These people really need to get a life. A lot of envy, jealousy, probable anger that they’ve never had any fun. It’s all very sad.

Let's keep people as children for as long as possible. They can't be trusted to make their own decisions. https://t.co/W0G4ZFa6uf

Good god, Vanessa’s take is deeply, deeply stupid.

People think I am exagerrating when I say liberal feminists want to remove all agency from women. But no, they really do.

the power argument is also simplistic. Younger, more attractive people have access to more partners than older people. Youth and attractiveness are a form of power.

Power has multiple dimensions, it isn't all "older is more powerful."

Exactly.

I cannot believe the paternalistic idiocy of claiming grown ass adults are children. I would have been sick if anyone claimed this about me when I was twenty.

Same. It’s just 100% bonkers.

If people can be so delusional about how much they themselves eat and why they are obese and unhealthy, just imagine how fantastically fallacious the rest of what they think and believe must be.
