I am really allergic to both dogs and cats, and have antihistamines with me always, because sometimes people have service animals. Poor little guy. His parents suck for not planning better, but maybe they weren't familiar with air travel? I hope all the airline people were really nice to him and that he felt better after getting some fresh air and meds.

Someone should, at some point, make posts on Imgur explaining what feminism actually is, which will result in some fantastic comments from the "community" there

It's usually the cliché between money and physical labor in those type of macros. Probably the same type of people who believes the gender wage gap doesn't "exist."

I have a close lady friend who uses the pill to control tumor's so I get the reasoning for why you'd use it but these guys aren't about medical reasons for it, they just think they don't want kids. I want them to put up or shut up (which isn't going to happen).

Bragging about how much you hate and never want to have kids doesn't really mean much if you're only committed to condoms and the pill (really neither mean much because they're not having sex anyway). There is a real issue where if you're a woman without kids and under like 45 it's nearly impossible to find a doctor who will do a tubal ligation. Hard for men and vasectomies too, but much less so than for women. However. There's also an issue where tubals are actually less effective than an IUD or arm implant, because the tissues can grow back  not to mention it's a major surgery.CF almost never talks about this stuff though, it's always "ugh my sister posted a Facebook photo of her kid's report card UGH SO DISGUSTING BREEDERS I HOPE THEY DIE!!!!" They are just so loving hateful.

Every childfree person I've met has eventually later in life turned into the same cliche they hated so much and have more kids than anyone in our former friend group. I think for the very vocal ones like in those stories (i.e. not the more reasonable people who just say "I am content not having children" or whatever) it really is "just a phase" and someone needs to save their rants to show them after they start flooding their facebook with their new baby pictures.

I hope her boyfriend/husband/lesbian companion/otherkin isn't as hung up on not having kids because apparently they are involved with a woman that randomly blows off work to waste 300 dollars on star wars crap at "Tar-jay", which tbh sounds like having a kid but way worse.

CF threads always brag about having money to blow on random stuff. Children are financial leeches, while I get to spend money on myself and not live in poverty.

Like when you were seven and your sister was two and she got away with stuff because "She doesn't know any better!" and that really pissed you off because it sounded dumb but now you're an adult and you actually understand the way that brains develop and the literal lack of impulse control and other important parts of an eventual adult brain that children don't have, and that means, yes, society isn't going to get as mad at a kid for riding a shopping cart through the grocery and then having a tantrum because they're out of their fave flavor ice cream as they would if you, an idiot and adult, decided to do the same.

True. I had a CF friend who constantly posted on Facebook about how she lurved her life so much and had all this disposable income, and that women with kids were just sad tired old bags smeared with baby poo poo. Well guess what happened last year? She got knocked up and would not stop posting every single second of her pregnancy on FB. Now the kid is here she's a breastfeeding bore, constantly posting pics of herself feeding the kid with comments like 'just you dare delete this FB! I have a right to post pics of mah kid!' I honestly feel most of the CF crowd are just protesting a bit too much.

Yeah, I feel like many of the people who get super angry about it are just upset that they're not able (possibly due to not being in a committed relationship or something) to have kids themselves, so they say all this stuff in an attempt to convince themselves that it's totally cool and they don't really want kids anyway. I honestly can't really think of any other reason for someone to be so flat out angry towards children and parents.

I've never heard anyone say "CF" or "child-free". Ever. But militant-anything is typically lousy. Me, I just know I'm not ready for kids, so I don't have them. The only time I get mad is when I meet people who "don't believe in" birth control or whatever, or people who act like their kid is a miracle, when you can see good and well the brat is going to grow up to be a multiple felon.

No one is saying that not wanting kids is wrong, it's their insanely aggressive attitude towards the very existence of any kids at all that's messed up.

Being militantly Child-Free™ usually comes off as one of those defensive measures. Deciding to not have children (or deciding to have them) is a really big deal, and I think most people are pretty conflicted whatever choice they make. I've more or less decided not to, but when a kid walks by in light up shoes or tells me they have new pants on, it's harder to feel so convicted. On that note, though, people who are religiously into it? I am glad they are not having kids. 90% of the time, super vocal CF people are arrogant, reactive nutjobs and they'd do a great jot at loving up their kids. Too bad that, as people have mentioned, they sometimes just have them anyway.

My favorite CF posts are the ones that get super angry at their own family members for simple things. You know, horrible things like being invited to their little cousins birthday party or God forbid being asked to babysit their niece or nephew.

Yes, child-free forums are cesspits, but I for one am ready to move on as it turns out talking about CFers is not much better. quote:I felt your eyes on me the moment I walked in. I saw you look at my youthful face and then glance at my outfit- a modest blouse, pencil skirt and heels- an outfit appropriate for one coming from work. I heard you whisper, "Figures." to your companion as I was led to a table where an older gentleman was waiting for me.

RANT TIME Harry Potter book release: don't worry, no spoilers. Showed up at seven, in full costume for a nine am release. Devoted no? I was one of the few to dress up, and I was the best-dressed. I'm not being vain, I honestly had the most detailed and accurate costume there. We were told in line, that the best-dressed person in line gets to open the box and have the first Half-Blood Prince book. So, I'm a shoo-in, aren't I? WRONG. loving moo brings her bratty sprog in at 8:59am dressed in a generic Kmart cape with stars and glitter and loving gaudy BLAH. Twig for a wand. OMG WITTLE PWESHUS SO CUTE OMG YOU CAN OPEN THE BOX AND HAVE THIS BOOK YOU CAN'T READ AND *fawning fawning, blatant breederism etc* THE loving KID WON'T EVEN REMEMBER THIS. THE BOX OPENING WAS MINE. MIIIIINE. I wouldn't have minded if someone had said "Oh look Sass, you are best-dressed but would you mind if this land-mine amputee opened the box instead?" I would have said "Absolutely no problem. Go for it." But no. loving CROTCHDROPPING GETS THE HONOUR. I'm furious. On principle of course, not out of any sense of entitlement. Well yes, entitlement also. But I WORKED FOR IT, I DESERVED IT. I made an effort. I spent money making an effort. I showed up early. I will remember and treasure this event for ever and eternity. And I'm passed over for an ugly little brat with a sparkly tie. Woo loving woo. I didn't stab her in the eye with my wand. I WANTED to. I talked about doing so VERY loving LOUDLY. I was going to eviscerate her mother with the cover of my brand-new copy. I loving hate breeders and child-lovers. loving GO TO HELL. I'm so pissed about this, sorry. It's just that in ten years time, this kid won't remember what she was doing on July 16th 2005. In ten years time, I will be remembering how I was deprived of this nerdly honor by an opportunistic twat breeder and her shitling. I'm hurt. All my life, nothing has gotten to me more than being deliberately ignored, or passed over. Honestly; that's the sort of thing that can make me cry in public. Or key your car. Or viciously murder you and your family in the heat of frustration and never-ending denial Congratulations breeders, you win. Edited to add: To all of you who are calling me immature etc, I'd like to add that you make a very good point, but have you considered GO gently caress YOURSELF? If you're so anal-retentive, go back to the other community and go on with your breeder-humping. Also, to the person who submitted this to fandom_wank, I seriously (no sarcasm) thank you. I've always wanted to be there! Zelder's edit: well whoops i guess this poo poo probably did happen now that I re-read it, my bad Zelder has a new favorite as of 22:04 on Feb 25, 2016 |
