    Technically nobody owes humanity anything. We have lost the right to be owed anything. Humanity has done a disgusting job of caring for each other and the other species of this planet and will continje to do this disgustingly awful job.

    To all the people of ANY gender, man , woman, non-binary, IDGAF who read this , you OWE IT TO YOURSELF to live a peaceful life that you see as useful for yourself and your community even if that involves never having children.

    Indeed.

    The thing that fucks me up the harshest is that most women , and most non-males for that matter, globally do not have easy access or even ANY access to any form of sterilization, birth control, sex ed, or abortions. And we STILL have not changed this status quo!? Why are we chooseing not to change this status quo? Always remmember this disgusting fact…

    Heck there are even males who dont have access to sny of those things either and most of them are just …for some reasons… ‘A-OK’ with this setup? Wot?!

    I am so sorry for all the people who dont want to have children or who are regretful parents and suffering cause of this fact!

    A woman that doesn’t bear* children has the same value to society as a man.

    *Edit cause mistake.

      I’m pretty sure baring children will land you in prison* regardless of your gender

      *unless you’re rich, or famous, or powerful, or Donald Trump, or some eldritch combination thereof

      On a serious note, I’m not quite sure how to parse your statement. I don’t think women’s value should be defined in the slightest by whether they have kids or not. Are you saying that women who don’t bear kids are less valuable than mothers? more valuable than mothers? (I’m leaning towards interpreting it as the former, because it is my firm belief that men are pretty useless, but it still helps to clarify)

        Your uncertainty on how to parse the statement is exactly how i want it to be parsed.

        If you’re a misogynist, it means the value of the woman increases. If you’re a misandrist it means the value decreases.

        If you’re a good person it means the value doesn’t change at all. Gender equality for all.
