, I would change whatever policies need to be changed to decrease the cost of medical care. I am not too verbose on medical care policies to know what the causes for high costs are and how to solve them.
-
My social network is dangerous for children, as it consists of social conservatives who will try to shame my children into gender roles and disrespect my choices as a parent, and I would not want to reach out for help from them in an emergency. If I had higher wages, I would not need to work so much and I could spend time developing friendships to replace my network. If not that, reducing the cost of interstate travel so I could move to a state with a locale more suitable to my personality would solve that problem. I am not too sure what policies need to be enacted to solve high-cost interstate travel, as I am not verbose in those policies as well.
-
Emotionally, me and my boyfriend are recovering from the effects of growing up in an abusive, socially conservative household, and need therapeutic services to confirm we won’t pass our issues to our children. I supposed lowering the cost of therapists falls in the same category as “decrease medical costs”.
I wish that you would recognize the reason “leftists” come in hot “arriving” here is because, I believe, you allow a hilarious amount of boo-outgrouping from “the other side” on here without the same vigor. One of the “quality contributions” literally goes on about how leftists don’t care about raped children, and somewhere down that line someone declares proudly that prep is a drug for gay people to attend orgies. Exactly where is the charity and good faith in declaring such things? Would I really be received with such neutral attention if I said such things about other outgroups? I think the answer is no. Therefore, I hazard most leftists look at your “be charitable” rule and laugh at it because they think you seem to define “chartiable” as “don’t say bad things about conservatives at all but feel free to dunk leftists” and therefore disregard the etiquette since to them you are disregarding it as well.

I'm fairly certain the answer is quite boring; he's got daddy issues. His biography literally starts with recounting how he used to get the shit beaten out of him in school back in South Africa, it was a socially-approved thing and his dad was supportive of the beatings. It was never resolved; his dad never apologized, and Elon never accepted the emotional damage.

I struggle to understand the logic that Trump repeating Russian propaganda shouldn’t be taken seriously while Biden saying pretty much anything is a dog whistle for pedophilia. But struggle alas I shall.

Am I more likely to make sexual misconduct accusations at any given level of sexual pestiness? That’s news to me. What evidence do you have that maintains that belief? And what is a “non-feminist” woman, according to you?

No, I don’t think liberalism is dying. I think the reverse is true; the population of conservatives is ever-shrinking like that meme of two ants in the middle of water.
I can’t pull up my non-anecdotal evidence at the moment, but I can use my own anecdote in my family. My entire family, from my parents to the great grandparents, is blood-red socially-conservative MAGA Republican, and I am the only progressive blue blood Democrat (the story of how that happened is tragically boring). My entire family is also stupid. I can not think of a single person that has demonstrated emotional intelligence more developed than a fifth-grader (and therefore virtually every member is suffering from depression) and I can think of the numerous amount of objectively stupid decisions (money purchases, medical needs, personal safety) that make me marvel at how having a lot of money can insulate a man from his own misery.
Anyway, my Republican family members around my age have 1-2 children, but they’re close to poverty due to having a one-income household since the mothers have no careers and are supported by their wealthy parents. Additionally, it is seriously possible their children will have early deaths due to medical negligence (it already happened to one, actually, so it’s natural to assume it will happen again). While I might not have as many children now, I believe the odds of them being intelligent enough to participate in the local, national and global scale are far higher than my familial counterparts if nothing more than I am less likely to leave my children unattended in dangerous situations because I will be smart enough to recognize them. A smart alive Democrat is worth a dozen stupid dead Republicans as I say with cheek.
My family is convicted that I did not come to my beliefs on my own and so are desperate to find the culprit and stop them so that I’ll metaphorically “come back home”. The Republican party gives them an answer; the gays, the trans, the liberals, the colleges, the porn, the atheists and the scientists all duped me into it, and when Trump comes and undoes it all everything will go back to normal and I’ll want to spend holidays with them. I believe it will be a genuine tragedy when Trump’s presidency is over and my family is faced with the terror that is my absence.
Therefore I believe, with my anecdotal evidence, that the same situation is being replayed all across the country in families just like mine. I believe the illusion of dying liberalism is actually the slow death rattle of conservatism. The wheel of progress is slow but ever-grinding, as they-who-is-I say.

I don't think I can successfully steelman an argument if I don't know the OP's argument, but I will try. It'll just be a lot of assumptions, which I'm not a fan of.
The position is that there are two binary expressions of gender, which masculine and feminine, and therefore there are two categories of language corresponding. Additionally, the correct expression of this binary is the Western definition of masculinity and femininity.
This is natural; two completely different species attempting to communicate with eachother naturally will have separate languages, complete with their own vocabulary, grammar, connotations and implications. Since virtually all first world countries are Western, it shows that the Western definition of masculinity and femininity is the most successful, and therefore accurate, definition.
If we follow the examples of the Western definition of masculinity and femininity, then, we can assume what OP means by feminine language is language that is "collective, random, accommodating, passive, vulnerable, emotional, fragile, small, dependent, intuitive, submissive" and "tactful", among others.
Now, seeing as I have seen a fair share of men identifying with the Western definition of masculine and use language that is random, passive, emotional, fragile and tactful, then that language can't be exclusively feminine then. And if there is no exclusivity to the language and both elements can be included with one another, then the definitions of "feminine language" have become so vague as to render the whole notion non-existent.

I don’t think there is an interpretation that isn’t the “maximumally cynical one”. He said multiple times he was not involved with Project 2025, and then signed bills directly from the authors of it. I struggle to imaginr a reasonable interpretation isn’t that he’s a populist who will say anything in the moment to make you like him. I believe when you stop looking at the motivation involving actually being beneficial to America and instead being beneficial to billionaires and foreign agents (China, Russia) the answer to "why do these policy decisions" becomes pretty obvious.

