May I ask where you live?

I'm in a college town. State College, PA. Yes, it's affluent enough to make home ownership unattainable for most. Even amongst the non-students in the area, financially independent young women simply don't exist.

I own a yoga studio downtown and so I must admit that I talk to a fair amount of young women, albeit in a professional setting.

I've got young kids. Waking up early is the best time for me to be productive and enjoy solitude.

Yes. We'll be ruled by a minority (Christian nationalists) because we think that downvoting on social media is sufficient participation in politics.
