Your first hubby sounds like mine, but I divorced his ass finally and I have a good guy as my life partner now. CTyankee Dec 1 #95

During that marriage my Mother always reminded me to take birth control so I wouldn't get pregnant and kimbutgar Dec 1 #104

What blighted futures? Demobrat Nov 30 #3

The bottom 50% of available men are basically unable to date IbogaProject Nov 30 #14

Sucks being them. So sad, too bad. Evolve Dammit Nov 30 #18

I get Trumpsters trying to "friend" me on Facebook that I say I don't date men who obviously have no respect for women. kerry-is-my-prez Dec 2 #125

Okay. So women no longer have to settle for ugly, stupid, abusive men, Demobrat Nov 30 #20

THIS !!! The divorce rate is nearly ***half*** of what it was 24 years ago!! uponit7771 Dec 1 #56

I'm curious where you get your numbers quakerboy Dec 1 #65

50% was just made up IbogaProject Dec 1 #77

I don't think so. malthaussen Dec 1 #68

"What about us" indeed RandomNumbers Nov 30 #4

Women shifted to Trump too. Self Esteem Nov 30 #5

There are some women Dem4life1234 Nov 30 #8

Mind-boggling. Centuries of subjugation?? Sad in any case. Stronger together. Evolve Dammit Nov 30 #19

It's lazy to just say racism is why Harris lost. Self Esteem Nov 30 #28

It's not lazy, nor offered as the only explanation. RandomNumbers Nov 30 #29

The claim is lazy. Self Esteem Dec 1 #37

You created the claim you wanted to dismiss. You alone added the "only" part. Hermit-The-Prog Dec 1 #94

When that's the 'only' argument the poster is using to explain why Harris lost... Self Esteem Dec 1 #111

Don't call me "friend." You have no credibility with me. Hermit-The-Prog Dec 2 #121

This is an incomplete argument. Self Esteem Dec 1 #38

In the swing states the black movement towards Trump was miniscule at best save Wisconsin uponit7771 Dec 1 #59

This isn't true. Self Esteem Dec 1 #112

There were seven swing states not one uponit7771 Dec 1 #115

It's brainwashing. Most of them learn the hard way that no man "takes care of them." valleyrogue Dec 1 #97

Working is hard. Most jobs, especially entry level jobs, suck. Demobrat Dec 1 #107
