Never understood women who divorce after, say, age 40. Do they really think they are going to find love again? At their age?

Who do you think average joe 50 year-old divorces are dating? 25 year-olds?

Teaching "abstinence" just increases the number of unwanted babies born and results in higher rates of abortion.

If you want low abortion rates then teach sex ed and provide kids with easy access to contraception.

If people really aren't suited to having children then don't have them, its not like there is any shortage of people in the world.

tl;dr I want the benefits of something without putting in the work that it requires.

This is a common sentiment among women (and some men too). They love their kids, but they don't wanna put in the work to raise them. They want to be attractive, but they don't want to keep their bodies trim or put in the general effort required to look good. They want creative, high-paying jobs, but they think they're entitled to them just because they have a certain degree. Etc, etc.

The reality is, anything in life that is really worth having takes hard work and effort to get it. You can't just separate the benefits from the effort.

It embraces the idea that motherhood is an oppressive prison, an institution in which women lose 'themselves' in every sense, and are forced into routine and subservient labor.

For some women it is. That's how you get these "Eat, Pray, Love" types who end up fucking over their families. I'd rather these women avoid marriage and kids rather than fuck over their husbands after the fact.

In fact, it is not a healthy viewpoint and the "some" women make up a small percentage of the population women. These women are sick and likely suffer some kind of mental illness. Is absolutely not normal to dump your 11yo daughter at a firehouse in Nebraska. It just isn't.

"Please accept that for wealthy white educated women, motherhood is a prison sentence. It is NORMAL to feel this way, ACCEPT this"

To understand why that is a reasonable response, you basically have to go through dealing with family pressure to have kids, where people act like not wanting kids means you are completely Charles Manson style insane.

That's like saying 'well for a mass murderer, murder is the norm. That's HIS reality and at least for him that's acceptable behavior. You have to go through his awful childhood to understand HIS perspective'

I'm more saying that it is perfectly normal to not want to be a parent and not enjoy the typical activities that comprise parenting. Therefore, these people should not have children, not that they should dump them at a public building in Nebraska or just be total dicks to their children (I've never seen the former, but the latter is a significant percentage of parents).

My point, more than anything, is that once you're already a mother it's sick and not okay hate your life, your children, and wish them gone.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3145942&forum_id=2#29939012)

The fact is that you have a ton of women that claim to want to be mothers purely due to societal pressure and then absolutely suck at it. We don't want to encourage that.

Dat Glass o Wine

However, because its assumed that there are legions of prole drunkard women out there just waiting for the OK to booze it up while pregnant the authorities err on the side of recommending no drinking at all.
