After looking into all the research and facts I think cloth diapering is dumb. It isn't any better for the environment. And while it is less expensive, I like to think my time and energy isn't worthless and it just isn't worth attaching a poop sprayer to my toilet, spending hours washing, re washing, air drying a bunch of diapers.
Nope. I plan on using disposables. Thanks.
The good part about cloth diapering is that if done properly the child will be potty trained by 12-15 months Vs. 3 years. Everyone in my family was cloth diapered, I was potty trained by 9 months *swells with pride*...lol
And you know this...how? I mean seriously...unless you have studies or something to back this up, it sounds like you're going off a limited number of anecdotes as opposed to actual data.
@slass42, I don't think you understand what feminism is. Because it part it is absolutely that if you, sLass want to stay home, make home-cooked meals and not drive, you, sLass can do that but I, Owl, can work and use daycare. And for the record, a lot of working moms don't do take out on the regular. Feminism just means that you don't believe men are inherently worth more than women and deserve the same rights and opportunities, if they want to pursue them. It doesn't mean you don't acknowledge actual differences between the sexes, just that those differences don't make one sex superior to the other.
Also, BTW, most 50s housewives drove...
*quote box fail* Uh, I don't think you need "studies to back it up" when everyone you know was cloth diapered and potty trained by the same time you were. I was raised in Russia and we didnt get diapers imported until mid 90's.....so I guess if you call the population of Russia a "limited number" then my argument is invalid. American's are so obsessed with "data" that they will ignore any real life examples or lessons because it's not published in a nationally publicized magazine or website.
I mean your specific set of friends or your specific neighborhood or even city is not necessarily representative of the rest of the world. But hey I do enjoy the stereotype that Americans enjoy well conducted studies and data. That's definitely better than fat and dumb.

My UO is that I dislike it when people in the majority complain about having to make accommodations for people in the minority. It doesn't suddenly turn you into a victim. You still enjoy countless more benefits in society for being the majority.
Can we parents opt out of this to make teacher's lives easier? Or does that make it worse for them?
In my district parents are allowed to opt out, but I still have to have X amount of parent contacts logged each week. X positive, X behavioral, X checking up on students who are missing days. So if a parent is to opt out, I have to call or email other parents several times a week.
I really want our school board to have to do the same thing, but call the teachers - not parents - each week. Maybe then, they would pull their asshats off.
ETA clarity.

@antoto I was just using the PP's wording - I know what feminism is. And I know not all feminists look down on SAHMs, but I have personally been looked down on by other women because I want to be a SAHM and not keep working. So.. that's my experience.
And they made those comments as self proclaimed feminists, citing feminism specifically as their reason for looking down on you?

I really have no idea how bathroom usage has anything to do with merit.
In any case, your fear of trans people using the bathroom is transphobic. You'll have to keep spouting more unpopular opinions to see if the other labels fit.
@BerkeBaby , my comment was referring to school aged children, not grown adults. At that age, if a child feels uncomfortable using the bathroom for their specific sex, then they should have access to a unisex bathroom. That was my point.

I still think that silly. Would you also advocate for a lesbian bathroom? Also you would need a bathroom for mean girls because we can't have mean girls bringing down nice girls self esteem. And then there's the cutters and the anorexics... Shit, public schools better get more funding soon so we can build all these damn bathrooms.

Maybe we should just make sure that all the facilities, aside from sinks, have stalls. Then no-one 'should' feel uncomfortable using any bathroom.

Couldn't a child that feels uncomfortable sharing a bathroom with a transgendered child just use a unisex bathroom? Children grow into adults. I think it would be good to teach them acceptance in the real world where all kinds of people exist. And I think we don't give kids enough credit - they tend to be far more accepting than many adults and it is often adults that make big deals out of what are non-issues to children.

People who have actually done/said something to lose my respect (being hateful, ignorant, mean) no longer get my respect.
I'm all about equality but women and men are not equal. We can obviously physically do things they cant and vice versa. In an office setting yes the genders should receive equal pay...but if we're laying railroad tracks I'd definitely expect a man to make more considering his physical ability exceeds mine. I think we've lost some traditional values along the super feminist road too. Girls consider acting like men being equal, when sometimes its just plain trashy. I'm definitely the 50s housewife-dont work-dont drive type and Im honestly upset that I no longer have the cookie cutter option. I'd rather stay home and make sure my kids and husband are happy and completely taken care than use daycares and order take out. My friend is a yoga teacher/vegan/super feminist so anytime i post something on FB about how silly feminists are being (on one subject or another) she gets highly offended.
Being a feminist doesn't mean you have to put your kids in daycare and eat takeout. And it doesn't mean you can't be a SAHM. You can do either. It means that you can choose whatever it is that YOU chose to do, and each woman has the freedom and ability to choose for herself.

Wait... other than urinals in boys bathrooms every single toilet does have a stall around it... were you of the belief that they didn't?
My UO is that I am not interested in these debates at all at this moment. Instead, I'm riding cloud nine from a chocolate chip frappe and the fact that jury duty was super short today. And I'm love titting a bunch of shit.
Or, my UO is that I do not like the donation-sites that people can set up accounts on like GoFundMe. Like... you want me to pay for your Christmas because you have 6 kids and no husband? Or you want me to pay for your kid's school because their father is out of the picture now? Or for your trip across the country? Or your honeymoon? Your wedding? I get the ones for schools and groups (sports, music, etc) to go to events that their district won't pay for, but... come on. When did it become the social norm to ask for "donations" because we want to do things in life?
I'm all about equality but women and men are not equal. We can obviously physically do things they cant and vice versa.

