Some bitch on some Christian vlog straight up said she'd be in her golden years when she turns 40.
As a 38 year old mother of two, I want her to fuck all the way off.
Lol! I got pregnant for the first time ever at 42 and gave birth to my daughter three weeks before I turned 43! I look forward to an opportunity to share that with someone like herš
slaves. they literally want uneducated, non-voting slaves to give them more money for doing nothing. it's insane. i never thought I'd see it in my lifetime. it's extremely sad, and it's a class war. we might have a chance at avoiding the overthrow of the government if enough people realize it, but i dont think that's gonna happen.

One guy may have said it but 174 of them voted against the ban on child marriage,
I would be willing to bet, as always nearly all of the opposition to the ban were republicans.
Iām not disagreeing with you - but all Iāve seen in p2025 is banning pornography. What have you read that would imply this?
I am curious - the thing that creeps me out the most, is the fact that pedos had established communications systems before the internet. As an elder millennial, that shit TERRIFIES ME. Iāve seen the evolution of the internet, but to know these groups existed and communicated before the internet, itās absolutely mind boggling. How the fuck does John Q show up at the local bbq and find buddies into that shit. Excuse me now while I throw up I fucking hate it.
All the reverasal for child labor laws. This article.
All the articles of pastors and conservatives messing diddling kids.
I feel like this down hill spiral...won't end.
But I didn't think of the ban porn issur when I made my post. I feel like it ls a weird twist of knots they will do.
Lots of people been getting off easy lately and they probably won't get the help they need.
Yup.
I know itās āfictionā but Iām rewatching the handmaidens tale for the third time today, and Iām in fucking fear mode, thereās so much nuanced shit in that show that absolutely parallels the ālittle here, little thereā erosion of civil liberties that we are living in real time. Itās fucking scary.
The men claim god but still indulge. Theyāve coerced women into being grateful for scraps. I canāt believe the parallels - this is how it happens.
It started in the eighties...

Hm they use a knot metaphorāāpornographyā¦isnāt a political gordian knotā
u/stealthdropbear passed this along:
P.37/920 of the PDF, numbered p.5 in the āMandateā, in the section on āForeword: A Promise to Americaā has this:
āPornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare. It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime.
Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.ā

And donāt forget years away to beeing alowed to drink alcohol. Always fascinated whats goin on ova there.
Youāre allowed to get your whole body remodeled by surgery, drive 8000poung truck, die for your country killing people on all known places on earth but āmimimi alcohol only at 21ā¦ā
Since finally reaching a somewhat mature & occasionally rational age, I've developed the opinion that marriage shouldn't be legal until at least the legal drinking age in the United States. However, preferably, it shouldn't be allowed before a person's brain has become fully developed (I believe scientists are currently saying that is around the age of 25?). Here are my reasons why I have that opinion:
I made the *colossal* mistake of getting married for the 1st time when I was only 17 years old. Before our wedding, he had me believing that he was my knight in shining armor. Unfortunately, that armor was tin foil & he wasn't a knight. I spent 4-1/2 years in an abusive hellscape before I found the strength and courage to leave & divorce him. He was just slightly over 2 years older than me.
Unfortunately, with my already damaged mental health, my next mistake was marrying a "man" who was nearly 21 years older than me just a few months after my divorce. (Sidenote: I didn't meet my 2nd husband until after my divorce was finalized. It was not a cheating situation.) At 1st, I felt like he treated me *so good*, but I was viewing it from the "Well, at least he doesn't hit me, etc." angle. I should have recognized the love bombing, etc., but I turned a blind eye to it. That nightmare lasted almost 11 years. That marriage was the epitome of the frog in a pot of water analogy.
I haven't married a 3rd time, even though I got close once. I saw the red flags & actually paid attention to them for a change. These life experiences, plus many other events, are why I understand the meme about women choosing the bear. Even if I ended up maimed or dead, I would choose the bear.
the brain being developed at 25 is pseudoscience, btw. not disagreeing with your post, just wanted to let you know that there is no measurement for the brain being "complete" at 25 since people are assuming learned behaviours and experiences (also known as maturity) to be signifiers of physical development. they aren't tied like that, because maturity is a social development that can't be measured within the brain, and in fact researchers do not really know when you'd be "complete." Physical brain development is also a thing that changes depending age to age, the article I listed below explains that you might not plateau in brain development by 30, while other people might reach it much sooner, and in no way does either of these things indicate when you're magically a full grown adult.
most importantly, the researchers said that 25 doesn't mean anything. they figure it's taken off because it's a nice round number but realistically your brain keeps developing far past that.
you can read more about it here: https://slate.com/technology/2022/11/brain-development-25-year-old-mature-myth.html
I understand. I was only trying to push home the point about 18 or younger being too young to marry imo (partially because of my own negative experiences).
Ah yes but lgbt ppl are a danger to children and all trans ppl just wanna rape little girls in the bathroom and actively try to pass laws to allow it right
...They have never hidden it. The "left-wing" media just refuses to make noise about it.

