I am kinda curious as to why people who think ”sluts who need to keep their legs closed” “if they don’t want the consequences of having children” want to force those very same sluts to be mothers if they think those slutty women are such terrible people for their sexual activity.
Like ok, you want to force people who you think are immoral and disgusting perverts to be the kind of people raising children into your society? Literally force.
But of course these anti choicers are indeed invested in pretending that becoming a mother automatically makes someone a perfect person. They do it about themselves constantly. With that “As a parent…” line before all these politically charged opinions about wanting to dictate strangers’ lives.
Unless you are a pregnant child, a situation in which you have betrayed your own parents by becoming a parent too young and are shamed for life for it, parenthood otherwise often erases all past sins when placing the new parent in role of authority like that. They are allowed to use that authority to any end: what is legally violent assault between two adults is just normal parenting when a parent performs the very same actions upon even tiny toddlers.
Mothers are automatically widely defended for doing the most heinous Epstein style shit on the planet; child sex trafficking at the hands of a mother becomes, “she was trying her best. Motherhood is hard.” This is not an anecdote, this is not paraphrasing, but a lived experience shared by thousands alive at least in/from the US that I actually have real knowledge of as a survivor connected to relevant groups.
Mothers are seen as incapable of hurting their children, even when they beat them black and blue, because that’s the right of mothers to do so. They simply can do no wrong in the end, regardless of what criticisms they receive along the way. They are simply never wrong when it comes to issues of abuse by virtue of their position.
Mothers may be nit picked online about their choices in food, clothing, schooling for their children, choices of “discipline”, etc but to suggest any mother- regardless of violent, abusive, manipulative, neglectful, exploitative actions- has ever been any thing less than a perfect loving goddess-victim is more than just taboo, it gets survivors of such mothers seeking relief from childhood trauma institutionalized, drugged, criminalized, and demonized as crazy, unstable, bipolar, borderline, etc.
The same physical actions committed by a stranger against a child that warrant jail time and calls for execution by the public becomes “an act of love” and “the right thing to do” when a mother figure does it to a child. So I guess it makes sense after all really. Make them sluts become mothers. Get more women into the mindset that upholds this authority-victim system. It’s recruitment.
