Reminder that just because you don’t have children, doesn’t mean you have to achieve a certain level of career or academia. You’re still valid. I’m still valid…

I’ve done my part to make the world a better place by not having kids, and I’m just cruising along.

Reminder that you don’t have to do anything at all in life, and these who day otherwise are wrong.

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.

Well, one thing you should do in life is read the text you’ve written and checking for errors.
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 months ago
Do you have a certificate saying that?
pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.
JokeDeity@lemm.ee 6 months ago
I always like to remind people that their ancestors survived as fishermen and farmers and peasants, you aren’t a failure if you don’t become the president or the greatest person in your field or whatever.
where_am_i@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
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.

Look at your bodies, women! An internal inguinal canal less likely to cause a hernia, lower center of gravity, higher body fat, and less body hair for easier cleanup. God created you for spending long hours in the coal mines!
Shou@lemmy.world 6 months ago
But men’s long ass nosehair makes for natural filters against the dust in the mines! Clearly men are better suited for the mines!
Narauko@lemmy.world 6 months ago
But look at how small and dexterous the children are, able to squeeze and clamber through the tunnels. And look at what they play all day: Minecraft. Clearly the children are best suited, as they yearn for the mines.
JokeDeity@lemm.ee 6 months ago
And yet it’s the children who yearn for the mines.

I can’t see my ovaries or womb. I guess I’ll never know my purpose of serving men and go back to living my life.
thefartographer@lemm.ee 6 months ago
A. Username checks out
B. I can help you figure out your purpose serving men! But before you can walk, you must crawl. First, you’re going to learn how to hunt men. Then how to cook men. Once you’ve mastered these two, you will spend months or years learning how to plate men. Finally, serving men. Then you’ll be ready to start your own menstaurant.Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
I would find a menstaurant (nice!) very sexist. I would eat all sexes without discrimination. As long as raised organic and free-range.

If you look her up you will see that this is one of her more tame takes unfortunately. At least this is not about her views on women’s place in marriage or the rights a husband supposedly has to their wives body, regardless of consent. I can’t help but feel a little sad for her though. From her recounting of her life it sounds like she married a man she didn’t love because that’s what she was supposed to do. After over a decade of miserable marriage she broke and saw it as her duty to be servile in all things to a man she was never really attracted to and convinced herself that happiness is to live that submissive life in deference to a man in all things. If it was the story of someone who got out and found a life outside those oppressive beliefs it would be a cautionary tale, but she sees it as the recipe for a good biblical life.
where_am_i@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
No, it makes it zero disgusting. It’s a person making a passionate calling. She simply calls for others to follow their steps, she’s a woman and a mother, and believes everything she says, and is probably happy and fulfilled and is wishing that to others.
You seem to be triggered af by literally everything and can’t see when someone’s heart is in the right place regardless of whether you agree with them or not.
Maybe that snowflake term your older generation used was correct. Cuz, frankly, you guys act like a bunch of rebellious teenagers. Kinda cringe.
Oh, I’m an atheist, feminist, child-free, I don’t have a tweeter, and where I live abortions are legal. And you’re cringe even to me.

It’s always the people who are most obsessed with us reproducing who also work the hardest to make sure there isn’t any future for our children.
Shhalahr@beehaw.org 6 months ago
Of course, reproduction without any forethought is one of the things that leads to that lack of future.
Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I have hands that can turn into fists. Does that mean I was created for hitting things?
This is your logic, woman!
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months ago
I mean, unironically… from an evolutionary pov, yeah kind of. I don’t know specifics about how hands evolved, but knuckles seem to be shaped a certain way for reasons. I imagine big, boney knuckles was a trait that got successfully passed down due to its usefulness.
django@discuss.tchncs.de 6 months ago
Hands are fragile, they were created to hold tools. Like a stone. Stones are for hitting, not your poor fragile hands.
If you use a stone, you can still play the piano or paint your favorite landscape afterwards.
dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 6 months ago
Drag has fingers that are just the right size to shove up a huge cloaca. Does this mean drag was created for the purpose of giving handjobs to dragons? Yes, yes it does. And drag is happy with drag’s purpose.
Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Kicking is our natural unarmed attack. Still a last resort compared to throwing rocks or whacking with sticks though. We evolved from ancestors who already used tools to defend themselves.
xthexder@l.sw0.com 6 months ago
If you look at how Gorillas kind of walk around on their fists, it definitely makes sense that there’s some evolutionary benefit to the knuckle shape. It doesn’t have to be related to hitting things either. It’s easiest to support yourself with a straight wrist, like if you’re holding a branch, vs putting your palm flat is a lot more stress on your wrist.

Serious question.
Are u people advocating for humanity just dying off? Why not have kids? That’s normal::: spoiler spoiler
absentbird@lemm.ee 6 months ago
I think they’re advocating that women can choose for themselves what kind of person to be, and that fact their bodies are capable of gestating children doesn’t obligate them to do so.
It’s sort of ike 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, it’s just a thing people are free to do or not do.
sweetpotato@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
What exactly did they say that made you draw this conclusion? I’m so curious
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.

Nothing wrong with being proud of giving birth to a new life. Also nothing wrong with believing that you’re more than that. It becomes a problem when people start forcing their beliefs on others.

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.
And what will she do when she hits menopause? How will that affect her beliefs?

When in Rome do as the Romans do. In highschool I wrote an abortion focused “Modest Proposal” suggesting that men be forced to donate anatomical gifts (blood, skin, organs, etc) to their progeny to equalize the physical labor of men and women in procreation. The increased gravity of such a gift is balanced by the lower liklihood of its necessity. I came at it from every angle and took the argument to its most exaggeratedly ridiculous extent; Swift would’ve been proud.