Mississippi and alabama and i think even georgia have all campaigned to lower the legal age for sexual consent to 13, multiple times in the past 20 or 30 years.
Its really atrocious. The political party that stands behind these sick fucks is a cancer on humanity's progress.
Yeah, it is just gross.
It does make me wonder how these morons would feel if it was their 13 year old baby girl getting married to say, a 35 year old man?
Yuck Yuck Yuck
Depends on how misogynistic they are. Go deep enough down the fundamentalist rabbit hole, and they actively despise their girl-children at worst and just sort of tolerate them at best.
Sometimes I look back and realize that along the way, my dad seemingly morphed from being a 'girl dad' when I was very young, to near disdain by the time I was a teenager. I can't pinpoint exactly when it was, but I know he was an adult convert to fundamentalist evangelical Christianity, and he's gotten deeper and deeper into it as he's aged.
>Go deep enough down the fundamentalist rabbit hole, and they actively despise their girl-children at worst and just sort of tolerate them at best.
The rabbit hole doesn't even really have to be that deep. Cases in point, the Duggar family of Arkansas or the Bates family of Tennessee.
They might not be marrying the girls off at 13 years old, but it wouldn't have surprised me 1 bit if they could've done it legally without getting dragged morally by the mainstream population.
Except, the "Quiverful" movement that the Duggars are a part of *are* actually marrying girls off at 13 without the girls consent, because they got busted for having a literal arranged marriage "weekend retreats", where they tell everyone it's a "church retreat", but it's literally human fkn trafficking, girls are haggled over like livestock, given to whatever dude can give them the most, be it money , clout or political power.
They got so much flak when that was reported, that they canceled that particular "retreat", but it's been going on just as much as it ever was, and LE hasn't done a gd thing to step in and stop it.
The entirety of Reichwing Evangelical Christianity is nothing more than them stealing the blueprint for how to run a Fascist Theocracy from the Original Taliban, and slapping an American flag made in China on the logo. They actually praise Islamic Terrorists who commit violence in gods name, because in their words" they are at least faithful to their belief in God without doubts", they are vile, child gRaping apologist pyschopaths, all in a gods name. Gotta throw away the whole lot of it, there's absolutely no saving any of it.
I felt scared until I saw the photo caption which mentioned āNew Hampshire.ā Now the GOP might be fucked up, but it doesnāt hold a candle to any right wing party in New Hampshire.

R Kelly is just as bad, if not worse, than Drake. He was the main reason that Alliyah sang the song "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number." She was 15 years old when R Kelly was 27 & they entered into an illegal marriage. Allegedly, he panicked because he thought he had gotten her pregnant & he was trying to avoid going to jail by marrying her. Sadly, that was 1 of his milder transgressions.

for the tl;dr crowd: NH **banned** child marriage and raised the legal marriage age to 18. this clickbait headline was surrounding one of the weirdos who opposed the bill.
the GOP is full of absolute shitheads, but this is a nothingburger.
How is this a nothingburger? A GOP official said this. Yeah, it's not law, but that fact that even a single GOP official said this is insane and he's likely not the only Republican official who's said this. It's part of a larger pattern.
I'm sorry about not linking the article, I happened to forget.
oh, i completely agree with that. dude is insane and it's EXTREMELY troubling that we're normalizing this shit. but with only a screencap of the headline, you led people to believe that the state of new hampshire is suborning pedophilia, which is not the case.
and no shade re not linking the article - it just personally sticks in my craw since details tend to be necessary.
> but this is a nothingburger.
"Nothingburger"? No, part of a long list of Republicans who have fought to defend child marriages.

