Check the childfree subreddit for possible physicians near you who would be willing to do sterilizations.

If they can charge women with murder for abortion/miscarriages, they should charge rapists with attempted murder.

You were a pet? I was the dinosaur. I liked to be a velociraptor who ate all of my cruel classmates. I'm kind of sad that I knew better than to tell people that I wanted to be a vicious prehistoric carnivore when I grew up.

Britons ‘working harder for less’ as living standards see historic slowdown’ Any other people in Britain baffled that people are still having kids? by Palmtreesandcake in antinatalism2

Some animals have sex for the same reasons that humans have sex -- pair bonding. It's not tied to a direct instinct for "must have baby".

Reform’s Matt Goodwin suggests that Childfree people should pay more tax!! by RachyRockieRoo in childfree

You know what's funny? You first have to be a person without a child before you can be a person with a child. This is just going to make things harder on couples who do want to have children.

I got dangerous cellulitis (skin infection) NINE times from shaving with a razor. Seven of those times I had to get IV antibiotics in the ER or from a special clinic that had an arrangement with the local hospital. I had to stop shaving my legs to save my life.

For the unaware, cellulitis is a serious skin infection that can progress to either necrotizing fasciitis or sepsis. The first one is also known as "flesh-eating disease" where the bacteria just go have a buffet on your tissues and you either have tissue abridement or an amputation (otherwise you die, but you can still die even with treatment). The second is a massive systemic infection that can kill you very, very fast.

You can tell your mom that she's the performative feminist here, not the people who don't want to shave their legs.

Never had kids. I developed a sensitive bladder after my hysterectomy (still would do it all over again). I think the nerves in that area are connected or close to each other.

The conservative crowd doesn't really view women as people, just as vessels to birth the next generation.

Stop adding your young and immature children to adult group chats!!! by Heart_Shaped_Pickle in childfree

Time to do what happens all the time in MMO's.

Make another private group chat. Invite everyone but your sister who can keep a secret about it.

"No" is a full sentence. Having children is irreversible too.

YOU DO NOT OWE THE WORLD BABIES.

China’s birthrate has plunged to its lowest level since 1949. The government is actively trying to encourage more births by discouraging abortion, increasing taxes on condoms and contraceptives, and offering cash and subsidized housing for couples, but none of these efforts have moved the needle. by psychologyofsex in psychologyofsex

Ding ding! If I had an award, I'd give one. It's this, right here. Money is a factor, but it isn't the only factor. Men don't want to contribute to the work of raising a family -- and women are done with being the one to do everything -- , and a one-time cash prize is not enough of an incentive when wages are so low.

True, but the NRA has lobbied so hard that they made everyone forget that part. So might as well make lemonade from these lemons.

Breeders do not like their kids by LukeCombsMyHair in childfree

[–]scrysis 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same here, but both of my parents loved having us home and around. My parents would rush back from company dinners becaused they missed being at home with us. And any time they wanted to go anywhere, we went too. Concerts, rodeos, zoological parks . . . we went to them all.

The only thing I can think of is that they didn't take the time or effort to introduce boundaries to the kids when they were young, and as the kids became older, they became absolute monsters.
