When I was an undergrad, I saw a woman on the train with a button on her backpack that said âa woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycleâ. I remember completely disagreeing with that. This move toward dissolving the family, or saying that we don't need each other and we could just be these totally individualized, autonomous beings with no conncetion to family, with no connection to our history, I reject that idea. I think we're all connected to something greater. I guess that's what makes me a conservative.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:pyrk6u4objn2vpqb7knaqz73/bafkreidxy5ru35la4fumihpfhfffsyjw4mjg5ombppscilmidhzg5kwnei@jpeg)
