I don't think that the tax system was ever set up to allow individual's to decide where "their" tax dollars would be spent. That is why we have a representative government. Also, our form of government was designed to use those funds for the collective good--not individual.Except that women are taxpayers. They have the same right as anyone else to make a case for where their tax money goes.
I support the right of private charities to make their own rules, but safety nets should also have a federal aspect. Partly, because while communities can best identify the ways in which financial assistance can most help their people, they can't fund it. And, there have been many cases where they might have the money but divert it or refuse to use it on safety nets. Another aspect is simple human dignity. Poverty is not a moral failing and poor people shouldn't be treated as subhuman, or generalized as lazy. It's complex. But it also gets beyond women's issues except as single parents. A large proportion of single mothers do not make a living wage or are on some form of assistance.That is very true and IMO does not make those entities very charitable. That being said, I don't think our government was ever designed to be all things to all people, nor was it designed to provide relief to constituents at all. Safety nets should be part of community, not government.
Why? What have they done to you personally?We could just stop accommodating the mental illness of Tran people. At some point you have to stop being polite.
Women's issues and feminism. Certain folks seem overly concerned with transgender people yet in the scheme of issues, it's minor.No idea who how the two are remotely related.
You might not be kidding but you also aren't accurate.Feminism is in the dust bin of history. It got killed by wokism and Baskin Robbins 57 gender flavors.
White women are now the enemy. You are all Karens. You must be destroyed along with all white men.
And Coyote, I am not kidding.

In this regard, you are preaching to the choir. I am fully aware of the challenges that single mothers are faced with, being the product of such a home. Personal experience has shown me that a single mother with four children can survive. She was thrown into the workplace with no experience in her 40s. She was determined and tenacious. The family pulled together. Meager resources were pooled and we all survived--without one dime of government or public assistance. I am not denying that there are cases that are the exception but certainly not the rule.A large proportion of single mothers do not make a living wage or are on some form of assistance.
I think it really depends - I don't know how old you are (if we're the same generation) - but I know things were different when I was a kid than families face now. I think when a single parent has family and community support that can help. Like I mentioned in the OP...the grandmother who babysat a single mother's child for free, because she had an erratic work schedule. That helped her stay in a job and the grandmother also encouraged her to get her education. Support structures like that matter. (And this example and much of what I was thinking of was stimulated by a radio show I was listening to - where traditional feminism doesn't place value on that grandmother as a woman).In this regard, you are preaching to the choir.

They're making my side look ridiculous. Trans insanity is becoming associated with left wing politics. We should separate ourselves from it.Why? What have they done to you personally?
I think there is an element of "fad" about it now...and within that fad there is a small percentage who truly are. I think it will die down and we will move on to other things. At least I hope so.They're making my side look ridiculous. Trans insanity is becoming associated with left wing politics. We should separate ourselves from it.
I'm also just tired of listening to their bullshit. It's not the responsibility of other people to accommodate their insecurity and mental illness.
I didn't say to be cruel, but the truth is not always polite. I don't want to harass or bully anybody. I want to tell men that they can't compete in female sports and take the spotlight away from the actual women that deserve it, no matter how much it hurts their feelings.I think there is an element of "fad" about it now...and within that fad there is a small percentage who truly are.

But within that group are people who truly are trans, so we be unnecessarily cruel? They have it hard enough don't they? If consider it a mental illness...well, do you treat other mentally ill people rudely?
I don't owe you more effort than I gave you Karen.
You're the one making assumptions.
Maybe if you weren't so defensive that wouldn't have happened.
Definitely triggered.
Yeah, you ARE triggered.
.
You made numerous statements about the gender gap in pay.
Then you made a statement that very well could lead someone to an assumption.
The poster that triggered you didn't assume anything and asked you for clarification.
Then you went off on them like they had done something wrong and accused them doing what you failed to avoid directing them towards.
You both sold and bought that ticket, and at no consequence to the other poster ...
.
It is not the public's responsibility and it will prevent unnecessary
Parties pretend to be "pro-family"...well what exactly does that mean? IMO it means the types of things I discuss above.
Could you be more specific?This is a lie.
I am not a part of that so I can not tell you what their goals should be. Having said that this video is a PRIME EXAMPLE of where it's gone wrong.Here's a chance for honest dialogue in this thread right? Where should feminism be going?
