General Discussion

And I haven't in years, probably.

Thinking of my 5 year old niece and what kind of world she will be living in. I grew up in the 80s and I (female) knew and was told I could be whatever I wanted to be. No constraints because of my gender. I also was not warned about shitty men, but that's another story. I did not have to deal with the pornification of everything and the fact that young men only think of girls/women as sex objects, making them do degrading acts they've seen in porn. And now her world might be constrained by no access to birth control (when the time comes).

I'm so glad that young women these days are ditching the loser/incel boys and men we seem to be creating (those losers voted for Trump in a big way). Still I fear we are on the verge of some sort of Handmaid's Tale situation, in which young women are not allowed to travel, because they might be traveling to have an abortion.
