i don’t know who needs to hear this today but you’re not entitled to poor womens organs because you want a baby and can’t make one yourself
ever since i was a little girl i’ve always known i’m a big fan of alone time
-Anaïs Nin, 1939
i’m actually so sick of seeing posts that completely uncritically glorify women’s addictions to utterly depraved written pornography
This will sound really harsh, but I have a hard time empathising with people who are mentally ill and are also actively planning to have children. "I can control my mental illness," is simply wild, because if you truly could, you wouldn't be mentally ill. Children are far more observant than parents give credit for. Logging on will give you innumerable examples of teens-to-adults who are talking about how their parents had unresolved traumas and mental illnesses that they unintentionally exposed their children to. "I'm sure they tried their best, but growing up was rough," is the best case scenario I hear from these children when they've grown up.
"It's not that the women don't have the capabilities to far exceed standards; it's the fact that they don't want to. Women have NO desire to rise above their limitations. Women want to be servants, women want to be sex objects, women want to be passed around.
Men really ain't doing nothing to women that women ain't asking them to do to them. *reads screenshot out loud*
Don't you ever forget that women out here got rape fantasies, and trying to act on them. You want to be used, you want to be a servant, you want to be a slave. You do not want to be deep thinkers, or problem solvers, or leaders; you want to be submissive slaves to your ideal fairy tale man that only lives in your head."
Women who protect dangerous men are almost as dangerous as the men they protect. There are women who know their husbands/brothers/fathers have committed sex crimes against women, and stay silent in the presence of other women. They don’t warn other women of their male relatives’ predatory behavior, allowing their pervy male relatives to get close to women who don’t know any better.
There’s various stripes of politicians all over the west who are clamoring for childless adults to have restrictions on their political eligibility, voting rights, and pension payments. No two days go by without some form of fearmongering article about birth rates and/or labor shortage.
Today already childless people pay more taxes for a multitude of services and institutions that will never, ever, benefit them, but pays for people whose more or less explicit motivations for reproducing often do include child benefits. Actually single and childless americans are the only population who can be taxed into poverty from their low wages. There are benefits are only available to poor Americans under 25 only if they have a child.
In my country, childless people cannot bestow an orphan pension on anyone (if they are married they cannot increase the widow/er ’s pension either) with the money they saved up, so that money goes back to the pension fund’s pool to pay off longer lived people, or the spouses and children of other deceased (I am definitely taking my pension, if it still exists, and if it’s still legal by then, in lump capital payment over monthly payments for these reasons lol)
Depending on your country’s exact statutes it may not be discrimination yet but it will be in our lifetimes. Everything is moving that way.
