Try being the working Mother whilst the Dad stays home. Not only do you have to "keep the family afloat," but you still have every household chore to do after you get home from work.

Thanks Captain Obvious.

I have never heard this rule. (I live under a rock, though.) So if I'm reading this right, you're saying that as a 24 year old it would be socially acceptable for me to date a 41 year old or a 19 year old?

Yes they are

I get the point but whenever I see this argument I think it underestimates how heavily armed the government is. Last century, governments used tanks to oppress (Soviets 1953 in Berlin and 1968 in Prague, Chinese 1989 on Tiananmen Square), nowadays they have drones and robots are under development. I don't see people having the guns to defend themselves against any of these.

Plato's philosophy didn't cause a genocide in the form of crusades. You have to admit that the comparison doesn't quite work. One thing is a guy writing about an ideal political system. He was just a guy. Another thing is a collective belief that some higher power wants you to do this or that. And before you argue with "well a genocide also happened during WWII and it was thanks to an influential guy", religion (namely German mysticism) was a big part of Nazi ideology. The common element here is people doing things because they believed it will help some cause that is bigger than themselves. Read Hannah Arendt's book The Origins of Totalitarianism, at least the section about mass society. Because I think a lot of these characteristics about people who, thanks to crowd mentality and the belief that they're doing something for a cause that is much bigger than themselves, applies to Abrahamic religions as well. And it is a dangerous mindset.
