Oooooh, giiiirl, somebody wants to be America’s Next Carter Page

as long as I can still side-eye the women who wear “Mom+50 Shades of Grey+Dad = Baby!” type tops.

Yeaaaaahhh, I feel like “let your kid present how they want” is just good parenting for anyone. I’m sorry your mom did that to you.

No fucking kidding. When I remember how often I would (for example) see an article title that clearly referred to some baby-related individual or societal tragedy, say to myself “Don’t read that, rslwn”, and then CLICK AND READ THE DAMN THING ANYWAY AND SOOOOOOOOOBBBBB. I was a wreck in November 2016 because I had…

I mean, I kind of assume that if my child doesn’t feel that their name fits (regardless of gender identity) they’ll tell me, and I’ll be happy to pay for a name change *at least*.

this is great! I loled.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable either! I think about the privilege that my children have moving through the world, and am trying to make awareness and activism a strong focus of my parenting with both of my children (because white women are beneficiaries of racism too). And yet *gestures upthread at a certain asshole*

See this is the thing... I had assumed, if it was a girl, that my biggest challenge would be protecting her from the world. Once it was a boy, all I could think of (and again, this was an intense and irrational fear of mine) was that my biggest challenge would be protecting the world from him. So I get both sides of…

deleted. all this shit is tiresome. fuck off.

*deep fucking breath out* THANK YOU.

But on reviewing your posting history, you appear to be (1) male and (2) a gun owner? so maybe you fucking protest too the fuck much and you should…

god you’re exhausting.

oh my god can you imagine if they came with MORE THAN ONE

wow it’s almost as if I copped from the outset to being irrational on this point, and yet you’re over here like “THAT IS TOTALLY IRRATIONAL”

:\

My son didn’t do anything to inform my opinion, it’s true (although the hormones, which you’re conveniently ignoring, did). Mostly, though, it was the rest of the men already living in this goddamn world that informed my opinion on the relative merits of sons and raising one. Why don’t you quit wasting my time and go…

GIRL. I GET YOU.

. . . you don’t know what your daughter will do. She might not only keep the family name, but also pass it on to her kids. But that’s in her hands, not yours.

Wow, I was just reading your other comment and thinking what a piece of shit you were, and now you went and proved the point. Eat shit and die. :)
