    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?

      Tried it, didn’t like it. Guess when my wife says she doesn’t want kids, I’ll just have to listen to her lest she rail me up the ass. Beauty be damned.

        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.

      I don’t think “valid” is a proper word for someone’s life. You don’t have to be validated by anyone, you don’t own anyone anything. Do what you yourself see fit for this one-time adventure.

      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.

          Fair point, but using ambiguous religious language to convey the dangers of religion seems a bit open to misinterpretation, imo.

        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.
          But there seems to be a sustained campaign against having kids.
          Imo This is just fighting against the natural way of life.

            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.

            You seem to think suggesting women get advanced degrees means we also think people shouldn’t have babies.

            Also, you seem to be making some stupid “women don’t want to work” claim which is just nonsense.

              The only question I have - why advocate childlessness? U people seem to be making claims that if woman has kids - she’s automatically a baby factory and a servant.

                Nope. The claim is that the tradwife is the one who thinks that.

                Everyone else is saying she’s wrong.

                And your stupid “women don’t want to work” implication is still stupid.

    If she really believes those breasts, ovaries, and wombs are so important, why was she telling women to think about things? You don’t think with breasts, ovaries, or wombs.

    Same argument against vegetarianism/veganism — we have teeth “designed” or evolved for eating meat, thus we should eat meat.

    …we also have brains capable of abstract reasoning, but nevermind that!
