There's this lifelong female friend of mine whom I care about a lot. She was a raging feminist up until not too long ago. Recently, we had a heart to heart, and she told me that she just wanted to feel accepted by her peers, but she still was not, even after pledging allegiance to feminism. She is very tomboyish, and she is autistic, so other women have always been quite awful to her. That was the case when we were children, and it's still the case now. She told me she wishes she could have faith in God like mine. It was actually surprising to me that she saw me as a good Christian and even admirable, as she has seen some really bad behavior from me.
She has been slowly freeing herself from feminism. Recently, my parish priest told me that she had contacted him and had been asking him questions about the faith. She is very clearly trying and struggling to wrap her head around things like homosexuality being bad. Please pray for her, that God may lead her down the right path. I do not feel comfortable giving her advice or telling her what to do, as her disposition is such that attempting to do so will almost definitely just massively piss her off, and my oratory abilities are quite terrible in any case. There's not much I can do for her other than be there for her and pray.

My goal is to make abortion unthinkable because we know that it kills a human being and it harms her mother. I am fighting for an Australia where we recognise the human rights of babies in-utero and where we give concrete and meaningful support to women during pregnancy and beyond.
In this explosive episode, Dr. Jo exposes how SBS Insight deliberately misled viewers about Australia’s abortion laws, cutting crucial corrections and spreading false claims. From late-term abortion legality to fabricated public support statistics, the media’s bias is undeniable. Dr. Jo breaks down the legislation, government data, and the shocking reality of abortions performed up to birth—facts the abortion industry doesn’t want you to know. Despite complaints to the SBS Ombudsman, the lies continue. If you care about truth, medical ethics, and accountability, WATCH NOW.

Man, that's a bummer, but you're not wrong. At the very least, next Mother's Day we can all kick this thread up a notch.Notice how empty this thread is compared to the destruction of modern women thread. That should tell you something.

I took an intro figure skating class back in the day. It was cheap through my university and I was bored and wanted to learn to skate. Turned out I was the only guy in the class which actually surprised me even though it shouldn't have. It was a lot of fun and helped improve my balance and coordination.I’m posting this because I wanted to tell someone but didn’t have anyone to tell it to. I was at an ice rink and there were figure skaters practicing. It was mesmerizing. Their figures, their movements. Not a spare ounce of fat to be shared among them. There was one that looked, as I have no other words to describe her, flawless. A literal Disney princess brought to life, with a single braid of brunette hair going down the full length of her back. Women don’t wear their hair like that anymore and I don’t know why. No dyed hair, no tattoos, no sour looks, no yelling or cursing, no crass music, just pleasant smiles, laughter, and elegance.
Watching them skate in teams in perfect synchronized harmony was one of the most beautiful, delicate, graceful and feminine things I’ve seen in a while. I’d nearly forgotten what femininity looked like. With all the garbage we witness day to day, this felt like a shower for my brain.

While randomly looking through statistics, I found that nowadays women mostly outnumber men as university students. Even in Islamic Southeast Asia, women outnumber men. I think it is good that women are becoming more ambitious and setting a higher bar for themselves.
Here is the university gender percentage in Indonesia:

Women going to university makes them postpone child birth. For women to study and work they need to have a special regime for allowing them to be mothers. If society wants women to work we need to accept the extra burden of giving them motherhood privileges. Remote work. Part-time work, extra money etc. Making women choose between motherhood and career is madness. And killing societies.
And leadership positions should not be given to women. Even if they have the skills sometimes some do (Tatcher). It´s better for society and for them they dont have to be in those positions. Only exceptionally leadership positions be given. Generally if a women achieves a leadership position it´s because that position have been emptied of any power. A women leader is not a women. It´s something else.
