I definitely support women’s rights and will always believe in their unfettered right to decide their own reproductive choices. I was worried when I first read this, however. If the only people having children are the fascists and their enablers, I fear the future will be even more bleak than the present. That said, this story does seem to indicate the movement is more based around not having children with Trump voters which I find completely reasonable.
Women don't want to subject their children to this world. My cousin teared up the other day because she feels so bad she had kids 10 years ago and the future is so bleak. You all do not understand us at all, do you? Climate change, anyone? Why would I birth a baby that will just drown to death in a flood?
I can understand that view, I just don’t agree with it. If we don’t believe in trying to working for a better future, no matter how bad it’s looking (holy shit is it bad rn), then I feel like we might as well line up like lemmings and walk the plank.
Women have been doing the majority of the work for a better future. Men have been creating wars and destroying progress.
I agree that women on the whole generally fall on what I would consider the right side of progress while the worst of men perpetuate the worst aspects of human society, I don’t really understand what that has to do with what we’re talking about. I already stated I unequivocally support every woman’s right to do whatever they so choose with their bodies.
The future is going to be pretty bleak with 10 billion people on the planet, too.
Nah it's cool. That's just a temporary problem.
What? Overpopulation hasnt been a worry for well over a decade now and it wont be anytime soon. We will never reach 10 billion.
Not sure what rock you've been under but global population is projected to peak at 10.3 billion in the 2080s.
Uhm... /s ?
You being downvoted makes me sad. Idiots.
Here's the /s
Maybe people will blink and see your comment for what it was.
Would be like Idiocracy, but with fascism
With an already functionally illiterate population. We're soooo much closer to that than you think.
Do you underestimate my pessimism
I'm 51, and I've never been so happy not to have kids in my life.
The fun part is that this the foundation "Idiocracy" built its world on.
That's totally erasing the born children's ability to think critically. Loads of children from that environment grow up to leave it for the left. Speaking from experience
That’s great and absolutely does happen, but it’s the exception not the rule
