Right, but ideological musings, political views, etc, belong in CWR threads. Post a manifesto or restart the user viewpoint focus series to do that. I was specifically asking about interest in AMA as relating to uncommon personal experiences.

I've been toying with trying to start a motteizean AMA series focused on unusual experiences, whether culture war related or not(but not of an ideological slant- eg 'I worked in a gun store, here's what I learned' rather than 'I believe X about gun control, here's why'- obviously both will touch on the culture war at least a little bit, but one belongs in the CWR and the other is arguably a different thing). I guess this is as good a place as any to ask for feedback/interest.

Marry her and she'll decide she wants a baby.

The real question would then be 'does this process play out before netanyahu dies of natural causes?' It's kinda obvious he isn't going anywhere.

Musk isn't personally anti-semitic or racist, he's just on a lot of drugs and mad at the political left.
Wilkes and Dunn are actual white supremacists, albeit moderate ones. I know this through my connections within the Texas republican party, both pro-Wilkes-and-Dunn and anti, too, this isn't some libbed out conspiracy theory about nonexistent racism.

Are you seriously disputing that the largest Jewish parties are Jewish supremacists?
The Arabs had exceptionally high turnout because they want the government to actually bother to police Arab-majority areas(which are gang-controlled shitholes with frightening crime rates, because the police ignore them). This is not due to Israelis just loving Arabs too much to bother enforcing the law on them, American leftists on blacks style- see the behavior of the IDF literally anywhere.

For Haredim specifically, that mandatory stupid haircut/beard combo they all have probably looks awful on someone who can't quite grow a beard yet.

Amish-Mormon-Orthodox Jew have high early marriage rates along with other religious
Ultraconservative religion tends to push average age at marriage down for men as well as women, because 'no premarital sex' is a heck of a motivator for twenty-one year old young men.

More educated women have higher marriage rates.
I'm sympathetic on a societal level to the broader goal- we do not need more BA's in psychology. But it's very obviously not the solution to this specific problem.

'Good dads only marry their daughters off to men they actually want to marry' is a trope from the literal Viking sagas, it's very old. The indulgent father who can't bring himself to marry off his daughter against her will pops up in Greek mythology multiple times, as well, usually with the daughter setting some impossible task for her suitors that, of course, the hero meets through some combination of superhuman abilities, loophole abuse, and divine assistance.

Ah, but does that track female LFPR? I believe the fifties actually represent a long term minimum of female LFPR, due to rising male incomes meaning fewer women had to work. Statistically rosie the riveter(to the extent that she existed to begin with; she's greatly exaggerated) went back to being a housewife and it was her daughters, not her, that began entering the workforce on a more permanent basis.

The 1960's were not the sexual revolution. They were when people stopped pretending the sexual revolution hadn't happened. This is sociologically very normal; now-common behavior is often theoretically taboo for a generation or two after it becomes normalized.
The real sexual revolution was with the flappers. It was all hugely controversial at the time and society made a collective decision to pretend it wasn't happening but let it go through- as it so often does.

He also said ‘people of colour’, so I suspect he was genuinely delusional in a common form of Trump derangement syndrome.

Suicides probably less than murders, but improved trauma care and a switch to smaller bullets was a big part of the declining murder rate.

Most red Americans have pistols but that’s not exactly new, and teens are much more likely to have access to the household shotgun than to a handgun or AR-15.

Firearms and youth alcohol use were more common in the fifties, not less.

The clear American consensus as long as I can remember has been that 16 is a pretty hard line for staying home alone for more than a day.

Right, but for obvious biological reasons, caring for a nine and eleven year old for extended periods of time was not the usual task for premodern teen mothers, and is very different from caring for children under five.

‘Massage therapist’ is a regulated term- at least by themselves- and they claim to be actual medical professionals- albeit that medicine is referrals from chiropractors to handle whatever crap is too woo-woo for him.
You’re thinking of masseuses.

The white-ethnic growing up experience made for decent enough literature.
I invite anybody who can make it interesting to restart it.
