Good, god fearing women in the perceived safety of their own homes have countless times fallen victim to rape and murder. Reminds me of the ridiculous presumption that rapists select their victims based on how provocatively they are dressed. This has repeatedly been disproven, study after study.

My heart goes out to the family of Kenzie, having to deal with the aftermath and I pray they do not ever come across this thread.
How dare you define homemakers that way!! My mother stayed home and raised four children and she could have taken the easy route and gone to work, but chose her family's needs before her own. I pity people like you that don't know the importance of the traditional home. After reading your post, one can wonder if the lack of the parent being there to guide their children is why there is such a lack of common sense in our youth today. Unfortunately, we left educators to brainwash our children instead.

Well, maybe their parents should have thought about their college educations when they were in preschool. There are ways to keep student loans down, like going to local colleges. My step son went to a State college and works for the Bank of Japan making millions. I have another friend who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a college education for one of her sons and he's a Left Leaning nut job who cares more about illegals than the homeless veteran that he walks past on his way to work.

Are you saying because it is hard to immigrate into this country, which it should be, you have no problem with people cutting the line and doing it illegally? Would you like it if someone cut ahead of you at the theater when there was a limited number of seats available? These people seeking "asylum" could have stayed in Mexico and they would have been safe.

I'm sure you were quite capable of reading a story about a girl who got killed meeting a stranger at 3am and concluding from that story that it's not a good idea to meet a stranger at 3am. Not because someone held the girl up to you as a cautionary tale. I feel like saying her death is due to her choices is shaming her in a way, and I don't think it's necessary. As I said I think it's so obvious that there is no need and no positives to stating it.
If you want to read a news article and would rather not read differing views than your own, you should not participate in this type of social media discussion. Obviously, it upsets you that people are not living in the world of denial and are speaking the truth. I notice that there are people that would rather see the world with rose colored glasses on. They don't want to hear anything negative but it isn't reality. It isn't even healthy to raise children this way because it is important for them to know there are dangerous people out there.

Acknowledging that risky behavior increases the chances of bad things happening isn't the same as "shaming." They call it "risky behavior" for a reason. I wouldn't want my son going to meet an internet connection in the park at 3 a.m. either, if that makes you feel any better.

They teach until they’re ready to pop today, the kids get to see her belly grow, feel the baby kick. They see the presents in the corner from the baby shower the other teachers had for her at lunch. This idea that kids are under the control of anti-family feminists is wrong, at least as far as pre-collegiate level goes. And by the time a girl gets to college she already knows if she wants a family or not.

If being a mom was considered so normal and natural back then, why were teachers fired the second they started to show? It was not all Daisy’s and rainbows then by any means.
All of this is true. Often women are in the work force because families need their earnings. Even career women would probably like to take a few years off to be with their very young children, but often families need the moms to work.

Many years ago women could not teach if they were married, though men could. Later, they had to leave teaching when they got pregnant. Now they get some leave, which starts only after the baby is born.

I've heard otherwise.


And just looking at the flood of characters that are pouring into this nation I can see with my own eyes that the people our bureaucrats are signing off on are such a negative to the country that one can only conclude that those bureaucrats do in fact hate this country.

Pretty sure the “puke inducing” reference was in regard to the flowery perception some people have of the “good old days”, not the actual role of housewife. The poster you are scolding knows the importance of parenting.

Your agenda is noted, however.

I did read every girl does it differently. Some rely on gifts or “donations”, while others charge a per visit fee. I read there are more straight up escorts on there now too since Backpage was shut down. I don’t think there’s as much shame in earning money through sex today for young people either. There were not many beautiful college girl strippers back in the day, now it has become more mainstream in a lot of ways.
You’ve got it right. I was an escort for seven years & even an overnighter is difficult, despite that you make a lot of money. I bolded your sentence above that is actually 2/3 of a catch phrase in the sex industry; ‘get them in, get them *** & get them out’.

Not that it’s not possible to really personally like some of your regular clients because it is. I think I must have had someone looking out for me; I had to have had the best client base in the world. I learned a lot about people & human nature but I learned the most about men.

What I learned during those years is why I quit the feminist thing but that’s not important right now.

I had an offer from one of my regulars that was almost too good to be true. He had a proposal all worked out & the amount of money was astronomical but I just couldn’t do it. It was too much of a compromise & I desired my autonomy more than the money.

Probably dodged a bullet there; his name would be immediately recognizable & talk about a train wreck! I mean, he always was unique & entertaining but geez ... the last I heard, he had two wives, was almost on the 2016 ballot & wanted by a foreign government. Whew

She advertised herself as a "sugar baby," and look where it got her.
Have you actually SEEN her profile on any dating website much less the Sugar D/B ones? Just another reason to hate City-Data...such ghouls abound!
She sure won't be dating anyone now, will she? Have a bit of heart here! Her parents/friends may also be reading what you write! SMDH in disgust...again.
