Life would be infinitely better if people were just made and emerged as their adult selves

Years ago I used to read a lot of childfree drama (mostly on LJ) in my spare time, and I recall someone arguing that children should not be seen in public because they're proof that someone had sex. At what age a person magically stops being proof of sex was not clear.

Normal people only have so much to vent about and leave after a while. So the people who stick around as long-term members of the community are all the people who have nothing better to do than rail about "crotchspawn" and "breeders" all day.

There were no men on the childfree LiveJournal community that I remember and they still posted that poo poo constantly.

Byzantine posted:

I think you're stretching. Childfree poo poo is a reaction to heavy social pressure that if you're not married and cranking out kids by 25 you're broken. The constant nagging about "when are you giving us grandchildren?", that kind of thing.

I don't think I've ever seen one that was directed at a man, or even a couple, so regardless of why the poster is resentful the central element of those stories is still a woman's undeserved sexual agency. On top of that is all the overtly misogynist poo poo like describing them as "landwhales" or whatever else, but even without that misogyny is still absolutely central to the meme.

It absolutely can be a reaction to that, but I the language that gets used is an indicator of internalised misogyny being at least a contributing factor. It's not just that they're railing against society, they're railing specifically against women, using dehumanizing language, and funnily enough, never seem to attack fathers as much as mothers.

Oh yeah, definitely. I meant that not everyone you encounter using this totally disgusted-with-women tone is a guy; even the women on childfree communities 15 years ago were using the same misogynist clichés.

I'm not gonna lie I had friends in middle school that would pass me notes in class that were exactly like this. They also would talk about how everyone else is obviously a POSER!! I wish I saved some of that poo poo because it would probably be extremely hilarious now. I think I burned it all after I was oh so tragically dumped by my middle school boyfriend so it's lost to the ages... :sigh:

Almost every stdh story could be something that happened, but like with that one if you start asking yourself questions like "why is this written down/who is it written to", "does this validate the beliefs of the person who posted it to an unusual degree", etc it's far more likely to assume it's like-farming and therefore stdh. That one's annoying i's dotted with hearts and the weird "oh poo poo I forgot i'm supposed to be a kid writing this" spelling/grammar errors should set off anyone's stdh alarms imho, even if there might be kids out there that hypothetically could have written something like it.

I mean, that picture's been posted several times before and it always reminds me of me and my friends in middle school who thought we were badasses cause we listened to Green Day and dressed like Avril Lavigne (but we also hated her because she was such a fuckin poser!!). My handwriting sucked rear end as it still does, but some of my girl friends had super girly writing with hearts dotting the i's and used bright gel pens while they wrote notes, and probably diaries too, about how much they love ICP and Marilyn Manson and Slipknot or whatever. Previously I resisted the urge to share this experience but this time, this time I could hold it in no longer. I apologize, and it will not happen again.

Edit also I just realized the date on that diary entry (that's what it is, or is supposed to be by the way) is todays date so happy Possibly Fake Preteen Dead Kennedys Diary Entry Day, stdh thread!! Sept 26 never forget

NAR posted:

(I am sixteen. This is when marijuana is not yet legal in California. My stepdad, who is only a few years older than me, has been bullying me for his entertainment. The latest topic is my choice of hobbies; art is for children, videogames are evil, Dungeons & Dragons is for satanic losers, and Pokemon is for the, well, an ableist slur I’d rather not repeat, and so on. I bring up my complaints about this chronic harassment to my mother.)

Mom: *smoking a cigarette indoors, despite my severe asthma* “Well, it sounds to me like you need to get more mature hobbies.”

Me: *not surprised, just irritated* “First, how is that fair? He collects baseball cards, and I collect Pokemon cards. It’s basically the same thing! And second, more mature hobbies, like what?”

Mom: *snaps* “GROW THE F*** UP AND FIGURE IT OUT!”

(I am not exactly friends with good people, but my friends are better than blood. They and their parents help me get ahold of “mature” hobbies, with the plan to use it just for show. After spending a week away without notice, I return home to my mother with a very full backpack.)

Mom: *notices the dog acting weird about my backpack* “What’s in that?”

Me: *flops some very raunchy magazines out of the backpack, followed by a suspicious bag of green-brown herb balls and some unmarked pills* “You said you wanted me to grow up and get mature hobbies. So, now, I’m going to go find out what that woman can do with that horse while I’m getting stoned, because that’s what adults do. If I get bored of that, I’m going to raid your liquor cabinet. Is that ‘mature’ enough of a hobby for you? I can’t get my grades any ‘higher’ so I might as well get ‘high,’ too!”

(The cigarette falls out of my mom’s mouth. For once, she is silent. We stare at each other for what feels like several minutes before I repack my backpack and take it to my room and put a chair in front of my door. I toss the backpack out the window, where my friend is waiting, and she sneaks away so I can’t get caught having possession of it. I spend the afternoon playing video games until my mom knocks on my door, instead of just barging in like usual.)

Mom: “Uh, so, uh… You can play video games and stuff all you want. I’ll tell your stepdad to leave you alone.”

(Tragically, he didn’t leave me alone. But at least they stopped trying to force me to stop enjoying my own hobbies after that. I didn’t ever end up using any kind of illegal drugs.)
