Long and short of it with gas prices out of control, and living in the city, I’ve decided to increase my adrenaline junky risk and take the subway to court when practical. This morning while waiting at a main downtown transfer station, Park Street, I was approached by 20somethings male and female wearing Roe buttons, and other leftist nonsense, but most importantly the prestigious University across the river ID badges and WGS school identifiers.

I figured I’d play along. The first question asked was if I supported abortion, I replied, I’m born and raised Catholic and it’s against my faith and religion, as well as a sin. That’s my personal belief which is for me, I believe others are free to make their own choices. I was genuinely surprised when they accepted my answer and didn’t spew any leftist crap. They asked if I believed abortion should be outlawed, I told them I believe people have the right to choose through voting if and how they want abortion, that’s how our government works. The male said to me what about states that won’t allow abortion, I shrugged and said if that’s what the residents chose through voting it was their choice, here in Massachusetts that isn’t the issue. He seemed stumped I wasn’t fighting, and then the young lady asked me, “If you became pregnant through rape or incest, would you keep the pregnancy?” I answered I could never become pregnant. The male at this point looked like he was going to have a seizure, “you’re wrong, if you choose you can be pregnant, your assignment at birth has nothing to do with whether you can be pregnant, your adhering to an age old sexist mindset, that limits one to what one doctor decided for you at birth.” Luckily my train was approaching, “Kid, I see you go to a very Ivy League school across the Charles, and you’re in the WGS studies, but reality is I don’t have ovaries, Fallopian tubes, and a uterus, despite what you think, I can’t get pregnant.” My train arrived and I left them. Feel bad for mom and dad of those two spending six figures a year and the kid believes I can be pregnant. Wow! BTW WGS, is Women, Gender and Sexuality department.

Ha! Don’t worry about that tuition however… I’m sure they have student loans and Biden’s gonna forgive it all.

That's truly bizarre. The only leftists I've met or seen on YouTube that think "men can get pregnant" are saying that a woman identifying as a man can get pregnant. They don't believe biological males can get pregnant.




These go to eleven.

It is well worth the time you have to give to this, and perhaps ask if you need to know more about the "who, what, why and where does it end" of this issue.

These folks are not only on the crazy train, but they be driving it everywhere but the tracks.

Hell,

Why stop there?

Maybe next week they'll ask if you have ever laid or hatched an egg?

Makes about as much sense as a preggo dude.

I'm not convinced that was the case here. That individual was clearly aware he was talking to a biological male. I didn't take biology in school, but I know a male cannot get pregnant.

"If you choose, you can become pregnant."

Tell that to the many women who can't conceive but want to.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I don’t care what you identify as - you can only get pregnant if your 23rd pair chromosome are XX.

I don’t care what operations you get, if you have this pair, you are also female. Otherwise you are a male.

Thank you for the return to reality and common sense. Unfortunately, that's a trip liberals are incapable of making.

Absolutely! If I were asked to define what a "woman" is I'd say "a human with 2 X chromosomes."

After proudly paying off my modest 17k in student debt loans years ago I would love to see these idiots fear when the USA announces that you don’t pay your student debt, you go to debtors prison. All new jail for your dumb asses. Maybe then they’d wisen up and go to JC and stay in state for their bachelors. Got damn idiots go out of state, charge it all up, while not working, partying, buying i devices. Drives me nuts. That last payment was one of the most proudest moments of my life. I worked more than full time during college, 60-80 hour work weeks, busted my ass, so paying that 17k off was sweet. I was proud of being an American because I got the Pell Grant for a couple of semesters (I ended up making too much in college to keep qualifying for it and I wasn’t going to scam) and got federal loans to pay for what I couldn’t at the time. I was very proud to pay my country back. These ass hole POS want debt forgiveness. Nah, they are just happy to shift that debt to hard working American taxpayers. Fuck you, go to debtors prison you wannabe influencers! Wink

I didn't know anyone in college who had a tuition loan. Of course, that was 1955-1960 and I lived at home and went to a "streetcar college". It was a good school and turned out excellent graduates--had about 20,000 students at the time.

I payed for my college degree thru the GI Bill. I was making $752/month as an E2 under two years..Which means they deducted $100/month from my already below poverty level income to apply it towards my maybe getting a degree later…for I think one year…

Anyone that the .gov just writes off their loan and adds it to my already huge tax burden deserves a swift kick in the crotch and a boot to the head and more…

When I looked up who owes the student debt:

Graduate students borrow 37% of federal student loan dollars.
60% of undergraduate certificate recipients owe an average of $16,940 each in federal loans.
42% of associate’s degree recipients owe an average of $21,890 each in federal loans.
63% of bachelor’s degree holders owe an average of $31,790 in federal loans.
54% of master’s degree holders owe an average of $70,070 in federal loans.
45% of doctoral degree recipients owe an average of $118,360.
71% of professional degree holders owe an average of $199,540.

Keep in mind that advanced degree students have the potential for high incomes.
A Bachelor’s degree debt of $31,790 isn’t drowning in debt. Expected average yearly income is $67,860
A PhD degree comes with $128,360 average debt. The expected average income is $99,000.

Note that Only 25% of those with student loans went to graduate school—but they owe around 50% of all student debt.

Seems Biden’s “forgiveness” will benefit those that will be making the highest incomes.
