A sad joke. This is the true 'Handmaid's Tale' of today. The fiction's "forcibly assigned to produce children" is now aging females demanding 1) abortions paid in part by the public, their pregnancies so often fueled by promiscuity), and -- not or -- demanding IVF paid in part by the public, in those "later" years. And resenting the males ( females do this too ) preferring younger possible mates. Mix in hypergamy, and the "joke" is on society. It took the Bee to make it crystal clear.....
No wonder I couldn't find anything.
🤣
The Bee's a little slack though. IMO Solomon would have started off with "HE'S A BEAUTIFUL BABY!"
BTW, anyone ever wonder what the facial expressions were in that story? Because the ruling is patently absurd. For all we know, Solomon was actually testing to see which harlot caught on, who might give him a knowing look and play along.
Seems to me that if one these harlots were a real dullard, she would not have been able to recognize sarcasm or dry wit. By taking him seriously, she would have been too much of a simpleton to scheme, much less to overplay such 'convincing' details about the supposed time of the supposed incident.
If this were the case, the real mother could be identified [and determined to be not guilty] by reason of diminished capacity.
The world's first documented 'dumb blonde'? Then we can know that she must have been very beautiful as well.
A beautiful baby from a beautiful mother.
