Honestly the crux of it is in the first few paragraphs and you just ignored it.

Wall of text does not equal intelligent comment. That being said, nowhere within the article did I read about white supremacy. There is a great deal said about white privilege. Your misuse of the term is a clear dog whistle, and it would appear you’ve got 140 of your canine friends panting at your feet. The article is…

why is everyone so angry and mocking of a woman who seemed to be reacting to (a) her white parent’s ill treatment of her black adopted siblings, and (b) an art teacher who told her that her art about the black experience was inappropriate because Dolezal herself was not black

It’s interesting that you assume I am a Black woman. I am not.

Uuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh she (Kara Brown) isn’t white. But nice try.

Oh, you got me there. Any woman who prefers not to have children is irresponsible and immature. That’s the only thing that could possibly be true. Continue enjoying being a mother and understanding there are millions of women who are completely different beings than you are, since you are obviously a stable person…

Knock it off. I work with homeless youth (direct service, outreach, program management), and have for many years, in an incredible agency that serves the whole homeless population in my area. It is high burnout work that most people can’t handle for more than a couple of years, and there are a disproportionately high…

My mom always told me, “beware a convert.” They’re always incredibly fanatical because they believe they’ve rationally chosen the thing that you’ve always just had or believed. Except in this case, the thing she thinks she knows more about is OTHER PEOPLE’S ACTUAL LIVED IDENTITIES!!!! It’s so gallingly bonkers I don’t…

So you squeezed out some spawn, big fucking deal. Take your participation medal and go home.

For some of us, it’s not about “earning” anything; it’s about enjoying our lives.

Some of my close friends and family are adopted as well, and I stand by my original post.

As someone about to do IVF in May for unexplained infertility, thank you for saying this. You’re entirely right. My doctor had the audacity to ask if I’d “considered adoption,” and I just wanted to sneer, “Oh, adoption? What’s that? I’ve never heard of that before!” Like, seriously, you jackasses. If we wanted to…

I had to have a hysterectomy when I was 37 (I’m 39 now) and every one thought I would be grieving for the children I couldn’t have, but I was mainly scared of what would happen to my body and my fear I would die on the operating table. Waking up and realizing I never had to have a period again or worry about being…

I had the Essure procedure when I was 35 (outpatient sterilization, no surgery), and I dealt with the same thing. Constantly being asked if I was SURE, because it couldn’t be undone. One of the nurses even asked me, “But what if you fall in love? Sometimes women think they don’t want kids, but then they fall in love,…

Could we also deep six the myth that all CF people roll around in their buckets of money? Many of us feel we aren’t financially solvent enough for kids.

Yeah, my comment was originally much more...strong in its language, but I decided to go with a more mild tone. Really, it would be horrible to send this to a woman trying to have a baby.

I’m 41 and engaged. I’ve always gotten questions and comments about my lack of children but now that i’m engage it has most certainly increased. Even friends who wouldn’t usually go there can’t help themselves now, because now I have a man to provide me with that baby. What they don’t get is is still don’t really want…

I just turned 39 last week, and next week I am scheduled to have my tubes removed. I cannot fucking wait! The doctor called today to do another questionnaire and I was asked for probably the 500 millionth time since I started the process whether I am 100% sure I want to do this. Whether I had any anxiety. Yeah I…

Hm...I don’t know. I think this kind of article might hurt your friend’s feelings, since she obviously wants children very badly but can’t have them.

I’m in my early 30s and I’ve been married for 12 years. It’s interesting how it’s almost like I’m not treated like a full adult by my family or even some friends because I don’t have kids. I’m still referred to as “a kid” by some family and it’s like everyone is still waiting for me to take the full plunge to…
