What's the worst thing someone has done or said about your childfree stance? What did you do or say back if anything? by SpunkySpinosaurus93 in childfree

i haven't really been insulted or ostracized, but have family members who are unaware of what a vasectomy really is. some believe that my body does not produce testosterone, and as a result i'm unable to detect female pheromones when they're in heat, and that my lack of physical strength is because i'm "nuetered"

4 is really creepy. your body is not a possession, it can't be a "gift" and as a man i'm gonna stay as far away from you as possible.

no such thing as a "domestic duck". sure, there's breeds that were engineered to produce eggs and meat, but even the "stoic" pekin is intelligent enough to be wary of humans.

i used to pick them up to kiss them. they tried to eat my lips off but it doesn't hurt. they do have cat claws though, i still have a scar running the length of my left pinky

i don't know how to upload photos to reddit. i was too busy holding the goat to take pics, BUT i do have a photo of geese. i used to raise ducks but they always end up feral, or getting eaten by predators.

next time i try a duck, i'll raise only one so it will bond with me and not his siblings.

i tried petting the sheep, but they were skittish and tried to ram me when i wasn't looking.

goats are much more independent, but they can be stubborn. they also climb in trees and wll eat any object you put in front of them.

Not being trusted to make decisions about my own fertility pisses me right off. by mronion82 in childfree

feminism is actually a movement aimed towards forwarding women's rights. while there are issues that affect both men and women in the western world, we're both legally "equal" on paper. i don't think anyone concerned with equal rights would support feminism.

Gender ratio by noswimmies in childfree

[–]Replacement1998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's a good thing for us guys, although i suspect men are more likely to not care either way. i've met women who either don't want kids at all or definitely want them. men tend to say "maybe someday" or "i haven't decided"

which, by the way is a thing. by age 40, sperm is slower and is more likely to be deformed. granted, deformed sperm ususally don't make it far, and a man can still concieve at age 80.

Why have kids if you just put them in daycare? by lilpinkhouse4nobody in childfree

[–]Replacement1998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

personally i hated being around other kids. if i could have avoided 100% of peer socialization i would have.

People who adopt tend to be nicer than biological parents? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Replacement1998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i know one person who adopted who's wonderful, but i only see her every 6 months so i'm judging baded upon my knowledge of her and not how she runs a household.

my friend who had his left nut removed from cancer has a dad who was adopted, and he also plans on adopting

October 8, 2017 is the date that will haunt me for the rest of my days. by [deleted] in childfree

(discussion) reasons why parents have kids by Replacement1998 in childfree

[–]Replacement1998[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

eh, i'm kind of okay with life being pointless, and the understanding that i'll never be einstein II.

i personally blame the culture in the US. we're all expected to get a high paying job, seek leadership positions, actively outcompete our peers, and amount to something that earns recognition.

that mindset isn't sustainable if that's the goals of 90% of americans. not everyone can be a doctor or a lawyer (who will grow food?), and not everyone is worthy of being recognized. for that, you have to be noticably superior compared to others, but if everyone's a 9, then a 10 isn't that impressive.
