The only correct response to these people is “fuck you, get away from my family.”

Responding to fascist attempts to reproduce the family unit by invoking the family is a bit ironic

Hard to describe the amount of rage I felt when I hit that bit about discouraging c-sections because it reduces the number of babies you can have

But what if they were this completely different group of people I made up in my column?

I call BS on forced childbearing over education.
I got my MD degree as desired. Got a residency position in my specialty. Had two children which was our desired and planned number as we both took part in childrearing and career building. Both are immenently possible.

I was told I couldn't be a doctor and a woman both so many times, I honestly think that sometimes it was my anger that gave me the courage and stamina to carry on. My advice to young women...or anyone for that matter...don't let anyone else tell you know arbitrarily based on your identity.

What is with this whole need to have more babies??? Absolutely absurd. The planet is barely hanging on as it is.

I just read this all the way through and I don’t see women targeted specifically.

xmindallas.bsky.social•11 hours ago

You should read it again. They want to promote early marriage and discourage higher education. That puts women at a disadvantage.

leopardonparade.bsky.social•8 hours ago

How about you hold the snarky comments? I’m a feminist and if there were female-specific things in here I’d be the first to be talking about them. There aren’t. Those things you mentioned also disadvantage men who go for degrees.

xmindallas.bsky.social•8 hours ago

I think the snarky comments are warranted. It's much less likely for a woman to finish college after having a child or getting married than it is for a man. I'm sorry I have to explain that to a self-proclaimed feminist.

Why does it piss you off so much that I disagree with you? Male chauvinist, perhaps? The article presumes both men and women will complete their education before going on to marriage and childbearing. Unless you missed the “success sequence” mentioned. And what’s your source for your claim that 1/

“it’s much less likely for a woman to finish college” after getting married?

Just a few months ago I lived in the greatest country in the world, now it's becoming one of the worst... and no one is going to stop the decline. Absolutely mind blowing.
