Patient #48273

I really thought something significant might finally happen this week after that montage at the beginning showed that so much time had passed.

That looks super fake to me as a non-expert.

I don't think there's any right way to be a family. Whatever works for the parent(s) and kids is totally valid (assuming there's no abuse or anything) and it shouldn't matter what outsiders think.

That's your own comfort level and that's fine. I also wouldn't be comfortable relying on someone else financially, but I know there are a lot of couples (including some same-sex couples) where only one of them works and they consider earnings to be their money, not just one of theirs. That's actually part of the logic behind couples dividing money and possessions evenly after a divorce, even if one of them didn't work at all (assuming there wasn't a prenup).

Then it makes sense for both parents to work. Part of being a good parent is making sure they're taken care of and that requires a minimum amount of money. If one parent makes a shitload and likes their job, why should both parents work if the other is happy to take care of the kids?

Guys, we taught Oliver about projection and now that's going to be his go-to insult, even- or especially- when it's irrelevant. It's going to be the next strawman or false flag.

I think men who want to stay home and take care of their kids should be able to do that too. How is that not equal? Being a good parent is more important than being a good cog in the capitalist machine regardless of one's gender. And no, the point of feminism is for women (and men, really) to have the freedom to do what they want, unconfined by patriarchy. If that's working in a non-traditional field? Great. If that's working in a traditional field? Awesome. And if that's staying at home with the kids? Also cool.

No feminist would say that women who want to stay home and take care of their kids should be judged for doing so.

Guess what! I don't think Tom's a bad father or a shitty person and I also don't think Jen is a gold digger. Amazing, right?

Have you ever spoken to a therapist about how your ex took advantage of you? It might help.

I'd take an entire board of Jenbots if it meant we had no pedophiles.

Wow, Kyle is an instagram whore.

I'm more likely to share in PMs. Kyle and I are instagram buddies!

Such as???

If it's such a clear perception, I'd think more people would see it than just you.
