but that’s not the only questionable design decision on the X.

They didn't want sliding doors because that makes it a minivan. And minivans are "uncool"

Don't know what to tell you. I'm expressing my opinion on how I personally see them, which is an entity that is openly hostile to the American public.

People voting for them doesn't negate this. It only means that people vote against their own self-interests, which is nothing new as we've seen time and time again.

With Israel's mask off, other nations need to start allowing these protesters so long as they don't actually turn violent.

We don't need to pretend that Israel is the "good guys" anymore; they've straight-up told us told us that they aren't.

The birth rate over 30 is probably lower, and putting a deadline forces you into a FOMO situation.

I've a heard a similar theory explaining why some (U.S.) Republicans want to ban fertility treatments: FOMO to have kids younger because you might not be able to later.

I personally think this will not work out the way they plan it to, bu there is a twisted train of thought behind it.

The American version need not be TERF though. It is not an inherent part of what 4B actually entails and is extraneous to the purpose of 4B.

I support the 4b movement in theory but when I tried to join I was told I couldn’t, because I’m married to a man.

This is why, when I mention 4B in more general contexts I also talk about "birthstriking". My partner supports 4B as an ally but isn't a participant because she isn't going to leave me to make a statement. I also consider myself to be an ally of the movement, even though I'm a hetero man in a relationship with a woman. I'm a loudmouth far left / socialist. And I've also had a vasectomy to at least keep that 4th "B" out of the equation.

We live in a blue stronghold state that protects women's rights, but if things get clamped down here we may decide to take additional precautions.

Funny that Musk supports "long-termism" and yet helped get Trump into office. A real face-eating leopards moment.

That’s some “she was asking for it with the way she was dressed” shit.

Or more like "she was asking for it simply for existing"

Knew what it was going to be as soon as I read the headline.

It's not about feeling better. It's about calling out bad behavior (i.e. misogyny).

It's about risk management, first and foremost.

I suppose you might get a second look from a 4B-practitioner if you had a vasectomy (i.e. to remove the risk of pregnancy), but I'm a man so I can only speculate on this. And of course this isn't such a great option if you do plan to have kids some day. Then again, despite the anti-abortion rhetoric of "don't have sex if you aren't ready to reproduce", planned pregnancies are much more dangerous under abortion bans.
