RECOMMENDED - CONTRALAND: A Shocking Documentary About Sex Trafficking In America (TW!) kzread.info/dash/bejne/foOJqbiSgrzZodY.html

I was brought up by a single mother in the 60's & 70's. I'm so glad that she made us focus on education & accomplishments rather than material things, getting pretty, or being popular. Parents need to prepare their girl children for reality, not fill their heads with stupid shite about happily ever after, or whatever.

Sounds like your mother wanted you to end up as miserable as her. You can try and sell it as anti materialism etc upbringing, it wasn't. It isn't a nice thought that your parents motivation was to justify their own bad choices.

@@andrewbradshaw2361 You're awfully judgmental for someone so miserable and misogynistic.

This is sad to watch. And plenty of women are still living this way now. If you want a chance at being happy, learn about the childfree lifestyle. And make sure you do it before you have kids. Sure, children can bring you love and moments of joy, but they are also a major drag on your life and keep you trapped in jobs and relationships that you hate (not to mention poverty, in many cases.) America is not designed to support the single mother, which is what most women are. If you don’t want to be overworked and overwhelmed, consider not having kids. I’m 48 years old, married, with no kids of my own, and I have the most relaxed and carefree lifestyle of anyone I know. I haven’t even had a real job since 2002. I did have to terminate a pregnancy at age 17, after my abusive 23-year-old boyfriend got me pregnant on purpose. But even then, I knew not to get trapped in a situation like that. He ended up in prison for the next 22 years for murder while I lived my life traumatized by him, but as happy as one can expect. If I had stupidly had his child, he would have been in my life this whole time. He got out of prison, got married, and had two boys. Yet he still whines about the abortion on Facebook. It never occurs to him that he should have gone to prison for statutory rape and domestic violence against me. He only sees it from his selfish point of view. In reality, he should be grateful that any woman would marry him and give him children because he certainly doesn’t deserve it. I worry that he abuses his whole family the way he abused me. And I hope he doesn’t stab his wife to death like he did his roommate. Of course, he’s a Christian and an ignorant Republican. What else would you expect from a wifebeating, child raping murderer? It’s Christian men like him who don’t want women to have options and freedom. Don’t vote against your better interest. If abortion hadn’t been legal in the 90s, I would have been completely f*cked.

It was Trumps fault 😢

I thank God that I had a dad that respected my mom and loved her for 53 years when she passed away 😢 this past February was their 64th Anniversary, my dad still celebrates it in some small way. He tells me all the time he wanted to go first. 😢

I grew up in that era and I'm not quite sure why I do not hate men. I was sexually harassed on many jobs, I was raped on vacation when someone paid the bar tender to put a roofie in my drink, I had an abusive father and I was groped by ppl I shouldn't have been groped by. I don't hate men though because not all men are idiots. My husband was never like that, he respects women. We are married over 40 years. Some men have self-respect and standards, the rest will burn in hell like a rotisserie chicken.

It takes a lot of courage to see men for what they are. Most women give up and give in and resent women who have the insight to hate them.

Being raped does not feel worse based on skin color... When you think you are the only one who has ever been oppressed..YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. My father, during the anti white campaign of the 70's..was savagely beaten by a DILDO WHO saw an older white male sitting at a red light..and got his groin off FOR ALL PAST WHITE ON BLACK RACISM.. I AM sure that DILDO FELT LIKE A MESSIAH.... What that dead butted coward did NOT know was my father was the first person in modern times to ever attempt to clean up the VERY dangerous NOPD.. He was almost murdered..he had to leave town to protect his wife and child.. When he returned...he was recruited by a multimillionaire who valued my father's integrity.. He could not make systemic changes... BUT ANYTIME HE WAS CALLED..AND IT WAS OFTEN.. IF IT WAS 3 IN THE MORNING..HE WENT DOWN AND BAILED OUT UNJUSTLY ARRESTED BLACK MEN... He could usually get it immediately dropped because he had so much dirt on the CROOKED cops, DA's and magistrates.. He knew ALMOST none of these people....the WERE relatives or neighbors or fellow church members of employees... He gave them jobs if they needed one... got them to court if it could not be solved immediately... If that DILDO that got his groin off beating up a completely innocent older white male had killed my father... MANY INNOCENT BLACK MEN WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN OPP OR RAILROADED ON INTO ANGOLA... OH BTW HE COULD HAVE KILLED THE DILDO..HE WAS CONCEALED CARRY...HE CHOSE TO JUST FIGHT HIM OFF AND NOT SHOOT HIM... AND.....WENT RIGHT BACK TO HIS PREVIOUS ACTIVITIES.. When I shook my head and said ..."and you probably BAILED out his PAW...." He chastised ME and said..."Girl, you can't blame a whole race of people for what one example did"... THE ANTI WHITE BS GOING ON NOW... MAY LEAVE YOU WITH NO ONE TO HELP YOU.... .

