I mean shit, there is misinterpreting, and then there is willful misinterpreting.

Seems like you people wanted me to have a fucking draconian view that I didn't even come close to stating just so you'd have someone to spit some hate at.

Relax.

You answered "why is the divorce rate so high?" with "because birth control pills." Reading beyond that to guess that you're calling the concept of safe, non-reproductive sex a threat to marital stability (with an obvious focus on how women fit into that equation, given that the stakes for infidelity are so much higher for women than men without contraception) is pretty reasonable, especially where your efforts to clarify haven't done anything to suggest that that isn't what you mean.

This is, of course, without taking into account that any answer to "why is the divorce rate so high?" other than "it isn't" is factually incorrect, as demonstrated by post #2.

It must really suck having such a dim view of people that you automatically just to assume the worst of anything someone says that you don't understand.

Shit you all made me sad for you with all your negativity. That's not why I came here today damn it, and it too early to start drinking.

Then how are you trying to relate the advent of effective birth control to the divorce rate? Specifically in the context of "this is a consequence that should have been properly considered before releasing the product."

Rough Monday Jen? That Monday thru Friday grind really just getting to you?

I get it. If I had to spend a third of my entire life working for other people I'd be pretty cranky all the time too.

You ever consider that maybe you're just upset and looking for a bad guy?

this is certainly a tactic

not one that works but a tactic nonetheless lol

We changed the ways people have relationships without changing the ways we teach people to have relationships. Birth control pills started up in the 50s, right before the highest spike we ever saw in divorce rates during the 60s. Correlation doesnt prove causation, but you would have to be willfully blind not to see any connection.

Boys and girls aren't often taught to deal with the very real jealousies that many experience in a more-

What does birth control have to do with jealousies? I know you said you didn't want to finish but how does it correlate?

I didn't finish that thought, and I'm not going to. I don't wanna talk to adjl, and if I'm talking to you it's not going to be about this, it's going to be about your earlier outburst. What do you have to say for yourself young lady?

I think you have a loose definition of "outburst" and "anger" that only a therapist can help you with.

You could always log out. Only reason not to block me is because you actually want my attention.

Well you got it big boy!

Whisky is never coming back, he'd just get destroyed by people posting his thirsty reddit comments

Yes, you said that already. You continue to dance around what you're actually saying, while getting upset when people follow through to the obvious conclusion that you're saying "birth control made cheating easier." Why is that?

You snipped off the most relevant part of that post where I stopped mid thought and realized that talking to you is boring

Did you expect me to comment on a sentence you chose not to finish?

I'm just remarking on the cringosity of you snipping off the part where I said you were boring me in the hopes that... I would continue to talk to you? I don't know.

I mean, that was obviously a lie, given that you continue to respond to me. Why wouldn't I ignore it?

Moreover, this is a public discussion, not a personal conversation. You want to dip out of a discussion point you raised? Go for it. Other people can continue to discuss it among themselves for as long as they feel it continues to generate discussion. You're not needed for any of that.

Didnt no fault divorce start in the 60s? Because if so, that was probably the cause of the spike
