Reminder that just because you don’t have children, doesn’t mean you have to achieve a certain level of career or academia. You’re still valid. I’m still valid…
I’ve done my part to make the world a better place by not having kids, and I’m just cruising along.
Do you have a certificate saying that?
Hi-no-kids-five!
Reminder that you don’t have to do anything at all in life, and these who day otherwise are wrong.
In fact I strive to do as little as possible. I only work to pay the bills. If I could luck upon a comfortable enough nest egg I would quit working immediately and just play games the rest of my life (video & board, solo and with friends/family).
Hell, I may end up contributing more to society that way since I enjoy dabbling in video game design but don’t have enough time to actually work towards anything I could release. If I had time, maybe I’d actually create something for a wider audience rather than whatever minor contribution I have at work.
Well, one thing you should do in life is read the text you’ve written and checking for errors.
I don’t think “valid” is a proper word for someone’s life. You don’t have to be validated by anyone, you don’t own anyone anything. Do what you yourself see fit for this one-time adventure.
I always like to remind people that their ancestors survived as fishermen and farmers and peasants, you aren’t a failure if you don’t become the president or the greatest person in your field or whatever.
Look at your body, people! Mouth, stomach, and intestines! God created you to produce shit!
Look at your bodies, women! An internal inguinal canal less likely to cause a hernia, lower center of gravity, higher body fat, and less body hair for easier cleanup. God created you for spending long hours in the coal mines!
But men’s long ass nosehair makes for natural filters against the dust in the mines! Clearly men are better suited for the mines!
But look at how small and dexterous the children are, able to squeeze and clamber through the tunnels. And look at what they play all day: Minecraft. Clearly the children are best suited, as they yearn for the mines.
And yet it’s the children who yearn for the mines.
FYI If you don’t have any connective tissue between your breasts, ovaries and womb you might have a problem. Your doctor should check you for vitamin deficiency
It’s always the Devil who tries to convince everyone that he speaks for God.
I’d remove the religious implications and say “it’s always those who are most convinced they have a monopoly on Truth who are most dehumanizing to the out-group”
I like the way I put it. Way easier to put on a bumper sticker.
Fair point, but using ambiguous religious language to convey the dangers of religion seems a bit open to misinterpretation, imo.
It’s always the religious who ruin everything ever.
It’s always the people who are most obsessed with us reproducing who also work the hardest to make sure there isn’t any future for our children.
Another possible housewife and incubator ruined by BIG ACADEMIA.
Serious question.
Are u people advocating for humanity just dying off? Why not have kids? That’s normal::: spoiler spoiler
I think they’re advocating that women can choose for themselves what kind of person to be, and the fact their bodies are capable of gestating new humans doesn’t obligate them to do so.
It’s sort of like how the fact a man’s body may be capable of entertaining others by dressing their penis up in a tiny coat and hat doesn’t mean we should bully an entire gender into making that the purpose of their existence, nor does it mean we’re advocating for a world without sharp dressed dicks.
Let people live their lives based on who they are, not the abilities of their genitals.
Noone has to do anything.
But there seems to be a sustained campaign against having kids.
Imo This is just fighting against the natural way of life.Noone has to do anything.
The original tweet essentially said that all women have a mission from God to use their bodies to make babies. At the very least it’s a value judgment on how women live their lives.
There seems to be a sustained campaign against having kids.
I have never encountered this. There is absolutely a sustained campaign for bodily autonomy, and for the acceptance of people who choose not to reproduce; but I haven’t encountered anyone talking like the original tweet, saying women have a mission from God to not have kids or something.
This is just fighting against the natural way of life.
Here we go again with imposing judgements on people who don’t reproduce. I feel like that’s the bigger ‘sustained campaign’ in this conversation. The natural way of life changes over time, it used to be natural to die young from a bacterial infection, or to have your village sacked by marauders. We don’t need to have the same pressures to keep reproduction high as in the past. Populations are still increasing, but people are out here blaming women for not doing it faster? Just take a breath, it’s going to be okay.
Just FYI, my wife has two masters degrees and still was able to get pregnant, give birth and help raise a child with me afterward. So apparently it is possible for women to have advanced university degrees and have kids.
Incidentally, my mother also has two masters degrees, so apparently that was also possible in the 1970s without the population crashing.
Nobody says it’s impossible.
And my wife has a college degree and has no impetus to work at all.Her sister has masters and doesn’t want to work either .
Riddle me thatYou seem to think suggesting women get advanced degrees means we also think people shouldn’t have babies.
Also, you seem to be making some stupid “women don’t want to work” claim which is just nonsense.
The only question I have - why advocate childlessness? U people seem to be making claims that if woman has kids - she’s automatically a baby factory and a servant.
This is mindbigglingNope. The claim is that the tradwife is the one who thinks that.
Everyone else is saying she’s wrong.
And your stupid “women don’t want to work” implication is still stupid.
Are u denying that not all women at all want to do the day job and then take care of the kids? I’m telling u not every one at all want to do that
I have hands that can turn into fists. Does that mean I was created for hitting things?
This is your logic, woman!
Nothing wrong with being proud of giving birth to a new life. Also nothing wrong with believing that you’re more than that. It becomes a problem when people start forcing their beliefs on others.
“God created you…”
Ughhh… Find comfort in religion, fine, but let’s not go push your idea of creation and the ramifications of such on others tyvm…
Conservatives are weirdos.
agreed, some progressists as well though
“The Transformed Wife” is the worst of all the Transformers - must be a Decipticon hell bent on hating all women with brains….
If she really believes those breasts, ovaries, and wombs are so important, why was she telling women to think about things? You don’t think with breasts, ovaries, or wombs.
And what will she do when she hits menopause? How will that affect her beliefs?
Roll over and die, no other purpose
Conservative cope atm is arguing that menopause exists to aid child rearing, aka “the grandmother hypothesis”
Post-menopausal orca’s pimp out their sons. Imagine your mum being your finman.
When rapists can legally decide the mother of their child without her say in it you know shit’s fucked.
My baby lietrally could become a second Hitler for all I know. Would that be important, too?
