Vladimir Lenin.

Purpose was to take women out of the home.

BTW The founders of NARAL

Bernard Nathanson (who later became pro life) Dr. Lonny Myers and Lawrence Lader. These men got the 60s feminist on board to abortion.

Oh they coming up here with kids too but DNA says those ain’t their kids not even their family memebers so who kids are they and what were they going to do with those kids once they got here?

Of course you can.
When I was parenting my wife and child relied upon me.

I couldn’t have freedom of responsibility, but then I never particularly valued that.

Here is what I know from my experience.

We had two kids. Both my husband and I were in the work force. We were led to believe this was the thing to do.

But here is the deal with both parents in the workforce. You work all week long, then on the weekends, you get to do all the household things you didn't do during the week.

So, you bust it out all week long, then spend Saturday and Sunday (after church) busting out the yard work, scrubbing showers, toilets, vacuuming, dusting, grocery shopping, maybe get the kids to UpWards Soccer... You end up falling into bed on Sunday night exhausted but you have to start the cycle all over again the next day.

We are not having a fertility crisis. We are just wiped out. Fried. It is a system meant to burn us out.

College tuition is much lower for dogs than children, and the doggy professors don’t spew lefty propaganda!

So what was your point in posting something a dictator said?

My position is that marriage/relationships and kids are not worth it for men in today’s society. How can you try to equate my position to something a dictator said?

If someone relies on you, then you have to answer that call. That’s not independence.

Of course I was independent.
Nobody supported me. I earned the money, I made the decisions.

You seem to conflate hedonistic license for independence and your childish view is telling.

People are murdering their babies at the altar of a woman’s convenience. What can we expect to be the result?

Oh, and Muslims don’t abort their children.

Twenty years from now . . . welcome to the Amerikan Caliphate.

"...dogs usually behave better than children. "

Children grow up to become responsible adults, whereas dogs ....

I’m old and tired of all the barking and whimpering and peeing and crapping everywhere. And the dogs are no picnic either.

The future belongs to those who will show up to claim it. Without continuity your culture is dead within so much as a generation. Sure, your descendants may still give up their birthright “for a mess of pottage” or “sell the family farm” or grow up to mock the culture a values of their fathers anyway. But to give up progeny is to give up period. Without posterity you conserve NOTHING.

Those who show up for the future will claim it, be they the descendants of Muslims or Mexicans.

Not every wants, or should have kids.

My parents shouldn’t have had me or my sister; I don’t want kids.

“As Paul Joseph Watson calls MGTOW’s “Men Groping Their Own Penises””
________________________________________

Paul is mistaken.

MGTOW is not necessarily about being celibate.

If a MGTOW wants sexual release he usually is of a mindset to hire a sexual worker. No mess, no fuss.

MGTOW is built around the basis of warning men about the greater-than-better chances of getting screwed by the ex-wife.

Of course, in these days, MGTOW should also be on the look-out from damages sought by Common Wives.

Note: I believe in strong Christian marriages.

I do, however, read a lot of eclectic material.

“The child is ignored by the parent.”
_____________________________________

I believe there are three types of parents:

1. Parents who are okay with being parents and not friends to their offspring. These parents are often the ones TARGETED by government groups because they do not like the standards the parents have set for their children.

2. Parents who are hooked on drugs or other forms of illicit behavior that precludes loving instruction and caring of their children. These are probably the number TWO risks to their children.

3. Parents who willingly abuse their children via sexual abuse or other forms of physical or psychological (sp?) abuse. These are probably the number ONE risks to children.

I wish could be swayed from my beliefs on this issue.

Life has shown me too many times that this is the current way of the Western World.

“I was also cursed with horrible DNA, I cannot be allowed to have children.”
___________________________________________

Hi, wastedyears-

I am a close friend with a woman who explained clearly to her boyfriend that she had 2 brothers who were severely autistic. On the Autism scale... never did figure out how to phrase it, correctly.

Any way. She and her entire family informed this young man of the extremely strong odds of any male child being autistic.

He rolled the dice, and lost. Their eldest child was a healthy and lovely girl. Their second child was a boy who displayed severe autism.

He couldn’t except it. It destroyed the marriage. It turned his love of this woman to almost sheer hatred.

Had this young man, soon to be a father, took the time to look within himself, perhaps he could or would have chosen to not marry my friend.

So, it’s good to hear/read someone who can accept their flaws and are honest.

It must make relationships hard as deuces, though.

I like dogs better. We don’t have to buy health insurance on dogs. Our vet is cheaper, nicer and more educated than most doctors. The dogs are happy with a few treats. They don’t care if I buy myself a gift. If we go out to eat they are happy with the leftovers.

Yes they are spoiled and all 4 of them live in the house.

SNL recently did a parody song called “My Dog Is My Boyfriend.”
It wasn’t particularly funny, but quite close to a segment of society today.
A friend’s single daughter comes to mind; she’s already letting herself go (in her 20’s) and totally obsessed with her puppy.
