Here is a close-up of the deleted tweet for those who are interested.
🤣 Apparently, the thread is too long for some of those who associate with @eminently_me5, like @thepalemoonlt (archive.ph/ZHWbP). 🤣 It appears that short attention spans are a characteristic of @eminently_me5's audience.🤣 I suppose that isn't that surprising.🤣
@eminently_me threatens folks' professional licenses who disagree with her because she can't handle that the data disagrees with her (archive.ph/Jv2lg)!
@KateRos78419369 @HoneyBadgerBite The Department of Labor gets similar numbers in their surveys.
In both surveys, when considering both paid work and unpaid domestic labor for the household, men (generally) work more hours than women consistently (whether or not there are children in the picture).
@KateRos78419369 @HoneyBadgerBite If you add up both the unpaid labor and paid labor, on average, men work more total time than women creating a #GenderedLaborGap pursuant to (as an example) the @BLS_gov's 2017 American Time Use Survey (bls.gov/news.release/a…) and @pewresearch's data (pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…).
@KateRos78419369 @HoneyBadgerBite @BLS_gov @pewresearch American Time Use Survey (with 2017 as an example) shows that women on average are not spending enough more time with their kids, doing chores, or anything else to explain women's lack of time working. On average, men just work more in America (considering both paid and unpaid).
@Stoicsense2 If you know the history, then you know why this keeps happening despite laws saying that equal or shared parenting is possible. Many of us were told lies.
What is the real purpose of child support?
Why are mothers given preferential custody orders?
@Stoicsense2 The law changed in what’s now the United Kingdom🇬🇧 (granting women custody of their kids after divorce) because of the whinging of an adulterous ex-wife () and the United States🇺🇸 soon followed with the Talfourd Act (named after the British🇬🇧 reformer).spartacus-educational.com/Wcustody39.htm
@Stoicsense2 The reason child support exists is not for the sake of the children.
Child support exists because women — unlike men — were viewed by society (including by women) to be incompetent in handling their finances and incapable of working enough to care for children by themselves.
@melJsaysso I think it is time for a history lesson.
@AaronHeikkila, @BigHeadMafia,
@vhjvh70477682, and @newboots1977, you all may find it interesting.
Mel Jones (@melJsaysso) has read this before.
@melJsaysso @AaronHeikkila @BigHeadMafia @vhjvh70477682 @newboots1977 tl;dr — the reason child support exists isn’t for the sake of the children.

@melJsaysso @AaronHeikkila @BigHeadMafia @vhjvh70477682 @newboots1977 The law in what’s now the United Kingdom🇬🇧 was changed (adopting the “tender-years doctrine”) because of the whinging of an adulterous ex-wife () and the United States📷 soon followed with the “Talfourd Act” (named after the British reformer).spartacus-educational.com/Wcustody39.htm

The Boy Scouts of America (@boyscouts) “today announced that it will rebrand to Scouting America, reflecting the organization’s ongoing commitment to welcome every youth and family in America to experience the benefits of Scouting” (), which makes sense.
While this is not the invasion of male spaces some make it out to be, this is (in an amusing way) feminists indirectly delivering a massive gut punch, if not coup-de-grâce, to the Girl Scouts of the United States America organization (@girlscouts).
Both Cub Scouts and Scouts are sex segregated.
“Family packs have both boy and girl dens that meet separately” (, p. 8).
