The fact that "Turning Point USA’s Young Women’s Leadership Summit" is even a thing means that this timeline is irredeemably fucked.

"you are playing wife without him really having to play husband."

You could maybe tell him to respect you and do the things you want him to do (i.e. "play the husband") and dump him if he doesn't?

You know, I'd be willing to live and have sex just the way Allie Beth Stuckey wants us all to if it would end war, hunger, homelessness, injustice, etc. But since it won't, I'm off to have some (not so) irresponsible but definitely perverted sex!

These people, I swear. The projection just drips off them like foul sweat.

I like cows.

My husband and I have discussed this matter in great deal. We decided to divorce and hook up again just to piss off the right. We're going to live in sin, have premarital hoochie koochies, and fall asleep next to each other in THE SAME BED.

Not in that order. We're old. 🙂💜

Because of course there were no problems throughout the course of history because people just never had premarital sex.

And calling a woman "cow" is so outdated. Did it never occur to her that women get the benefit of premarital sex without having to end up with a husband?

Her argument implies she has never enjoyed sex. Which is sad.

I wouldn't be here without premarital sex.

Try saying THAT in the 60s.

I wouldn't be, either. My parents got married in May '62 and I was born in Nov '62. Either they had premarital sex or I was the biggest (8 lbs) three-months-premature baby in the history of the world.

Hahaha!

My daughter found out it took 9+ months to grow a baby. And about the whole birth weight thing.

(Her father and I were married in June; she was born in November - 8 lbs 6 oz.)

I came home from work one day to find her on the couch with my wedding album open to the invitation page.

But what if I don't have enough room in my home for a cow? Huh, Allie? What then?

Ta, Robyn. Allie Beth can go fuck herself, within or without the bonds of marriage.

Let's not forget the fine Republicans as Mothers for Threeways, Matt Gaetz and the Mann Act and all the fine grifters with an "R" after their name, Paradise could be achieved if only there were no Republicans.

Has she ever considered that marriage might be about more than sex?

She's probably praying it's just about icky poo poo sex and not actual emotions. 🙂💜

The Trump boys have 6 marriages between them. Guess they need that advice more than the rest of us.

"Plus, you are giving him all of the milk without having to buy the cow"

I'm 60 years old, it's interesting to hear an argument my grandfather made (b. 1895) to me when I was 10 coming out of the mouth of a WOMAN half MY age

If you know how to roller skate, you can teach your kids to roller skate--and even roller skate with your kids!--even if you don't go to the roller rink and roller skate by yourself/with your adult friends.

it's just like sticking them on a bike and hoping they don't fall off, i guess. anyway, any person who is so annoyed by virtually everything in the universe that they can't even go outside ought to either go live in a cave, or . . . well, i won't say what else.

Way to totally miss the point that Fran Lebowitz was making. She is saying that people like the religious right need to learn to ignore the things they don't like or stay in the house so they don't see those things.