I honesty feel that we could do a world of good by making all bathrooms unisex. Instead of a male/female restroom, have one unisex and one single-stall lockable "family" room. May husband went to a college with a high LGBT community and all restrooms were unisex including in the dorms.
On the topic of feminism, just a short time ago there were not even restrooms for women in public. If you wanted to go somewhere you had to be escorted, by a male relative. If you had an issue with your husbands actions, well tough shit honey, you had near zero options (if you wanted to remain respectable, which you did). If you were a poor woman, you worked, long and hard for a fraction of a man's pay. Only well off women didnt work. If you had land coming to you through family, it went to your husband. *You* didn't own anything. Nor could you vote in people to change things.
The false ideal of the perfect 50s house wife/life is a fantasy. It was a facade that we have glamorized and painted with this bizarre film to make it look perfect. If you were middle class, in a happy marriage, and white, it might have been nice but not perfect. But if you were poor or a minority, the 50s were a time of serious strife. To pretend that it was a "better time" is to ignore all of their struggles. Which is ridiculous.
Feminism isn't hating men or wanting to be men, feminism is wanting everyone to have the same opportunities and chances in life. The same accommodation's and compensations.
The fact that you are even able to voice that you are anti feminist is because previous generations of feminists fought and died for that right.
Yes, it might. BUT the customer isn't always right. It is not my fault your child is lazy/lies to you/didn't speak up when asked if they understood or needed help. PC-ness now says that 'yes, as an educator it if YOUR JOB to shove this knowledge down everyones throat. Regardless of their personal desire or work ethic.'

Girl, I am a high school teacher and I have absolutely not idea what you are talking about.
I'm assuming you are serious, and not being sarcastic: Maybe Idaho or my school districts have always been off the mark, but I have had several principals stand up at staff meetings and say something along the lines of 'our job is about customer service. Even if you call/contact the parents and they come in and discuss how their child isn't preforming, it is your responisbility to make sure that the student passes.'

No, I understand that all toilets have stalls. I was merely suggesting that we put stalls around the urinals, so then no one is terribly uncomfortable using either bathroom.

Hmm, that's interesting. I find that in my life, I can have respect for and get along with all different types of people who feel differently about all sorts of things. For instance, I don't and won't disrespect anyone who thinks trans people are free to use whatever restroom they wish. I don't agree, but that doesn't merit disrespect, in my book. It's strange to me how aggressive and disrespectful people can be when defending their beliefs against someone they don't even know. Like, for real, you're being ugly and judgmental to people you don't know, at all. You assume that they're evil and not worthy of basic human respect just because they disagree with you about one thing. It's unfortunate and not the kind of thinking or treatment that prompts growth or unity. Rather, it promotes dissension and hostility.

I also like being PC. And being a feminist.

That article talks about elimination communication, which is not the same as true toilet training.

I really want our school board to have to do the same thing, but call the teachers - not parents - each week. Maybe then, they would pull their asshats off.

In any case, your fear of trans people using the bathroom is transphobic. You'll have to keep spouting more unpopular opinions to see if the other labels fit.
PC-ness now says that 'yes, as an educator it if YOUR JOB to shove this knowledge down everyones throat. Regardless of their personal desire or work ethic.' So I personally have to deal with PC which has nothing to do with me being a 'racist/classist/sexist/an asshole' it has to do with your child not being willing to help themselves.

I felt compelled to leave this here:
Now, I need to leave this thread before I get myself in trouble.
Girl, I am a high school teacher and I have absolutely not idea what you are talking about.

Instead, I'm riding cloud nine from a chocolate chip frappe and the fact that jury duty was super short today.
And I'm love titting a bunch of shit.
Or, my UO is that I do not like the donation-sites that people can set up accounts on like GoFundMe. Like... you want me to pay for your Christmas because you have 6 kids and no husband? Or you want me to pay for your kid's school because their father is out of the picture now? Or for your trip across the country? Or your honeymoon? Your wedding?
I get the ones for schools and groups (sports, music, etc) to go to events that their district won't pay for, but... come on. When did it become the social norm to ask for "donations" because we want to do things in life?

May husband went to a college with a high LGBT community and all restrooms were unisex including in the dorms.
Jeez....
On the topic of feminism, just a short time ago there were not even restrooms for women in public. If you wanted to go somewhere you had to be escorted, by a male relative. If you had an issue with your husbands actions, well tough shit honey, you had near zero options (if you wanted to remain respectable, which you did). If you were a poor woman, you worked, long and hard for a fraction of a man's pay. Only well off women didnt work. If you had land coming to you through family, it went to your husband. *You* didn't own anything. Nor could you vote in people to change things.
The false ideal of the perfect 50s house wife/life is a fantasy. It was a facade that we have glamorized and painted with this bizarre film to make it look perfect. If you were middle class, in a happy marriage, and white, it might have been nice but not perfect. But if you were poor or a minority, the 50s were a time of serious strife. To pretend that it was a "better time" is to ignore all of their struggles. Which is ridiculous.
Feminism isn't hating men or wanting to be men, feminism is wanting everyone to have the same opportunities and chances in life. The same accommodation's and compensations.
The fact that you are even able to voice that you are anti feminist is because previous generations of feminists fought and died for that right.
Maybe Idaho or my school districts have always been off the mark, but I have had several principals stand up at staff meetings and say something along the lines of 'our job is about customer service. Even if you call/contact the parents and they come in and discuss how their child isn't preforming, it is your responisbility to make sure that the student passes.'

Second - What on Earth does passing students who don't deserve it have literally anything to do with anything in this thread right now.