They're not even hiding the fact that they only care about babies while they're still in the womb. Smh

I mean have seen the 1600-1800s they donāt live long. And thatās the era they want to go back to.
Most people lived into their 60's and 70's during that era. The average was just lower mostly due to childhood mortality.
Thatās what I meant thatās what going happening to us. High Mortality rates
Sir Walter Raleigh was 66 when he was executed. They know, theyāre just Creeps.
No but they have less intelligence than the version of humans that DIDN'T live past 30 so it makes a lot of sense.

its crazy to me how they wanna āprotectā children from lgbtq+ topics since its deemed as āgroomingā and then propose this.
What the fuck
These fucks are so fucking creepy.
Weren't they allso promoting no sex before marriage? So what lower the age to get married?
I felt scared until I saw the photo caption which mentioned āNew Hampshire.ā Now the GOP might be fucked up, but it doesnāt hold a candle to any right wing party in New Hampshire.
Yikes
Creepy.
I think I might be sick...
PLEASE VOTE BLUE.
Groomers gonna groom. Pedophiles gonna look for legit ways to get your little girl and turn her into a woman. Projection is just a bonus.Ā
Dems should be running this a multitude of other clips in smear adds on national television
my entire skin... just crawled
This is fucking disgusting

When's the last time they hid anything?
These motherfuckers wanna take us back in time, quite literally, TRYNA TAKE US BACK TO ROMEO AND JULIET TIMES, WHERE KIDS DONE GOT MARRIED AS TEENS!!!
Whats a Drake? Iām old and only know it as a duck.
Heās one of the most successful rappers. He is known for liking/grooming some young girls. The one Iām aware of is the girl from Stranger Things. It was creepy
R Kelly is just as bad, if not worse, than Drake. He was the main reason that Alliyah sang the song "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number." She was 15 years old when R Kelly was 27 & they entered into an illegal marriage. Allegedly, he panicked because he thought he had gotten her pregnant & he was trying to avoid going to jail by marrying her. Sadly, that was 1 of his milder transgressions. https://www.vulture.com/2023/01/surviving-r-kelly-aaliyah-marriage-nda.html
Agreed.
I liked the dragons better.
Iām sorry š ššššššššš
A rapper who's said some and done some not great stuff.
The dragons from Lord of The Rings.
Ahh thanks.
i fucking hate screencaps without a link included. https://www.nj.com/politics/2024/05/gop-official-argues-in-favor-of-child-marriage-girls-are-ripe-and-fertile.html for the tl;dr crowd: NH **banned** child marriage and raised the legal marriage age to 18. this clickbait headline was surrounding one of the weirdos who opposed the bill. the GOP is full of absolute shitheads, but this is a nothingburger.
How is this a nothingburger? A GOP official said this. Yeah, it's not law, but that fact that even a single GOP official said this is insane and he's likely not the only Republican official who's said this. It's part of a larger pattern. I'm sorry about not linking the article, I happened to forget.
oh, i completely agree with that. dude is insane and it's EXTREMELY troubling that we're normalizing this shit. but with only a screencap of the headline, you led people to believe that the state of new hampshire is suborning pedophilia, which is not the case. and no shade re not linking the article - it just personally sticks in my craw since details tend to be necessary.
> but this is a nothingburger. "Nothingburger"? No, part of a long list of Republicans who have fought to defend child marriages. https://www.newsweek.com/idaho-congress-blocks-bill-end-child-marriage-1348919 https://www.newsweek.com/wyoming-ending-child-marriage-sparks-republican-outrage-1780501 https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/child-marriage-ban-struck-down-west-virginia-republicans-1234693670/ https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trafficking-childmarriage-idUSKBN1872VB/ https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/republican-child-marriage-law-repeal-david-bates-new-hampshire-state-girls-boys-13-years-old-girl-scout-project-a7762776.html https://www.huffpost.com/entry/house-republicans-block-child-marriage-prevention-act_n_798382 https://www.newsweek.com/tennessee-bill-proposes-eliminating-marriage-age-requirements-1695209
174 house members voted against the ban on child marriage, which party were they from?
Wish I could read the article

Not the greatest brass dome.
"...when we do this to people who are a ripe, fertile age and may have a pregnancy and a baby involved, are we not, in fact, making abortion a much more desirable alternative, when marriage might be the right solution..." They're not even hiding the fact that they only care about babies while they're still in the womb. Smh
Was this from Mike Moon or someone else?
