(Week old news but didn’t see it anywhere) Russian women should wear mini-skirts more frequently to help boost the country’s birth rate, a local legislator has suggested.

    “Because of modesty, women are getting married less often,”

    How about "because of the war, women are getting married less often,” or "because of the bad economic situation, women are getting married less often,”?

    On the other hand, as a normal, breathing, warm-blooded male, I have to admit that more women wearing mini-skirts is something I would definitely not object to. Maybe not in Russia, as it is too far away, but in general…

      We can also add: “because of increased communication, women are feeling more confident about ignoring all the shitty men who can’t clear even the lowest bar.”

      Seriously, absolutely wild how low the standards are right now and how so many people still can’t hack it. Love is love, people will marry and even have kids with someone they really care for ni matter the situation but if they can’t find anyone who can handle a baseline level of respect for their personhood and autonomy, well, they certainly aren’t gunna be getting married or having kids.
