It always makes me laugh when they do this “gasp! We would never! Here are the buzzwords we think will get us out of this.” reaction. Fuck off, bros. We all know what mainstream frats* are like, and they’re garbage.

Like you, I’ve never had the desire to have children (I’m 41 and married). When nosey people (unfortunately it’s usually women, usually mothers) ask about our lack of children, I am honest. None of this “ooohhh the world is s scary place, how could I bring a baby into this world!” BS. I tell them I have never had the…

I’ve always felt pretty meh about having kids. Like I think I would be a good mom, but the thought of being pregnant scares me a little.

No one has even presented a reasonable argument. :(

This is a very comforting article to read - thanks for writing it. As a 33-year old woman in a loving and committed partnership, parenting has been on my mind frequently over the last few years. While I’ve never felt drawn to have children, I’ve considered it with a much more open mind as of late and can see the…

“Oh god! There’s a cat in that burning building!....... Ah! I know what to do!” *Throws another cat into burning building* “Now they won’t be alone.”

I actually don’t think I’ve ever related to a Jez article so hard before. I’ve been increasingly in the grip of baby fever for the last few years, and yet- climate change was always lurking in my head. Then on Nov 9,2016 I decided that going forward, before I had kids, I would need a little more certainty that there…

We adopted both our children. (I was not that interested in being pregnant or passing on my autoimmune-disorder genes.) People always comment about how wonderful/heroic/whatever my husband and I are. I always say, “Nope. Their birthmoms were heroic. We adopted due to a selfish desire to have kids.” IMO, parenting is…

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.

What is truly enraging is how easy it is for Democrats to start consolidating power and they just won’t do it, even when they have the opportunity. Best of all, the things they do to consolidate power are actually morally right.

You’d think right? It shows that a right wing nationalist of any stripe is a bad thing.

It needs to happen after Jan 2019. One of the ways Trump is paying for his trillion dollar theft from future generations—I mean tax cut for the rich—is by removing alimony as a tax deduction (https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/tax-bill-2017/card/1513379555). This doesn’t go into effect until 2019 (unlike other…

I want her to divorce him while in office; cable news would go insane.

That’s exactly it. Let’s turn the tables around, and assume that they had lost their entire communities in the NorCal wildfires, and that the Federal government give minimal to little help (beyond tossing paper towel rolls at them like t-shirts from a merch canon at a minor league hockey game) to re-establish their…

Jesus on a cracker Christ; there’s shameless and then there’s these fart-huffing shitweevils. Of course they found an opportunity to profit from the misery of others, of course they are navel-gazing dipshit techdouches-come-wannabe-visionaries, and of course the man at the center of it all is a former Warcraft Gold…

Much value. Blockchain. Wow.

I used to be a teacher and agree that the Teacher’s unions are generally shit. But my experience is that a shitty union is still preferable to no union at all.

I am happy to pay my National Insurance contributions and would be happy for it to increase to be safe in the knowledge that when my daughters have babies, or get sick, or if I need more medical care, I don’t have to bankrupt myself just to get the help I need.
