Up to now we have largely been in a "state of nature" wherein people generally had however many children that could survive.

Human societies have essentially had to live in a state of nature and all patriarchal models for society dealt in that reality and created societies that took the state of nature as a given reproductively.

China is the only example I know of with a truly patriachal reproduction model, wherein the state instituted a one child policy and enforced it.

But for most of the first world we now exist in a largely matriarchal model for reproduction.

Meaning (for the most part) women control reproduction in nearly the entire developed world.

Considering this reality, is there feminist writing/theory/implementation for matriarchal models based around this?

I see a lot of males talking about this stuff, but realistically men don't have the final say, meaning society almost intrinsically have to look to feminists for the answer here.

Starting anywhere else kinda puts the cart before the horse.

TLDR: Matriarchal reproductive control is already a reality in the developed world generally, what are feminist solutions for things like pension systems, school management, elder care etc. In worlds where the decision is made to have fewer children?

My friends and I had a great time playing when EA first released, but a major issue that basically made multiplayer unplayable was that battles had to be finished completely before a turn could end.

Now this was solved perfectly in humankind, you get 3 rounds of a battle, and then you must progress to the next turn, but in EL2 you had to do all 8 (iirc) rounds, and it would make each person's turn take 10 or 15 minutes.

So you end up some situations where everyone is at war with NPCs and you have 45 minutes just to tame 3 turns.

Has that been changed at all?

Very few anime have characters that actually look distinctly japanese, I would argue maybe this show, and samurai champloo, can anyone think of any others?

what do you think?

Hello, this sub isn't currently moderated and this has led to it becoming more divisive and vitriolic with time as more people have joined lately.

I reached out the mods with a message 5 days ago and have received no response, and have noticed that 2 out of the 3 current mods haven't made a comment on reddit in months.

I've been in plenty of romantic relationships, but I've only had one woman that actively spent time trying to romance me in ways that I still hold dear because it was so thoughtful and loving.

I loved tic tacs, and so she bought me a dozen tic tac boxes, and put custom labels she made by hand onto all of them with significant moments from our relationship, and little notes of affirmation about all the little things she loved about me and moments we had.

Stuff like putting a picture of us taking a nap together on the front with a note that said "It's enough just to fall asleep with you" on the back of the box.

So I'm interested in what other guys have experienced that warmed your hearts or made you swoon.

We've all heard the stories like "You're dating Rebecca? Rebecca "the train conductor" Rebecca? Rebecca the Goat Rebecca?"

I realize we see this archetype and storyline throughout media and Ive heard about it through the grapevine, but I've never really heard about the aftermath.

I know we all have pasts, no judgements, just curious as every guy I know has been cheated on or dated the promiscuous person at some point, but they all moved on

So, guys who knowingly settled down with a very promiscuous partner, how did it turn out?

Did you end up happily ever after?

I just watched the movie and loved it! It made me realize I have never seen a movie about a Woman who is actively trying to save her marriage, who succeeds, rather than being happy/accepting things are are over immediately.

There's tons of movies focused on husbands going through that situation, but this is the only one I've seen with this premise.

Are there any others since 2000?
