My mom told people, and because I was only 9, they looked at me funny and talked about me as if I wasn't there and couldn't hear them. They seemed to think my early period meant something bad would happen to me or something. I don't know. Very uncomfortable.

People wanted to get it, but nobody wanted to get it as young as I did, at age 9. That was not fun or cool.

Harpo is a character in The Color Purple. He beats his wife in an effort to control her and be "manly". This idiot isn't good at racist memes, but I have seen vague attempts at racism using references to The Color Purple before, usually involving the way some of the characters speak.

Actually, plenty of us non-parents have basic common sense. I won't tell anyone how to raise their child, but I can be just as effective at noticing red flags or even reporting someone for child abuse. I don't need to be a parent to know that it is wrong to do some of the things that I see parents doing to their…

Ok.

Are you sure this isn't an Onion article?

You are a racist troll. Go away.

Um...no. Just no.

Whatevs. Most people are against this. Period.

Honestly, I would try them in the winter because they sound warm without having to wear two pairs of pants.

Eugenics just got a bad rap??? Jesus Christmas.

There. not their! Shit, I have no idea how that fucking happened.

This kind of thing should not even be offered. Full stop.

In cases of repeat sex offenders, yes. Not in cases where the guy crashed a car and did the criminal acts that this guy did. You can't say "We've decided that we don't like how many children you have with different people, so we're gonna sterilize you." This is not connected to his crimes. This is bullshit, and…

That is not all their is to eugenics. It is also only allowing the so-called "best and brightest", actually the richest and whitest to breed.

Vasectomies are reversible 50% of the time. They are not a simple birth control option like getting an implant or something.

Vasectomies are reversible 50% of the time. So it is not a short-term sterilization option at all.

Offering pleas is standard. Vasectomies are not. Requiring specific medical procedures (except for in cases of child rape) is not.

Offering poorer, less educated, usually minority defendants deals that consist of "go to jail for life/20 years/some other long amount of time" or a vasectomy as part of a plea deal that doesn't involve long amounts of jail time is not giving someone a real choice. These "choices" are only given to certain segments of…

Have you not read the comments? Most people agree that it is wrong to force people to do things like this, male or female.
