    Look at men’s bodies! They have prostates capable of being stimulated to climax. God designed men for the magnificent job of bottoming and what could be more beautiful than a man orgasming while getting railed up the ass?

          You guys have expendable income?

          I can’t complain too much, because I usually end each month with a couple hundred in pocket money, but one of the primary reasons I don’t have kids is cause there’s no way in hell I’m going to afford it. The $200ish a month that I waste on weed and video games are not going to afford diapers and daycare.

            Yeah, it’s not really that much, but it’s precisely for that reason that I know after paying for my own necessities, I can’t afford mini-mes. And let’s not even get started on the emotional baggage I picked up in childhood that keeps me convinced to this day it’s best to just not perpetuate a negative cycle my family seems stuck in.

        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.

      And if you do want children and are fulfilled living a life dedicated to making and raising them, you’re also still valid.

      In fact, that would be an accomplishment, while simply existing isn’t. But this planet got an overpopulation problem, so if all you wanna do is continue simply and unimportantly existing while also not procreating, I’d say, go ahead.

            Believe me, I’m all for using religious imagery when it’s appropriate for getting the point across. However, the whole point of OP’s statement is lost if it’s not made clear that religion itself is the primary source of this evil. Otherwise, “It’s always the Devil who tries to convince everyone that he speaks for God,” could just as easily mean “my god is right and yours is the devil.”

        If you look her up you will see that this is one of her more tame takes unfortunately. At least this is not about her views on women’s place in marriage or the rights a husband supposedly has to their wives body, regardless of consent. I can’t help but feel a little sad for her though. From her recounting of her life it sounds like she married a man she didn’t love because that’s what she was supposed to do. After over a decade of miserable marriage she broke and saw it as her duty to be servile in all things to a man she was never really attracted to and convinced herself that happiness is to live that submissive life in deference to a man in all things. If it was the story of someone who got out and found a life outside those oppressive beliefs it would be a cautionary tale, but she sees it as the recipe for a good biblical life.

        No, it makes it zero disgusting. It’s a person making a passionate calling. She simply calls for others to follow their steps, she’s a woman and a mother, and believes everything she says, and is probably happy and fulfilled and is wishing that to others.

        You seem to be triggered af by literally everything and can’t see when someone’s heart is in the right place regardless of whether you agree with them or not.

        Maybe that snowflake term your older generation used was correct. Cuz, frankly, you guys act like a bunch of rebellious teenagers. Kinda cringe.

      I mean, unironically… from an evolutionary pov, yeah kind of. I don’t know specifics about how hands evolved, but knuckles seem to be shaped a certain way for reasons. I imagine big, boney knuckles was a trait that got successfully passed down due to its usefulness.

      I am not an evolutionary biologist, so I could be wrong. Evolution is weird and counterintuitive sometimes.

        Hands are fragile, they were created to hold tools. Like a stone. Stones are for hitting, not your poor fragile hands.

        If you look at how Gorillas kind of walk around on their fists, it definitely makes sense that there’s some evolutionary benefit to the knuckle shape. It doesn’t have to be related to hitting things either. It’s easiest to support yourself with a straight wrist, like if you’re holding a branch, vs putting your palm flat is a lot more stress on your wrist.

        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.

            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.

    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.
