  • Absolute waste of tax money and resources, anyone advocating for this policy is an idiot and psychotic control freak that should never be allowed to opine on public policy.

    Outdated values are driving this country back into the stone age. The body was designed to be horny as we go through teenage years. It’s nature. Rather than guide kids on the safe path, fools would forbid, outlaw, prohibit until they can’t control them after age of 18.

    Here’s how this plays out… Kids are going to masturbate, regardless. They will dive deeper into the Internet into places with no restrictions and be exposed to really messed up stuff. Hey at least the parent can pat themselves on the back, right, they were good partners that did everything right by the book, even paying the kid’s therapist.


  • First bullet from the link.

    Women make up more than half of the U.S. population, and control or influence 85% of consumer spending

    No. Just flat out no. Statistically, if the norm is to start at 50%, then the quoted number is way too much deviation to be statistically improbable. It does not pass the smell test.

    Then I scrolled further down. Oh boy, that website is a misinformation gift box.

    Women account for 85% of all consumer purchases:
    91% New Homes
    66% PCs
    92% Vacations
    80% Healthcare
    65% New Cars
    89% Bank Accounts
    93% Food
    93% OTC Pharmaceuticals

    I’m sorry, those assertion are just impossible. New home of $300k - $700k is purchase by women, alone? I stopped thinking after this and encourage all to stop believing something just because they “cited” their sources.

    Only source that is trust worthy is US BLS, and this is the quote from the website.

    Approximately 40% of U.S. working women now out-earn their husband.

    Only relevant data point I can find is from https://www.bls.gov/opub/reports/womens-databook/2022/home.htm

    In 2021, women who worked full time in wage and salary jobs had median usual weekly earnings of $912, which represented 83.1 percent of men’s median weekly earnings ($1,097).

    This is the usual “80 cents for a 1.00 dollar” that has been widely tracked for the last decade, between women and men workers. This tells me the girls power link is misleading on key statistics. As a personal note, the government never refers to “wife” or “husband”, so that immediate red flag this number was cherry picked and derived.

    TL;DR - key figures shown on girls power marketing website does not pass smell test. Their “citing” is vague. Do not trust.

    My opinion, websites like these hurt equality movement.





  • It always bothered me when in law class they said court “opinion” matters and can set “precedence”. Then we go over case from 100 years ago saying they are still valid today.

    I’m like … is everything just loosely “understood” with final “constitutional” decision being made on the spot every time it’s challenged? That’s just asking for abuse of the system, try until you get what you want… Prof at that time convinced me there’s more to that so don’t worry.

    Long behold, look at what extremists are doing at the SC today, and absolutely no rails to guard it.
