The highlight for me is coming up with some weird pseudoscience justification for why it’s okay to hit your kids.

    Does anyone else feel like we are setting up to a near future where people who choose not to have kids are seriously discriminated against?

      It’s already here. I was sterilized (I don’t want kids, have a SEVERE genetic disability that I’d passn on, can’t afford my own house, like to sleep in, enjoy traveling, think the world is overpopulated enough, etc) and get attacked by men and women anytime I mention it.

      I’ve apparently

      • “destroyed my body”
      • “Fucked up the only reason women exist”
      • “Chosen to die alone”
      • “Failed my country and family”
      • “Made a selfish decision”
      • “Chosen to be a slut instead of a mom”
      • “Become useless to any man”

      The list goes on. If I change my mind, I’ll adopt. There’s nearly 400,000 children in the US foster care system and that number has nearly DOUBLED since Roe v Wade…