I appreciate your sympathy, but I will not appreciate the sentiment that it “is what it is” and one of my options is a moral stain on society and I should go to jail or something. The sentiment of this “sanctity” between a birth mother and child is completely lost on me. My mother gave birth to me, I suckled on her breasts and came out of her womb blah, blah, blah, and there was not a single maternal aspect about her and no amount of biological relation did anything to help that or my proceeding siblings; if anything, I had a better shot of being raised not like a dog with literally anyone else. And observing this pattern repeatedly among my friends and even my boyfriend makes the notion of biological motherhood being superior above all else a joke to me. I’ve seen enough mothers give birth to children they have as much maternal attachment to as a toddler does to their toy to be rid of the notion there’s something special made between a biological mother and her children that can’t be replicated in any other parenting situation.

I can’t wait for my student loans to be sold off to private companies who will try to eat me alive because, in my opinion, some people got bamboozled into thinking the Department of Education affects curricula when under the 10th Amendment the federal government and Department of Education are not involved in determining curricula or educational standards or establishing schools or colleges.

Thank you. As an aside, I can't help but think that Henry VIII initiating the English Reformation that separated the Church of England from papal authority and appointing himself Supreme Head of the Church of England to dissolve convents and monasteries for which he was excommunicated by the pope so that he could divorce his first wife Catherine to sexually pursue his wife's lady-in-waiting's sister was quite a revolution in the sexual world of England in 1509, and yet society was not ruined enough to not produce the grassroots social conservative activism in the 1960s. I struggle to see how the legal changes brought on by legalizing no-fault divorce and the sale of condoms and allowing women to own property and open bank accounts is more ruinous to a society than a society's government changing the fundamental religion of the country so that he could cheat.
Republicans in Congress have such a slim majority right now that Democrats cannot afford anyone to be arrested for any period of time. They already have to convince 5+ Republicans to get a majority, they don’t want to sabotage themselves and make it 6+ because one of their own congressmen pushed through the National Guard to get into his office and was arrested on the spot. Republicans are counting on them to resist so that they can lock up the congressmen and drag out the proceeding legal fight so the congressmen are too busy trying to get out of jail and can’t vote on legislation.

I won't agree that the Sexual Revolution has only been around for a few generations; I posit the people of medieval times certainly were not the paragon of sexual un-promiscuous behavior.

The Republican party released a video of migrants in chains and called it ASMR. In my opinion it’s not a reach that the cruelty can stretch to that, and that they believe they have the political capital to do it, seeing as, in my opinion, their base has supported every cruel executive order made so far.

“Sexual misconduct allegations requiring less proof”, “increasing the rate of reports” and “arguing that safeguards against false accusations must be systematically removed” all, to me, run afoul of the definition of feminism, which is “a social movement that advocates for equality between men and women in all aspects of life”, so that’s not feminist.

So, can you elaborate what "want it rubbed in people's faces" means? Because that's probably where you're going to find the answer to your question, since "not rubbing it in people's faces" includes
- making it illegal for individuals to "promote homosexuality"
- making same-sex couples and households headed by same-sex couples ineligible for the legal protections available to opposite-sex couples
- not allowing transgender adults to change their legal gender and
- banning all gender-affirming care
- making it illegal for people suffering from gender dysphoria to adopt children
- changing the status of marriages by a trans individual with a person who shares the same birth sex as them to nullified
- defining violent criminal acts carried out against LGBT people as criminal offences under Russian law such that fact that crimes which are motivated by the sexual orientation or gender identity of the victim is not considered an aggravating factor when the court determines the sentence
- providing no anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people and having no designation for hate crimes based on sexual orientation and gender identity
- deeming the distribution of "materials promoting LGBTQ relationships" to minors, which was then updated in 2022 to extend to apply to anyone regardless of age, thus making any expression deemed a promotion of non-traditional sexual relationships illegal
- ruling the international LGBTQ movement to be "extremist", outlawing it in the country, the the proceeding day sending security forces to raid bars, male saunas and nightclubs across Moscow
- ruling homosexual acts between consenting males were against the law until 1993
- never approving a request to hold a gay pride rally
Hopefully you can see why that would infuriate anyone, much less liberals, and how it appears a little more than "simply don't celebrate it".

I feel like just saying “atheists are wrong, God exists” isn’t much of an argument for anyone who isn’t religious, and I’m failing to find the connection between legalizing child sex and…the existence of atheist mothers?
I created an account, after years of lurking, just now to respond to this thread As A Woman. And not only that, As A Liberal, Cisgendered Woman. I supposed I have strong feelings about reading all these sentiments about folks of my sex and gender and couldn’t help myself from chiming in, as I think most of the advice and ideas in this thread are useless for the lurking men reading here who actually want to date a woman.
I have seen tons of absolute and negative statements about my personality (since I am a woman and am therefore lumped in) with little evidence, and am wondering; do you, and folks in this thread who agree with you, actually want to date a woman? Because it doesn’t seem like you fundamentally respect them. It seems to me the general sentiment is that all women are emotionally immature children (without objective evidence to prove it). My subjective observation would be that that attitude - women are liars, women are picky, etc. - about women leaks out into interactions with them, and, understandably, they, or I supposed “we”, do not want to get romantically or sexually involved with someone who thinks so poorly of “us”. Well, I suppose some of “us” do, but that’s a kink lol. I would recommend that loveless men consider one solution to their lack of success in the dating market is to re-examine their overall attitude about women and see if that isn’t playing a part as to why women are not responding the way you want them to.
