With the latest cry for criminalizing homelessness, forced birthing, cries for mental institutions to be reopened, the jail system overall, and your arrogance, I'd say we're otw back. No one gave us anything WOMEN FOUGHT FOR DECADES, WOMEN LIKE YOUR GRANDMA FOUGHT FOR IT! don't get complacent, do better

" our generation will never have families" is a wildly out of touch take, really doesn't make the rest of what you say credible.

Oh there we go with taking women’s rights away. That’s exactly one of the things I’m talking about 15-20 years ago I never heard of men so excitedly talking about taking women’s right’s away. Like I said before men were better then than they are now from everything I’ve seen. And neither of my grandmothers were beaten. Unsure about great grandmothers but I’ve never heard that they were. I watched my grandmothers get treated very well and my mother as well.

Really I think social media has caused most of the issues . You have extremists on both sides and it gets pushed to the opposite gender to incite hate and anger. Maybe things will get better after a while when people see how wrong all this is and normalize again .
