It was also new- syphilis had not been in Europe prior to the discovery of the new world.

Your daily reminder that the Catholic Church does not waste exorcist’s time with cases that haven’t been signed off on by a shrink as ‘yes, is possessed, not just crazy’- and every case of a psychiatrist claiming to have seen exorcism work is because he(and this is normally a man) was contracted by the Catholic Church to do this.

Impregnating slaves and then committing infanticide was the first moral crusade of the Christian church; it was acceptable in Rome and Greece, but strongly opposed by both Christianity and Judaism. This is well recorded as a controversy in the christianization of Scandinavia.

People are very good at not noticing things that are taboo. It’s the same thing every time- Scott just lives in a bubble where stigmatizing homosexuality is taboo.

Have you considered hanging out with families that have kids who are a bit older? Little kids love teenagers and tweens and will prefer to bother them instead. And girls don't really need to be coaxed to not complain about it.

The Quebecois were pretty close for a while, and they were 'normal for the nineteenth century' religious rather than the literal Amish.

Indeed, most women would never fall for that scam.

if the man wants to divorce for a younger, more fertile woman to have more kids then that's fine
I'm always down for pushback against our resident misogynists not wanting to uphold the male end of the historic social contract. But I haven't actually heard one of them say that.

Both you and @omw_68 are wrong, for the simple reason that non-Israeli Jews have very low fertility. On the other hand, the nonzionism hypothesis- that Israeli society is set up so that everyone is trying to imitate a higher fertility group, even if indirectly- passes the immediate smell test.

The Byzantine Catholic belt in Europe has mostly replacement-ish fertility with generally educated women and high female LFPR- and some of the lowest fertility rates in the world on their borders. Conservative social norms and high importance of religion work, even when it isn't Jews.

Blacks haven't been overrepresented in combat troops since Vietnam- black volunteers overwhelmingly pick safe behind the line MOSes that teach practical civilian job skills. Doorkickers are mostly white with a few hispanics and oddball groups.

Uh, the English national team doesn't look more diverse than England itself; Bellingham is the only black player I can name. Granted he's a genuine star, but so is Kane. Today's semifinal was genuinely France's Africans vs Spain's Africans, but England vs Argentina is pretty much Northern European Whites vs Italian Whites.

Home births(or non-hospital birthing centers, which I suspect this actually was) aren't that dangerous. They're fairly common in the US(which Canada, whether or not it likes it, is enough of a suburb of that the same should apply)- certainly common enough that if they were particularly dangerous, this would be well known and called attention to by major medical bodies.

when was the last time you've seen a child with Down's
A couple of weeks ago. Some of us are actually pro-life.

There was the gay dads making content mocking their baby who was asking for "mama",
How is this much different from the career women whose babies cry when handed back from the nanny, other than those epic girlbosses having the good sense not to post tiktoks mocking it?
I am morally opposed to surrogacy- but you prove elsewise as well.

For me, thé confusion was ‘Dallas stadium’ as opposed to ‘cowboys stadium’(or ‘Jerry world’ as most people call it). Nobody used ATT stadium in casual reference.

Plenty of Christian women who are educated and intelligent consider themselves fortunate to be able to stay home with their children rather than doing their duty, because this is a very common female preference. There is probably a very strong difference in the attitudes of Christian men on the subject, though- in real life thé man is typically the partner more opposed to the woman staying home.

Has the west tried restrictions on men, either? This could easily be the west’s preference for the carrot over the stick.

Interestingly, there are real differences in behavior between Catholic and Protestant countries, even when these are very similar countries(eg Germany and Austria), and Catholics having a less individualistic conception of their relationship with God is a very well supported mechanism.

You personally can have an extra kid and then rub him in the faces of childless friends- statistically, babies are contagious.

But the essential problem with the ‘it’s true in wokespeak’ is that the wokespeak term doesn’t have a definition. There’s a (hilarious)movie about it. The sentence ‘can I bum a fag’ has different meanings in American and British English- thé key word being meaning, one of those meanings being rather unfortunate to express to outlaw bikers. But the alternate meaning is also well defined, and while outlaw bikers might not let you borrow a cig they would understand the concept. In contrast thé wokespeak sentence ‘Caitlin Jenner is a woman’ doesn’t express a concept, as far as anyone can tell- it means as much as my 14 month old saying… no one’s quite sure.

Republicans run for local politics with law degrees, seminary degrees, and MDs all the time- although being a veteran or small business owner or cop is an equally viable alternative.

Because universal early childcare is a fiendishly difficult math problem.
The Israelites definitely knew about STDs, Leviticus contains specific regulations for dealing with what was probably gonorrhea.
