It isn’t hypocritical to not romanticize disability. I grew up with a totally manageable physical disability and it still was a pain in the ass that required a lot of extra energy for my mother and I to deal with.

Jesus, you are insufferable. Hopefully you’re not going to reproduce.

I don’t care about what males do to each other. Not my problem.

The world isn’t dying people. Like, that’s so over dramatic.

Eh, I don’t need to subscribe to any faux martyrdom involving environmental erosion. I don’t want kids for purely selfish reasons: I don’t have any maternal instincts and I like being able to do what I like, when I like & how I like. It’s that simple.

You don’t have to pretend. I’m also selfish and lazy and have no inclination to change, I would be a terrible parent, and also I dislike children. It’s cool.

It kind of reminds me of the straight couples in 2008ish who said they weren’t getting married because gay people couldn’t get married. I’d guess almost all of those couples just didn’t see the point in getting married but needed an excuse at Thanksgiving.

I saw someone the other day whose sex was clearly female, but who was dressed in jeans and a baggy shirt and wearing a button that said “My pronoun is they/theirs.” And it kinda bummed me out, because there was nothing in their gender expression as I was seeing it that couldn’t have fit into being a woman. And I don’t…

You’ve never bled uncontrollably from an orifice and had abdominal cramps while trying to do a difficult physical task, have you?

Childless implies a loss. For those of us who never want children, trust me: we’re not sitting here agonizing over it. It’s no loss.

Yeaaahhh... There seems to be a sort of cult thing going on, and anyone who strays from the One True Orthodoxy will immediately be considered Other, and blanketed with hate.

Abortion is a women’s issue. You hit it on the nose - intersectionality means that we support feminist causes even if they don’t impact us personally. If an issue impacts 99% of women and very few men, it’s a women’s issue. It doesn’t make sense for us to erase that.

cisgender white women finally getting all the things we all fought

No, I won’t keep those thoughts to myself.

People are bad at self-reflection.

Are they possibly not getting the message that you absolutely can be female without being a stereotype?

Did you not notice how toys aimed at girls became “pinkified” in the last decade? Now girls think that there is something wrong with their “gender” if they do not conform to female stereotypes.

27% of teens in CA sounds high.

“A study from December of last year found that 27 percent of California teenagers reported that they were viewed as gender-nonconforming.”

Sigh. Thank you. The mistress urban legend always baffles me as well. As I said in another comment, topless and nude beaches are all over Europe. No one cares about the nipple but in the U.S.
