I was watching a streamer in japan. They eat really healthy in general. Not healthy but like simple (rice and noodles). Everyone there seems pretty upbeat/happy. They also walk a lot. People in america drive too much and argue too much. Everyone in japan is on same page. In america there is some fat fuck shouting their lungs and we are supposed to accept them or its bullying.

Win win !

So happy to hear that.

Look, people don't want to talk about this, but across the board, when education and opportunity go up for women, birth rates go down.

It turns out having and raising kids is really hard. Pregnancy takes a huge toll and children offer offer little personal benefit in economically advanced societies. When given other options, a lot of women just won't want to do it. Or if they do have kids, it'll be fewer.

I say this as a women who has never wanted kids. Pregnancy looks like something out of a nightmare to me.

We need to have an economic model that allows for fewer children moving forward.

Where there is more economic stability that allows people to live longer there is usually more gender equality

Ya if women have to do hard manual labour then for sure

I think the main problem is that for men, historically, being the one raising kids is looked down upon. This still lingers. And for women, being the one staying at home is now looked down upon. Just see how some people are frowned upon for traditional roles. We just need to be okay with anyone doing his life, no matter if a man wants to stay at home raising kids, a women wanted a strong career path or a woman wanting to stay home and let the men earn the money. All those three things are not equally accepted in society. But they should be.

They gave my aunt a new leukemia medication 10 years ago and there hasn't been any relapse since. I think it was bortazomide.

I meant that the social acceptance for men being the one staying at home is not equivalent than to women staying at home.

that was worth the read. very sweet story.

Michigan may be home to Hell but I guess the state really isn't.

My apologies but I think they were sarcastic, they were agreeing with you.

What an amazing story. Holocaust survivor gets taken care of for free at the end of her life. Great lady and great people that took care of her.

What a great story...good people will always find each other :)

this comment section is abysmal

literacy means educated which means they'll start questioning the bullshit. Keep them impoverished and uneducated= easily led around to petty bullshit (gas stoves)

Reddit is a cesspit.

What?

Yes because they don’t care about us we are replaceable to them.

Republicans don’t talk about race , Democrats are the ones that are obsessed with telling us we are different than others because of our skin.

But it works in the other direction as well. When underdeveloped countries invest in gender equality, that leads to becoming richer. You have more people contributing to the economy, a higher output across the country.
