Honestly, I love that my wife is a childless cat lady. It makes everything cheaper and easier. My life is better because I don't have kids, and I'm happy that we made that choice together as rational adults and that we were able to agree that this is the best path for us.
Anyone who chooses to have kids based on their values and circumstances is totally cool, whatever, as long as the kids aren't being abused or neglected, of course. That's your option and I respect it - someone has to have 'em.
But if you don't think people are capable of making the choice not to have kids and that it makes them sociopaths to not have kids, I'm pretty sure you're just an authoritarian who either hates women or has a breeding fetish. Maybe both.
Considering the sheer strain on the body pregnancy and birth have, I feel like being a mysoginist would automatically qualify one for a breeding fetish

Her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, her running mate,
But is he her running mate though?
I caught that too, and was going to make a comment saying I caught that too.
I guess we'll never know!

The big question touching a nerve this election: "Can my husband find out who I am voting for?"
That's one of those questions I feel like, if you find yourself asking it, you should probably get out of that marriage. (I know easier said than done)
Honestly. As a guy who is lefty (and bi, but mostly dates women). The dating scene has been way easier these past 5 or so years.
The political male-female divide means that right wing women, and left wing men, are far more “in demand” among heterosexual people. (queer people are majoritarily leftwing so it matters less there.)
Peter Thiel is really suffering though... and we can celebrate that.
I hate that guy so fucking much. It really disenchanted me from NZ that they literally sold him citizenship.

The fact that people put up with partners that make them wonder this is not great.
It's not ideal. Alas, people change, and sometimes you realize you're stuck in situations where bailing would cause undue hardship to your kids, so you try to make it work.
Many marriages are still fundamentally financial arrangements. Living together is cheaper, especially with kids. And when you own half of each other's stuff (particularly when that stuff is real estate or retirement or cars) decoupling isn't simple.

How about my wife?
Nobody can know who you voted for in the booth unless you tell them. Just that you voted. Ballots are unsigned and you place it in the box (supervised, but folded and unexamined) yourself.

Imagine how it has come down to this.
I salute the women, minorities, and all folks who have decency and do the right thing during this and all other elections. Let's all please be sure to vote.
