And student loans and healthcare and transportation

Who tf is upvoting this? It's highly unlikely this person has the acreage, time, equipment, and knowledge to grow all their own food.

Even if they did, it's not a real solution to the vast majority of people.

So what's the narrative, I can't keep up.

Women are too picky and only want the top whatever percent of men? It seems like I'm always hearing how hard it is for men to date/get laid.

Sounds to me like if women end up single, it's probably on purpose.

I've def seen studies that single women are happier in general than married women.

These guys are always upset about women not working. Or upset that women working means they want a partner in life instead of relying on men for food and shelter.

Or they're upset at the possibility of women needing alimony after spending their entire marriage not working while catering to their man's every need

Or upset that they have to pay child support to the person with primary custody of said children (and probably doesn't have great career prospects after being a housewife).

They live in some delusional fantasy land where women live to serve men, but aren't at all concerned with their own well being when their men decide to ditch them.

They just want to self select out of any possibility of a relationship so they can blame women for them not getting any.

And tbf, women as a whole are better off without these guys trying to date them.

Religion/MAGA?

Religious folk aren't shy to admit they don't want people (usually their women) to become "too worldly". That's code for educated

Right? It's a super fun and very funny movie. Knee jerk reactions to a movie about Barbie tells you all you need to know about where the person gets all their opinions fed to them from

I think it's a cautionary tale against forcing women to have kids.

We need access to birth control, healthcare (including abortion), sex education, and quality education.

These horrible things cannot be hidden, just like war images shouldn't be hidden. This is reality and we can't turn a blind eye. We have to address real shit that happens in the real world to learn from it and get better. Or at least face the reality of the things we force people into.

Grocery shopping and food prep is always an option. Cheaper and healthier too.

If you have time to browse Lemmy, you got time to throw some shit in an air fryer/insta pot/slow cooker.

Jesus, it's like they want you to order online from a third party instead of paying them.

The argument I keep seeing against fast food being too expensive is "use the app! It's cheaper". Fuck that. I bought frozen junk food and an air fryer. McDonald's can keep their 15$ meals*

*Disclaimer that I don't actually know how much a meal is these days, but I know it's gone way up. Also, I do still buy from McD when I need to shit out a hangover. Sue me.
