Wait, I have kids? Since when? And you're blaming my hypothetical kids on you being a spinster? I think your attitude plays a part in that.

My kids? What about your kids? I care about them.

If expressing a truly held opinion and then rebutting challenges to that opinion is trolling, I live under a bridge.

You just summarized the patriarchy's rationale for not hiring women. Congrats.

Oh, I'm well aware your perspective isn't unique. And we're all worse for it. Be done.

Wait, if age doesn't matter, why would you being a teenager be a negative?

"Because I don't really care about someone else's child unless they are related/important to me in some manner."

Take that world!

Nope. Lots of great and wonderfully insightful people make it to thirty and choose not to have kids. In fact, I may be one of them.

Who says I have kids?

"[B]y the time I hit 30."

Ok.

A lack of interest in anything other than yourself is generally considered a negative attribute. So I would presume I'm not the only one that holds this opinion. Perhaps you can take a poll? It might give you some greater perspective.

What a legitimately strange comment. So you're bragging about taking advantage of people's consideration by pretending that you have something more important in your life than happy hour. Really?

Yup.

Your life is more important than what? All kids? Or just a certain number of kids? How many is that?

So things that aren't yours are not worthy of interest? Huh. Between you and me, I think that makes you a bad person.

True dat. And you're a better person for it.

Yourwelcomeverymuch. But my kids? What about your kids?

When I used "your," I was referring to MaryDell's life. So, personal. And thus, I am so very genuine.
