Just in case you needed a few different sources ^

Meanwhile, children in foster care are very likely to develop mental health issues

So how can you sit there and call me selfish for not wanting to bring more children into this world and instead help some children that would otherwise be miserable, when there is proof that my adopted children won't turn out any worse than if I were to marry a man?

Don't get me wrong, I am well aware that there are shocking statistics to show that children from fatherless homes are more likely to have issues, however, these types of fatherless homes aren't gay homes, but rather they tend to be situations where the father just left and the family is struggling to get by and dealing with more problems than just the absence of a man

That first link has "opinion" right in the name

But I'll still read

I have a brother, my bloodline will be fine. I have cousins and they have kids, my decision to not have children won't hurt my bloodline

Besides, I have a few genetic problems such as being prone to cancer that I wouldn't want to put onto a child

I read the first link, it brings up again that children not being adopted are worse off than children being adopted by a gay couple

Why should it matter? I don't want to have a child knowing I'm giving it a good chance of dying of cancer

I agree slendy

So say I'm attracted only to black people, would you say that would hurt my bloodline if I were to have mixed children?

And I'm saying that first off, the specifics don't really matter to the main point. Secondly, I don't know because getting it tested and having it on my record would hurt my chances of getting insurance

When humans are already reaching carrying capacity

A pretty high risk

a relationship should be about what both consenting people agree it is about
But yeah there should be love

^

I've liked men too romantically but I'm not sexually attracted to them

I don't know those sepcifics because like I said, getting it tested would have it on my record and make getting insurance harder

Almost everyone I know of in my family that came before me on one parent's side died of cancer

Also relationships shouldn't just be about having children. What kind of life is that, to live just to have kids and they live just to have kids who live just to have kids?

Yeah well we have 7 and a half billion and it's only going up

I don't think a few gay people are gonna hurt that

As a race or a species?

This "survival" argument is bullshit tbh because humans are already way overpopulated

Largescale and intentional reduction may be bad yes, but just me and one other woman deciding not to have children isn't going to hurt the population much and instead will allow us to help already-made children to have a better life than they otherwise would have

Most of the people I've been attracted to are people of color so

Exactly

I dont think having children is a bad idea, I personally don't want to but yeah

Yeah I'm aware that a shit ton of lgbt people have gone through traumatic experiences and that's likely a cause, hell I've been through some of that, but does that mean i should suppress and try to control the fact that I like girls? no

Why does it matter? It's a couple's individual choice if they decide they don't want to have children, it's not hurting anyone else

And that's cool, but if other people don't think so and they have the ability to live a full life without children, why are they selfish? It's their choice

that's fair, but it's not what everyone thinks

true

threatening to take a child back and basically saying "i own you" is an unhealthy way to raise a child

it should be about love, support, and help

not controlling

~~not very well experienced with this server~~

I'd say that's the role of a good parent

what does a jewish mother and father do then

oh yes duh

mornin

what's up

wut

oo ominous

oh i read that first sentence wrong

where do you live where earthquakes are that much of a concern

might as well make an underground shelter, you never know when a meteor will fall

better safe than sorry ig

heya

People still willingly ask and pay for it though

I'd feel bad for you

But I also read some of the stuff you said about women

So I have like -138% respect for you

I'll watch it later but from the looks of it it seems biased as fuck

It's stupid

First world countries are doing fine when compared to some countries in which women are property

So what should be done do you think? Make women property again?

What about all the woman who have contributed amazing things to society? If they had been focused on being barefoot in the kitchen making their husbands a sandwich what would've happened

And when I was talking to the other dude it wasn't even about that

The other dude acted like he felt entitled to sex, like women were selfish for not liking him or some shit

What if couples don't want to be sexually active? The sexual activity of a couple isn't a direct relation to happiness and you can't know for sure

LOL

Yknow as a female this makes me so fucking mad rn I'm shaking I'll come back tomorrow

Oh yes this one magazine has all the answers to how women actually feel, ignore the actual speaking female rn

Are there perhaps more reasons for that besides work and equality? Just a few?

OMG

I can't hhhhhhh

I'm too angry for logic rn and my internet sucks so I will do it tomorrow

Are you a woman who has had to deal with sexism

Irl

Cause if you aren't you wouldn't understand

If your tradition is sexism it's still sexism

Did you unironically quote the Bible as a source

Maybe some are

But you can't just assume

That all are

Even if it's true that less attractive women are more likely to have carriers, so what?

Wow pressure to contribute to society sad

How do you know

Did they just ask every single woman "are you happy" and they respond "yes because I don't have a job"

Why does it fucking matter if a woman is unattractive no one can control that, you act like it's a bad thing for a human to look a way deemed unattractive

Only UNATTRACTIVE people go against my mindset

I'm not questioning that rn

I'm asking why you think that matters

I will tomorrow but my internet sucks rn

@Doctor Anon I still wanna know why you mentioned twice that *unattractive* women are more likely to go against tradition like why does it matter

I'm not saying people here do but I'm so sick of some men thinking that women exist for them and it's a woman's job to look attractive for them ugh like no she's a human not eye candy

Can you answer me please anon

About unattractive women?

..I think you have a very very warped concept of what we women actually think

I don't consider myself a feminist but

Goddamn

It blows my mind that people actually think like this

Most women I know are happy to be pursuing careers and are only angry when they see opinions like yours because societal opinions like that threaten their equality

^

So that explains why you think the way you do

I will
