what does your having a daughter have to do with Texas, Florida, or Alabama? Don't you have a daughter wherever you live?

- ajoseps 3y agoI think re: alabama the OP is referring to the recent IVF ruling in the state: https://apnews.com/article/alabama-frozen-embryos-pause-4cf5d3139e1a6cbc62bc5ad9946cc1b8 https://apnews.com/article/alabama-frozen-embryos-pause-4cf5...
- spiderfarmer 3y agoIf you are in the US, you must look at the taliban with disdain, for how they are treating women. As a European, we look at the regimes in the states you mentioned with the same disdain. No way I would ever consider living there.
- ctrlp 3y agoHave you ever been to the US? You sound like a provincial who reads too much propaganda.
- spiderfarmer 3y agoI visited all states in the western half and it was shocking to see that the infrastructure outside of the cities is more or less comparable with the poorest parts of eastern Europe. It did not change my opinion of the US for the better.
- ctrlp 3y agoYour comment was about the treatment of women, though, not infrastructure. You probably know that Florida and Alabama are not in the western half of the US. Texas is so big it's often considered its own place, but much of Texas is considered part of the American South in culture and geography. Did you visit Texas? If so, which parts? Much of Europe can fit comfortably within the landmass of Texas, so maybe you just don't have an appreciation of the scale of the U.S. and what that means for politics, infrastructure, culture, etc... Having lived in France, Italy, and the UK for extended periods, I can say that your comments about Europe's superiority don't resonate.
- spiderfarmer 3y agoYou’re right. While the state of the infrastructure shocked me, it doesn’t say anything about the backwards policies you have in your book burning, women hating states.
