Yep. It also correlates extremely strongly with an increasing decrease of violent crime. One of the symptoms of low level constant lead exposure is increased aggression and volatility.
you’re all so defensive when it comes to makeup and that’s because you’ve been spoonfed the lie that criticizing a hugely exploitative industry that relies on women feeling insecure is somehow misogynist. it’s quite literally the opposite and i’m sorry you’ve all been brainwashed like this
it’s bc ppl believe feminism is about preserving and expanding femininity and not about women’s liberation, which would require a reexamination of what femininity is even supposed to be.
the thing about millennials who don’t want kids is I feel like a lot of them are deeply On Board for their friends’ kids
like I’m among the minority of my friends in definitely for sure wanting kids someday
but each of my parenthood-eschewing friends has claimed a different role in my future offspring’s life and they seem very excited to play it
so we as a generation may have fewer children
but I feel like they’ll be the most supported and loved children imaginable
As a millennial who doesn’t want children, I am seconding this, because it’s not like we don’t want children to exist in the world! We do! Children can be lovely and amazing and they are literally our future! It’s just So Very Difficult to raise children in our nuclear-family society, especially as a millennial, and you want to do the job RIGHT.
Well, if you can’t do the job right yourself, the least you can do is help a friend raise THEIR child right, help take the burden off their shoulders, and give that kid all the love and attention they can stand.
I’d be damned excited to do that, too.
this generation is so excited and ready to be weird uncle/aunt so-and-so
I hope this generation makes communal families a thing again and this time it won’t be treated like a “taboo hippie thing”
