There is a faction in both parties that want to get rid of disability benefits for disabled citizens, disabled workers, and disabled veterans in order to teach young men the value of being responsible; women aren’t responsible.

Veterans are irresponsible moochers to these folks. Image
“One great, and valid, complaint about Social Security is that it is paternalistic: … it commits the twin transgressions of forcing some people to support others and making the beneficiaries the servile dependents of the state” ().fee.org/articles/is-so…
“[I]n providing old-age, survivors, and disability benefits, it usurps the individual’s responsibility to make prudent provision for his old age or disability and for the well-being of dependent family members who would suffer financially if he died” ().fee.org/articles/is-so…
“… In short, Social Security encourages them to behave less like prudent, future-conscious, responsible adults and more like feckless, irresponsible, improvident children” ().fee.org/articles/is-so…
“A similar and equally demanding observation can be made in regards to the [Veterans Disability Compensation] program, for it too is described as ‘paternal’ in its practices” (, p. 470). digitalcommons.pepperdine.edu/cgi/viewconten…Image
“Why is it, then, that the definition of both Social Security and [Veterans Disability Compensation] disability has changed, becoming less stringent over time” (, p. 470)? digitalcommons.pepperdine.edu/cgi/viewconten…Image
“Why is it that [Veterans Disability Compensation] disability benefits are initially based on incremental determinations which look not to an actual inability to function in the workplace, but to what a hypothetical ‘average man’ is unable to do”(, p. 470)? digitalcommons.pepperdine.edu/cgi/viewconten…Image
“Why is it that one’s actual ability to work is accorded little weight when assessing [Veterans Disability Compensation] ‘disability’” (, p. 470)? digitalcommons.pepperdine.edu/cgi/viewconten…Image
“Have we, in a rush to meet a perceived growing need, sacrificed objectivity in Veterans’ disability determinations? In Social Security disability decision-making” (, p. 470)? digitalcommons.pepperdine.edu/cgi/viewconten…Image

@growing_daniel The simple solution to the fertility crisis is to decrease female education which increases fertility as “[a] negative correlation is most clearly seen between different levels of female education and the total fertility rate … in a population” ().weforum.org/stories/2015/1…
@growing_daniel Likewise, “[w]omen’s wage employment is negatively correlated with total fertility rates” ().

Decrease women’s employment outside of the agricultural sector and thereby increase the total fertility of a population.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC82…
@growing_daniel "[H]eterosexual couples were especially likely to marry if the man had high earnings. … [A]mong heterosexual couples, earnings between partners became more unequal as the couples transitioned from cohabitation to marriage" (, p. 5).web.stanford.edu/~mrosenfe/Rose…

@RealDianeYap “X is exactly what is responsible for almost every instance of Y.”

That would be true if every member of X caused (or “is responsible for”) “almost every instance of Y.”

When X refers to men and Y is violence, it is false as this causation relationship is very limited in scope. Image
@RealDianeYap Let’s simplify—there are 4 demographic groups: “A,” “B,” “C,” “D.”
(1.) C∈A, but C is a minority of A.
(2.) D∈A, but if a person is a member of D that person is not a member of C; D≠C; and D∉C.
(3.) C commits most of the violence against B.
(4.) D wants to protect B from C.
@RealDianeYap If “A” is all men (or men, generally), if “B” is women, if “C” is violent men, and if “D” is nonviolent men.

It is be false to say to the nonviolent men that the nonviolent men “are responsible” for the violence against women. The nonviolent had nothing to do with the violence.

@OlaussenEdel @smm560 @SocialSecurity ➡️ @OlaussenEdel’s source: “If you currently reside in the United States and plan to apply for work authorization from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), you will also need a Social Security Number (SSN) to allow employers to report your earnings to the U.S. government.” Image
@OlaussenEdel @smm560 @SocialSecurity To get a Social Security number, a noncitizen is “required to submit… a current document issued by the Department of Homeland Security… [showing] that the applicant has been …permitt[ed] … to work in the United States…” (see 20 C.F.R. § 422.107 ()).ssa.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/…
@OlaussenEdel @smm560 @SocialSecurity Your source: “If [the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services] approves your application to work in the U.S. and you completed the section on the application to request an SSN card, then USCIS will send SSA the data we need to issue your SSN card” (). secure.ssa.gov/apps10/public/…Image

@OlaussenEdel @smm560 @SocialSecurity Your source says noncitizen, not illegal alien (or equivalent legal term).

There are legal resident aliens who are legally permitted to work in the United States of America 🇺🇸 and who are issued Social Security numbers to account for social security benefits earned in America. Image
@OlaussenEdel @smm560 @SocialSecurity Illegal aliens are NOT eligible for benefits.

See 20 C.F.R. §§  416.202(b), 422.107 (ssa.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/… | ssa.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/…).

@BrassVon @FoucaultFanatic @Oneiorosgrip @threadreaderapp @PhilMitchell83 @SocialSecurity Actually, the economic value is worth less than $1,620/month and it has to be worth less than that or stay-at-home wives would be considered performing substantial gainful activity and thereby ineligible for disability benefits administered by the Social Security Administration.
@BrassVon @FoucaultFanatic @Oneiorosgrip @threadreaderapp @PhilMitchell83 @SocialSecurity The Social Security Administration doesn't generally consider "household tasks" and "self-care" to be substantial gainful activity (even where one is getting in-kind payment like living rent-free). Social Security Ruling 83-33; POMS § DI 10501.001; 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1572, 416.972.
@BrassVon @FoucaultFanatic @Oneiorosgrip @threadreaderapp @PhilMitchell83 @SocialSecurity Arguably, "household tasks" and "self-care" don't involve "doing significant physical or mental activities." See, SSR 83-33 (ssa.gov/OP_Home/ruling…); POMS §DI 10501.001 (secure.ssa.gov/poms.NSF/lnx/0…); 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1572 (ssa.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/…), 416.972 (ssa.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/…).

@Oneiorosgrip @FoucaultFanatic @PhilMitchell83 Should someone tell her the (formerly feminist-approved) scientific solution to the incel problem?

One that would make a certain turd-flinging monkey grin.
