Procreation is not a neutral act, it feeds both patriarchy and capitalism, strengthening the very systems that oppress and exploit us. In this world filled of inequality, environmental collapse and systemic violence, choosing not to reproduce becomes an act of resistance. Refusing to bring new life into this broken society is not only a rejection of oppressive institutions, but also a deeply moral stance. Fight back. Choose non reproduction.
why is privacy so eroded. I get treated like a nutcase if I say no, I don't want strange companies taking pictures of my home and putting them online for maps or whatever. I don't want to be in the background of your tiktok, and I think it's weirder for you to assume I'm okay with it than it is for me to politely ask you to refilm it so my face isn't in the frame. I don't enjoy handing my employer a list of every online account I have and feeling under surveillance when I'm just shit posting or sharing pictures of my cats or garden harvest. I don't want to hear your private calls on speaker on the bus, esp when the person on the line doesn't know you're broadcasting their words to strangers. I don't want an algorithm guessing what will piss me off the most so I spend more time online, engaging with shit I don't want to see or hear out of outrage. I don't want any of this. it's total ass.
Women who protect dangerous men are almost as dangerous as the men they protect. There are women who know their husbands/brothers/fathers have committed sex crimes against women, and stay silent in the presence of other women. They don’t warn other women of their male relatives’ predatory behavior, allowing their pervy male relatives to get close to women who don’t know any better.
Really fucked with me learning that when Michel Foucault first arrived at UC Berkeley his friends tried to warn him not to participate in the local gay bathhouse scene due to the risk of AIDS, but that he did it anyway because he thought that AIDS was just a social construct. And when he inevitably got infected with AIDS as a result of unprotected sex he refused treatment insisting it was a pulmonary infection, and he didn't get diagnosed until his symptoms were so bad that he was forcibly hospitalised.
"AIDS is just a social construct" sounds like the sort of thing you would make up as a parody of the sort of stupid shit a post-modernist would believe. But the most famous post-modernist in history believed it, and ended up dying as a result of that belief. And given how respected he was, other men probably also died as a result of believing what he was saying. I get that they didn't know as much about AIDS in 1983 as we do today, but it been around for a few years already, so one of the supposedly smartest men on the planet should have had enough evidence to be able to overturn the hypothesis that viruses are just social constructs.
you can't say you don't respect someone's opinions because they post big titty anime girl hentai anymore. The woke mob cancels you, they call you a puritan, etc. When they're clearly an unserious individual
Is having a son really worth the risk? I don’t think so. Go 4B, don’t contribute to the cycle of suffering, be unwilling to birth an oppressor or a victim. We don’t need any more babies in this world, whether they be boys or girls.
Dating a broke man is stupid, marrying a broke man is even dumber and having children with a broke man is child abuse.
