Fuck off!!

One of the more ignorant comments I’ve ever read on here. I have an aunt who adopted first and then went through hell (although not this level) to have a biological child. Those kids were never in competition. Why do we demonize the urge to experience pregnancy and childbirth? Why would we assume that adopted children…

SHE DID!

Seems like an unnecessarily hostile reaction. What basis do you have for assuming her adopted children would be cared for any less by their mother if she were recovering from a major medical procedure or if she gave birth to a biological child?

Holy fuck, this is really awful criticism.

But how is that different from when parents with biological children adopt? Are only childless couples allowed to adopt?

She has adopted. She adopted 3. I think she deserves to have a biological birth if that’s something she wants.

I’m sorry you’re a judgy asshole who shits on women’s choices.

That was unnecessary and kind of mean.

I wish I could give her a hug. Fertility issues suck, and the idea of going through a surgery with so much hope, only to have it taken away- it must feel like her body is failing her all over again. #youarenotbroken

Right. I’m sure the Church had its fingers in faculty HR matters at my law school. You could smell the incense in the halls after the Wednesday all-hands meetings.

This is definitely rape and it’s disgusting that the government is doing it.

not to mention, i can’t see it not being rape of some kind, if they are sleeping together.

Uh, I had a friend who was a virgin until 25 and she was not religious in anyway. Also, Tina Fey was a virgin until 24, Lisa Kudrow a virgin until 31. I was a virgin (technically) until 23, I think. It’s not that far-fetched and doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with anyone.

People who don’t want to fuck people they’re already friends with, or don’t want to fuck total strangers, because the right to be choosy doesn’t mean you’re retrograde. Perfectly good reasons that you might not agree with, but don’t give you the right to be a dick-weasel about it.

One of my best friends is all of those things and not from a conservative home. She’s religious on her own, very welcoming of all people and genuinely wants to wait until marriage because it seems right for her and she’s 29.

Please don’t be an asshole about what still is a woman’s choice. If my feminism says I can…

“I waited until a bit older than “normal” (25) for no reason other than it just wasn’t the right time for me.”

I don’t disagree with you at all about him, but you still have to understand that, even unintentionally, your original comment comes across, ironically, as prude shaming.

Why do people keep assuming she doesn’t know anything about her libido yet? Or has a low one? Some people are happy sticking to masturbation until they meet the right person. A high libido doesn’t mean you have sex earlier, it just means you masturbate more.

Seconded.

There are lots of reasons people don’t have sex, guys. If you really want to promote consent, how about we normalize people who choose not to have sex for their own reasons? Because the social pressure and judgment from the “pro-sex/everybody is doing it duh!” group gets pretty ugly.
