Sounds like a great way to ensure that conservatives are the only ones having kids. This is just liberal women organizing their own extinction.
The other option is to have daughters with increasingly fewer freedoms than us. Fuck that noise.
Yup. I want kids, but I'm leaning towards not having kids due to, well... gestures broadly
Why the fuck would I want to inflict this world on a child?
Wouldn't this make it even worse? This is basically ensure that an ever greater % of people grow up right wing, so that Republicans can stay in power longer with more extreme ideas
women are more than baby incubating machines, holy shit
I didn't say they were. I certainly believe that a woman can do whatever she wants with her body, and if some women choose not to have children, that's their right, as far as I'm concerned. But, the fact of the matter is, if women aren't having children, before too long there won't be any more people. It's really as simple as that.
sorry but I find that a bit hard to believe when your previous comment is basically saying that women should breed to ensure the survival of their ideology
Why? Two things can be true at once. I can believe that a woman can do whatever she wants with her body, while also acknowledging that if liberal women stop having kids, before too long there aren't going to be very many liberals.
Unless you think my saying that is some form of coercion. But that would be silly because my words can't force a woman to do anything. My words aren't taking away any woman's agency, especially since I'm not necessarily advocating for anything. You assumed I was, not that's not my problem.
You’re getting downvoted but it’s the logical end.
Only if you assume a person can't possibly have different political views from their parents'. It's certainly more difficult, I'll give you that, but it does happen.
While parents certainly have an influence on their children's ideologies and political leanings, it isn't deterministic. Those children do still have agency, and external factors such as education (which yes, I know is under attack) and urbanization matter. Or even just simple youthful rebelliousness.
Regardless, I wouldn't advocate left-leaning people to have more kids in some ill-advised attempt at a reproductive arms race. Among other issues, we are still staring in the face of environmental collapse.
I wouldn't count on spontaneous liberal epiphanies and teenage rebellion to preserve the liberal hegemony.
I'm not necessarily advocating for anything. If you don't want to have kids, don't have kids. I'm certainly not going to mourn the death of liberalism, but I'm not thrilled about Conservativism taking its place as the dominant ideology.
Have you not been paying attention to practically every progressive issue in the last decade? Pretty sure the people actually making decisions about what gets promoted on social media aren't your friends.
