My mother at 65, me 30, revealed to me she thought her thyroid cancer was from all the times my dad choked her...lets play the silly little game of what "feminism" is and split the hair 50 ways on "modern"... Don't get me wrong on your 13 years. Good on ya...I just hope this hyper Christianized version seeking to spin "feminism" one way is very surreal to me (literally can't stand talking to the christian right). Maybe its just the two party dualism way of talking about things that adds to all the miscommunication by my upbringing. I WILL ALWAYS be a Feminist, and Ill let whatever version christian control freaks lie any and every way they want. Feminism wouldn't need to be a thing if your sky god didn't stop them from voting, getting a job, considered their reproduction, considered that some men are abusive, or have similar rights, be able to THINK for themselves. Jesus had no problem telling my mom to stick around...in fact, my broken nose at 7 (chewed some lipstick up, while urinating I got punched across the bathroom), broken ribs at 14 (talked back on being grounded to my room for 3 months), hundreds maybe thousands of belt bruises later....you and your sky super power friend...promised my mom an "eternal family", because she stuck through it all. Insanity.

Why in the heck would you offer women at age 21 free IVF! That is not the point here….. The process of IVF is cruel, there are many embryos that are created through the process one is picked and the rest are thrown away… life being thrown away. Similar to how we should accept the way God made our bodies male or female, the same way we should accept if we can or cannot have children. Then we pray to God and ask Him to gift us with children. IVF is NOT the answer.

My mother is a very successful doctor and I always felt her very present in my life. When I was seven she moved to Spain (we lived in south america) to do her masters while I stayed with my dad. They are happily married today and I think having such a positive and fun relationship with my dad really impacted my confidence and how I relate to men and seeing my mom so succesful in life and her carreer really shaped me as well. You can have a carreer (one that you are passionate about-not like a boring job) and be a great mother. And dads are I would argue even more important in today's world than before.

the reason its radical today is because of the usual lack of commitment that is present early and hence what ends up being a quick divorce, but Brett is an exception because shes already cemented her career instead of being in the initial stages of building it.

It's a skill you need to practice and hone. I try to do it, but sometimes I still fail and just end up nodding my head as if I knew all along--most of the time this ends up fine, but occasionally I come out looking like a dumbass because I didn't suss out the meaning through contextual clues.

The irony is that if you have the courage to do this often, you actually become more and more competent, which builds your confidence and courage even further.

[@clairegresswell]

Like Luke says, not only will you become more competent, but knowledgeable too. The key is to not worry about what others will think of you. I'm very naive but recognise it really is absolutely fine "not to know" & appreciate the opportunity to learn - if it's important to me, it stays with me. It's also very valuable in the workplace, especially if you are customer facing 😊

Ive been a first responder my entire career, now I work 1 24 hour shift a month, it’s a total reset for me and my husband and baby have “boys weekend” as he calls it. They love it. My husband and I joined the local volunteer fire department together and they’ve created roles for me that allows me to have my baby with me and I only respond when my husband is home, it totally works. I still get to do what I love without ever compromising my baby’s needs. Also, marriage is the best thing ever. Everyone told us the first year is really hard, but we just had tons of fun and joy. Even through pregnancy and the newborn stage.

@@fourliltadpoles I wish I could have been a SAHM... I honestly hate feminism. If I had been born before that, I honestly believe I would have had a better life. I'm very meek and submissive and because of youth traumas, I'm a very nervous and fearful person as well. (which, in that time, my parents wouldn't have screwed up everything either so those traumas likely wouldn't exist) I don't function well enough for a normal job. So I'm on wellfare, which society naturally probably hates me for. I'm ashamed of it myself. I work on voluntary basis in the local library, but of course most people don't see that as "working" and I understand... they have a lot more patience with me, they don't get angry at me when I make mistakes, they don't put pressure on me and I don't have a lot of responsibility. The tasks are a lot more simple too. I know it's not comparable to a real job, but I really do what I can. But I'm not happy at all. I'm 33, a virgin and never had a relationship before. I don't expect a man to want to be with me... I definitely don't blame men. But it's sad. I'm often suicidal. If I didn't have my dog, I would have ended things a long time ago already. My first dog died two months ago. She had been my angel for 5 years. One of my brothers stayed over at my apartment and checked on me every single hour to make sure I wasn't doing anything stupid. Thankfully a few days after, the vet that had tried to save my dog told me about a dog that had lost his owner around the same time and she felt he was meant to be for me. He had no one else to take him. I immediately felt sympathy for him and also felt a connection so I agreed to meet him and well, you can guess the rest. He's the only one keeping me going. Knowing that he relies on me, that I have to take care of him. But yeah... I often wonder what my life could have been like in a different society than today.

