    1. I feel bad for Riley Gaines.

      Honestly if it wasnt for Lia Thomas in that race she would have… *checks notes* ….still finished 5th…

      Its just not fair!!

    2. We are living with people that just have no type of ability to think it seems, because what the hell is this

    3. hubby’s llc has no website but does have a facebook page.

      looks like they’ve done 3 jobs.

      guess they’re living off riley’s mom points and also maga grifting

      You can be a mom and have a job, Riley. 

      Also, rubbing it in the face of a woman that isn’t a mother that you are and are more important than she is, is disgusting and smug.

      Its lame that this failed athlete can make her career on misgendering people but I am not allowed to misgender her here.

      It would be funny if everyone thought SHE was the transgender person in the swimming scandal instead of Lia Thomas. That would be some hilarious misinformation if MAGA psychos targeted her instead of Lia Thomas.

      Then maybe she should stay off X and be a mom.

      Sure seems like raising her kid is a part time thing with all the jaw flapping she does on right wing media.

    7. So she supports income supports for stay at home moms, right? And social services to ensure SAHMs can leave if they or their children are being abused?

    8. I get the sentiment here – “being a mom” feels like a cop-out from having to produce economic value in society.

      …But, society tying our worth to our economic output is the real problem here. Raising children is a legitimate occupation, and capitalism effectively punishes people who prioritize it over the rat race. Plenty of cash-strapped families (thinking single mothers, but also possibly true for many others) are forced to choose between focusing on spending quality time with family and bending over backwards to support them financially.

      AOC may have inadvertently walked into the “bootstraps” narrative on this one.

      Just thinking about the Bill Burr bit on this “I HAVE THE MOST DIFFICULT JOB ON THE PLANET!”

      Good for her. Not everyone wants to be a trad wife though.

      They say they’re “pushing back” against woke or whatever, but I say there’s a big difference between seeing commercials with two dudes kissing and literally removing every choice from people so they’re forced into your way of life. Especially if that way of life is based on a twisted iteration of religious dogma that someone may or may not believe.

      It’s too bad that Gaines supports political ideals that don’t promote livable wages for working families so moms can enjoy the luxuries of not working.

      Back on planet earth… those same people call that shit socialism.

      Well, you can get fired or laid off from a job. I haven’t seen a mother had that happen yet, even if their child gets killed due to their incompetence as a mother. Does she have to RTO as well? Who is her employer? Do they match her 401k investments?

      Without sounding like an asshole, it doesn’t sound like she has a job, it sounds like she fucked around and found out, literally. She’s dealing with the repercussions of fucking without protection. That’s not a job, that’s consequences. If she’s getting paid for fucking, she’s just a bareback hooker. If I’m reading this right.
      I know a lot of women who are mothers and able to hold down employment. I don’t know how they manage, but they do. I also think it’s stupid that that is what is needed in one of the wealthiest societies on the planet due to capitalist greed. Is being a mother hard work? I’d say it is without a doubt. But hard work doesn’t have the same definition as having a job or employment. It’s like saying I’m a stay at home firefighter because I shut off my stove when I’m done using it… that’s not the definition of a firefighter.

    13. While I agree that being a parent is difficult and stressful. It is not a job, it’s a responsibility,

    14. juiceboxedhero on

      She shouldn’t even have a platform. She’s a fucking loser who peaked at a swim meet she lost.

    15. There’s a long standing misunderstanding and distain between SAHM and so called “working” moms.

      EVERY mom is a “working” woman. Some get a salary and benefits? Some have to rely on family to support them while they raise kids.

      But using that distinction to dis each other? Is unhelpful, as it doesn’t help anyone raise their kids. Just guilt trips them about being a bad parent… either for not earning $$$ or for not spending as much time one on one with the kids.

      Our society has prioritized $$ over people for so long it’s not even funny.

      I’d absolutely love to see and live in a society that prioritizes family relationships, healthy kids, Good nutrition and government by good sense and consensus.

      It appears to me that AOC is trying her best to get those things for everyone.

      It appears to me that Ms Gaines is trying to increase her own worth by distaining everyone who would help her. It’s not her most persuasive argument, given her angst and reliance on fomenting hate rather than cooperation.

    16. Lmao you know Gaines doesn’t have a real argument (or job) when she drops the “ummm aCtUaLlY I’m a mom!!”

    17. I had two kids and was a SAHM for eight years. It wasn’t a “job”. I was hard work, but I wasn’t compensated for it by an employer.

      And she seems like she thinks she is somehow superior for having kids vs….being a US Representative.

    18. I am a parent. I have a job. I absolutely LOVE the days I get to take off from work to be a ‘stay at home parent’. holy shit, I’m tired of hearing how it’s harder than a real job.

      Yes, it IS difficult. but so many people do that and another job.

      Single Mom’s in the workforce are some of the most driven, burning at both ends people I’ve ever met. Mom’s in general will absolutely hold shit together with sheer will and verbal duct tape, the only difference being a single mother generally means having to be availablr for the kiddos at all times and a lot of jobs or schedules just don’t accomodate adequately for an employee’s IRL obligations, yet expect them to be able to put everything aside for ‘staffing emergencies’.

      Gaines, you grift for men who *prey* on baby girls! I don’t understand your position AT ALL!

      If “mom” is your job, you should be fired for ineptitude.

    21. ChaosFinalForm on

      Why do moms think that being a mom makes them so special? Look around for a sec. Reproducing is like the least special and unique thing you could possibly do.

      Reminds me of a coversation I had on a cruise. The woman at the table next to me was chatting me up and said, very casually, “No one wants to work these days!”

      Naturally, I asked what industry she works in.

      “Oh, I homeschooled our children. So its like I went to high school four times. So I’m… retired?”

      Her husband had the biggest shit-eating grin on his face. He was a pilot, fwiw.

      The father of Riley Gaines’ precious baby girl is her *illegal immigrant* husband. Why has he not been deported?

      If you want to be a parent that’s great. If you don’t want to be a parent that’s also great. However, I hate this mentality that being a parent is the highest calling for a human being and those who choose not to be a parent are less than. Folks like Gaines act like giving birth makes them a superior person. Anyone can make a baby. That doesn’t make you unique or special.
