Why women shouldn't have children

[Foxfyre]

I think people holding off ALOT longer to get married and have kids helps the nation.

My husband and I were very young when I had my first child. We were very young when I had my second. Though we were dirt poor when they were born, they went without nothing they needed despite there being absolutely no government programs of any kind to help, and we all sort of grew up together. Being poor for awhile didn't hurt any of us.

We worked our way out of poverty and squarely into the middle class by the time the kids were needing more expensive stuff and more opportunities. And we were still young and working full time when they went off to college and then began their adult lives meaning we were able to provide them with the little bit of help they needed.

And they had time to focus on building their careers, starting a family, and getting a really good start in life without having to worry about the issues with aging parents. And we could enjoy doing a lot of the same things together.

Also studies show that the younger the mother, the less likely the odds are that the child will have such issues as Down's syndrome or autism.

While emphasis on marrying a competent, responsible person and utilizing proper parenting is important and should be strongly pushed, delaying marriage and child bearing is not necessarily a good thing for people or something that should necessarily be encouraged.

Study Confirms Link between Older Maternal Age and Autism

Maternal age and autism are both on the rise--but only a small fraction of the increasing incidence can be explained by the trend toward later childbearing

Why would anyone want to?

Unfortunate your parents didn't follow your advice.

 

[HikerGuy83]

I bet I could still knock up 8 women.

Now, just how are you going to win that bet ????

China's population is on the cusp of crashing.

Is that related to their attempts to artificially control population with one child laws and things like that? I've heard a lot of awful things happened because of that.

*Having children is an outdated holdover of our evolutionary past.

Old enough to buy beer but too young to be the president.

Also it's listed on my profile.

I don't usually check profiles, but you are much younger than I'd imagined.


As my mother used to say and I have found to be so true, whether the kids were my own or with their friends........

1 kid is a kid, 2 kids are half a kid, and 3 kids is no kid at all.

Meaning the level of which they listen and behave......she never said anything about 4 or more kids, but presumably anything over 3 is the same. You've lost control of the situation.

It's too late now. The ball is rolling down the hill.

I propose to you why women should have children.
Men can't. Women are the children havers, and that's not going to change.
They are also mostly naturally the better nurturers.
Some may not be.

Didn't you know the demofks have changed nature and now men can have babies? They are truly a special organization that can transform a men into baby makers.

While we may always need a minority of people having children simply to keep the human race alive, here are some reasons why women shouldn't have children:

*Having children is an outdated holdover of our evolutionary past. In ancient times, there were far more threats to our survival and life expectancy was shorter. This is why, in the modern world, we already have fewer children than we did in ancient times.

*Having children drains time and money which can be spent on pursuits which better benefit humanity, such as acquiring wealth, becoming educated, and becoming self-actualized.

*Having children adds to the global population, which is extremely high compared to what it has been in history, and may not be sustainable.

*If poor people didn't have children, the cycle of poverty and government spending to support the children of poor people would end. If only a minority of wealthy or educated people were having children at any given time, it would eliminate poverty.

Those are some reasons I can think of off the top of my head.

Why are ReNaziKlans, who don't give a shit after a child is born, forcing women to carry a baby to term, even when that baby will die within minutes of birth?

One awful thing was that those Chinese families limited to one child wanted that child to be a son to carry on the family name. So a hugely disproportionate number of girl babies were aborted.

I just can't find any morality in that.

Not just aborted, but also murdered after birth. Literal infanticide.

You probably think that "science" means that humans are under some onus to reproduce, but that isn't the case. The desire to reproduce is just an evolutionary holder which people don't have to indulge in if they don't want to.

Prove it asshole. Legitimate mews sources. No Brainfart. No GateWayFuckNuts. No FuckedSnooze. Real legitimate news sources. Prove it asshole!!!

See?
You hate science.
This is no different than your belief something must have consciousness to be alive.

Just get off the playground, where the bullies took your ball?

Reproductive instincts is governed by the reptilian brain, not the Neocortex, which can rationalize that reproduction isn't always in one's best interest.

This is no different than your belief something must have consciousness to be alive.

Not to be "alive", but to be a person with rights, it must have consciousness.

There are plenty of things which are "alive", but aren't a person with rights. Such as sperm cells and skin cells.

Theres no reproductive issue in america. Thats the bottom line.

Unchecked reproduction leads to poverty:

We dont have unchecked, we dont have under reproduction nor over reproduction. It ebbs and fows despite all the fear mongeres wortied about the future. Theres no crisis whatsoever.

Were you a foster child/state baby?

I have spend too many moments pondering the evolution of AI consciousness.


What would it really know of life, the universe, and everything, w/o the ability to love, fall in love, or have families?


. . . just as likely a bot. Go look at some of the other ideas from this automaton.