Good for you! You probably heard this a lot, but time flys by so fast and littles get big so fast. Enjoy the time you have. Our kids have been a lot of stress with different issues, but I don't regret any of them and it's tough for me seeing our latest baby get big (1 year old now). They are so awesome. Watching them grow and seeing who they become. We are so thrilled with our children. And your marriage probably has some issues with a baby in the mix. Every baby has stressed my marriage, anyway. But we work on getting connected again and it's been 9 years and still going. God has helped us through a ton. Health, financial, and emotional issues. It's been wild. And it's been fun! There are so many amazing memories. Good luck!!!

Both of my grandmother's were married and had their first child by 20 years old. My grandmother on my dad's side. Was married and was pregnant by 19 years old . She had six kids, five survived to adulthood. When her kids started to get old enough to start to take care of themselves. She went back to school, to not only get an education, but have a job. As woman and a mother. She got into aero space industry. Where she worked on making circuit boards for the defense industry. My grandmother before she retired in her mid sixties. She was in charge of the quality/control for circuit boards. Those circuit boards went into F15s, F16s, and the F117 stealth fighter. My grandmother on my mom's side. Had 15 kids. My grandfather on my mom's side not only worked for the railroad, but also worked on the farm on his days off. All of my aunts and uncles on my mom's side worked on the farm. They learned what hard work was at a very young age.

well duh, that's why it's radial, at the moment people require more time to work themselves out such that a 22 years today, won't be the same person when they are 32, hence marrying someone that early comes with a real risk that the person you married won't be the same person in a few years.

I got married at 22 - everyone told me it wouldn't last, that I was too young to possibly know what I wanted in a relationship. I'm now 30 and we are stronger and happier than ever, and my marriage has survived so many things that other people get divorced over, while many of our friends from college are on their second and third marriages. What I've learned & found in my own personal experience is that it's not the age that matters, it's the intention. If you get married with the intention of growing together & staying together & being willing to face life's challenges as a team, you have a much higher chance of success than the people who get married merely based on the honeymoon phase/lovey dovey feeling.

Chris, I loved your questions! I’ve always wondered about the day-to-day stuff. I also appreciate that, when an idea was discussed by either of you, a concrete example was usually given to make the idea tangible. This interview’s down-to-earth communication style and topics made it approachable, and listening sure made folding laundry more enjoyable. My (homeschooled) high school year old daughter is not on social media or KZbin, but she does LOVE listening to Brett. Her show, though it does have some language, has served as excellent fodder for mother-daughter discussion. It is also a great way for her to learn about cultural trends without being thrown into the middle of them. Brett’s commentary has helped her think deeply about her life and the culture around her. I am thankful for her show. Thanks for the excellent interview!

Not too late, but it'll be hard to find someone good who's not snatched up yet. Plus if you want kids you'd biologically need a younger woman. There's a lot of career girls who hit their thirties and realize they want a family. Find a church or routine social function that you're drawn to and find a thirty-something who's also drawn there, and you can bond over your commonalities and shared future goals. They might be divorced or with kids already, but that's a compromise you may have to make at your age, and there are still good women who have that past. My parents got married in their mid thirties. Still going strong decades later with four kids. There's hope should you choose to act on it.

Do not allow social media. Also, start pointing out now how people will take 30 different pics and put the best one on it.

I think having conversations about real life and its struggles age appropriately is necessary. For instance, when my kids were toddlers on and they wanted toys from the store, I would say no, not today and they would say, because I need a job? Yes baby, that is why. We can’t get everything we want and explaining gently why. I show my boys articles where people who post stuff when they were teenagers and they were crucified as adults later on and lost jobs. We also talk about the studies and how it is addictive and how it literally changes their brains. I also am no longer on social media and my husband is not really on it.

We all married early when I was young. I was one of a close group of students. A boy I met when we were both 19 married at 22. At 25 and you were on the shelf. Many of that gang of students only two broke up, the seven of us left all finished growing up together, holidayed together from time to time and remained happy in our slow move to maturity, middle age then retirement. They were innocent days compared with today. I am not saying put the clock back at all but I am saying that maybe our rush to mature might not be the best for everybody.

My parents got married right out of high school and they’re the best example of unwavering love that I’ve seen in my life. 36 years later now. My lil sis got married to her high school sweetheart last month at 20 and I have zero doubts in them both. Idk man, young love works and marriage is the thing that turns a child into a proper adult.

I was looking for a husband at 22. I was ready. About to finish my degree and so I didn't see a point to wait. I was actively looking to settle down. Finding a secure, stable, loyal and confident guy was the hard part, but he showed up when I was 28 finally. Married 16 years. I gave up my career and started over a new one i could do from home for him and the family we wanted to build. Never EVER regretted it.