I was born in 72. All I wanted was all I knew coming from my parents, be married and have a family. But things changed and in the 90s that was not my priority anymore. I wanted to be a professional and work. I married at 31, I had 1 child almost 16 now, and I divorced. But I never quit working, deep inside me I knew I needed to continue working. After my divorce I went back to school and I got my second degree. I work in a great company and have a great job. Pay is not that bad either. I don’t have a man in my live and I don’t need one. Sometimes I feel lonely but I wouldn’t go back to my old live for a mill bucks. Is hard, live is hard, but I prefer it this way. At least my live is my own now.

Careful now. Here come the 'But...what about the MEN??!!" crew. And also the "Yea, we male-bodied blokes who identify as females too!!!" contingent. It's important to address the needs of each group, absolutely. Yes, trans lives matter. But somewhere in the mix, issues pertaining to female-born women are taken less seriously these days. That's unfortunate.

Kuma Onrain - I agree. When dealing with an issue such as misogyny, it does affect everybody - men and women, but often in different ways. People who identify differently from their biological sex are also affected. However, this is about how these things affect girls growing up to be women and there is a case to be made out for addressing this for this group, who happen to be 50% of the population. Why not address things distinctly for any other group, whose issues may be different? Why always the insertion of the: 'Yes, but what about the others?' Is the biologically female (girls and women) 50% of the population irrelevant? Isn't this a covert statement of misogyny in itself?! This platform has already shown that it takes the stories and experiences of men seriously. Why not ask, in one of those comment threads about this issue? Why place it here? Because women's experiences growing up are considered of lesser importance?!

@@dorasneddon774 Hi, Dora, it might be difficult to parse my larger point or intent based on a very statically presented sentence or two in comment thread, but ostensibly and sincerely I agree with you. I think. There is the issue that the words 'female' 'male' 'man' 'woman' etcetera are being rigorously repurposed such that there are those who feel a page and space like this one IS NECESSARILY transphobic by favouring biologically essentialist uses of those terms. I've been seeing it elsewhere. Hence what I guess was a bit ...regretably now...a knee-jerk reaction I guess. It does, however, irk me that there are those in trans-activism and in MRA activism who seek to insert themselves into conversations that would be better served by addressing the needs on one maligned group specifically - biological women. There are trans-activists who will assert that a video like this one necessitates the inclusion of male-bodied individuals who use the word female to describe their existence. What are your thoughts on that, Dora? Cheers

It's sad what society does to us humans; people are programmed by the shows; movies and music; wake up and shut it off. They also got rid of God. Guess what God is still here. Also people looked older back then. I'm 54yrs old; I agree with that woman; I also find it hard to meet a man as strong as me mentally. I think we need to get away from calling people by their race; because you are either an American citizen or an illegal

I have to disagree about “God”. Religion has been controlling and demeaning women and children for centuries. If women ever want to be happy, they will have to abandon their ancient religions. It’s fine if you want to believe in God and have a sense of spirituality, but Judeo-Christian religions are the worst kind of lie designed to keep women under the thumb of men.

Yes, we can "[get] away from calling people by their race" Just as soon as the United States finally addresses the "race" issue; all the LAWS and centuries then decades of legally allowed discrimination, exploitation and murder via lynching that gave white people the belief they are better than black people. White people like you think you re doing good by talking like you do, but you haven't a single clue what black people have gone through and continue to go through.
