In all seriousness, I think it's sandwich generation stuff... raising kids in a time where very hands-on parenting is the norm, often while working a full-time job, while juggling aging parents.

Also, marital division of labor issues in two working-parent families. Many women my age (40) were raised that they could do anything and that has turned into doing everything.

I don't think parents of young children quality as "middle aged" they are younger women with different issues.

Didn't know that the middle-aged women's club had gatekeepers? Was thinking it was a group folks weren't really fighting to join, but simply had to due to dint of birth age.

That said, there are a number of women who had children when they were older so can find themselves in the sandwich set.

If we don’t get a handle on climate change - literally everything else will pale in comparison.

For me one of the biggest issues is imparting hope to the next generation while the planet is burning, western democracies have been destabilized and women’s human rights are under attack.

We are supposed to leave the world a better place for the next generation not leave our youth with insurmountable problems.

If I can’t control my own body, IDGAF what happens to the climate. If I’m forced to carry a pregnancy I don’t want, then I hope the planet becomes uninhabitable anyway. F’ everybody.

My vote - the fact that we have to keep fighting for the reproductive rights of our daughters and granddaughters. It's sick and pathetic.

Middle age women are beyond childbearing years. So why does it matter?

Because we have daughters and nieces that we care deeply about, and don't want anyone having a say over their bodies other than themselves. Abortion is healthcare.

That is their issue. Not yours.

What is the Dem misogyny?

"The progressive wing of the party has leaned in hard on taking the side of using rape and sexual assault as a weapon of political terror. "

Can you explain to me what this means? Cause as a stand alone sentence it sounds like you are saying progressives are using rape and SA as a weapon of (political) terror. Read literally that sounds like progressives are raping women, is that what you mean?


"The refusal to unequivocally condemn the documented sexual violence from Hamas and the silence of progressive women’s organizations (which are all Democrat supporters) on the issue has been extremely demoralizing."

Minimization? Like this? https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4345978-democratic-divisions-deepen-over-hamas-sexual-violence-response/#:~:text=Democrats%20have%20expressed%20strong%20criticism,on%20Israel%20%E2%80%94%20toward%20Israeli%20women.

and this? https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/14/politics/senators-resolution-condemning-hamas/index.html

So Jaypal, of whom I am not particularly a fan, saying that “I think we have to be balanced about bringing in the outrages against Palestinians,” Means she doesn't unequivocally condemn rape? Because it sounds to me like what she's really saying is "remember that Israel is being terrible too".

"The Democrats have also been leading the charge in eliminating sex-based protections and spaces for women and they seem to be openly pretending that women haven’t been terrorized for millennia because of their biology. "

We are being terrorized NOW by the GOP taking away our abortion rights. I do not care about bathrooms or prisons or even what's inside the swimteam bathing suits. I care about my daughters.

You sound like a troll. BoTh SiDeS eh?
