#childfree rant

[starryeyedseeker]

Good stars, Tumblr friends, I need to rant.

My aunt came back from abroad and some other relatives visited. My mom's cousin brought her spoiled kid along and I just knew something was going to go wrong.

In the end, I was wrong. It was some things.

He forced me and my brother to let him play on the PS4, and broke one of the controllers (woo-hoo, extra money spent!). He yelled in our ears. He licked a cake and put his fingers in it, then got massive diarrhea and we had to drive through the city to get him diapers at 2:00 fucking AM. He tried to hit my brother and scratched me and had the nerve to look offended when I yelped. He frickin ASKED MY DAD TO LET HIM PLAY WITH HIS REAL FUCKING GUN.

I was hoping for him to be the voice of reason, but do you know what he does instead? Unclips the gun AND HANDS IT TO THE FUCKING 6 YEAR OLD AND AWE AT HIM.

AND SO DID EVERYONE ELSE. And they had the balls to act like I was a Karen because I looked really scared and said he shouldn't be doing that. Even if unclipped, he could hurt someone or himself.

Which brings me to questions: Why, why WHY do adults let kids get such passes and then say they're spoiled? Why do they let them get away with everything? Why is anyone who's being negatively affected by a kid's rowdiness 'immature' or 'selfish'? I don't want to deal with this, why are you encouraging it??

I hate this culture of spoiled kid = cute, and how so much as discouraging a kid's demand (here, holding the gun) is mean to it. I'm not saying kids should be hit or yelled, but this other extreme of just... Not disciplining them, harms everyone.

A woman's womb is NOT a public good!

Respect a woman's body and mind autonomy!

Women didn't ask to be born or be born with an uterus, so they don't owe anything to anyone —society included.

Legitimate sources of "obligations" according to the Law

Having children is NOT mandatory!

The fact that society is mentally coercing you into having kids means that you're being manipulated, indoctrinated and brainwashed.

Only the country's set of Laws are legitimately rightful to coerce you into adopting a certain conduct and in NO democratic state's legislation are people obliged to reproduce and they're not being punished by any laws if they choose not to.

Make the difference between the sources of your obligations because the only legitimate source of obligations in a state that can legitimately enforce it via punishments is the Laws enacted by the Government/Parliament.

Same principle applies to this iconic bingo: “YoU oWe YoUr hUsbAnd KiDs/YOu aRe oBliGeD tO gIvE yOuR pArEnTs grAnDcHiLdREn”! No! You do NOT! You do not have to obey anyone else because you have full body and mind autonomy!

Your only duties are the ones edicted by Laws; they're the only legitimate source of your rights and obligations.

Toxic people are NOT legitimate sources of obligations!

Society —your mother, your father, your brothers or sisters, your in-laws, your friends, your neighbours, your co-workers, your... cat—is NOT a legitimate source of laws and obligations.

{Childfree and Happiness}

Motherhood and fatherhood aren't intrinsec values to happiness.

Not all women are cut to be mothers.

Not all men are cut to be fathers.

And that's perfectly fine. Reproduction isn't the crux of someone's life and neither is it a prerequisite condition to acquire happiness.

An inexhaustive list of atrocities that million kids go through:

1. Child trafficking —thousands of kids go missing every year and are tossed into prostitution or slavery and forced labour

2. Pedophilia —rape, prostitution rings

3. War zone children —incessant wars are marring this world and innocent kids are trapped into an absurd exchange of blows, being tortured or brutally killed in war zones; they did absolutely nothing to deserve to be victims of those atrocities

4. Diseases —especially genetic diseases. I know that breeders, in their rampant race to get pity and sympathy and get the title of noble “heroes and martyrs” gloat about birthing kids with grave genetic disorders, but I can't even put it into words how my heart clenches like a claw whenever I see infants hooked to wires and IVs and thick tubes protruding their fragile bodies, undergoing painful and hard surgeries because some braindead mammals decided to birth him with a hole in their hearts or severe autoimmune diseases or other life-debilitating conditions; ofc they'll get at least 4 more surgeries before they turn 6 but nothing wrong to see here, it's the "MiRaCoL Of LiFe” and the brainwashed horde of zombified sheeple will applaud the parents and the kids for his condition 😔😡😡😡 seeing a 6 years old kid injecting insulin into his body is anything BUT **Miraculos** this is torture!

5. Poverty —millions of children suffer from poverty as we speak, are born in insalubruous conditions, go to sleep hungry, suffer from malnutrition, have zero access to clean, fresh running water and proper food, don't benefit from proper education and don't have access to proper medical services. They starve, they need proper medical care, they suffer from horrible diseases, they don't get proper education, they don't even have proper clothes to garb with, they are literally born to suffer uselessly because our homo sapiens species is **primitive, uncaring, violent and is equipped with nay empathy, love, genuine concern and critical thinking**. How are they at fault for their perilous condition?! They didn't ask to be whooshed in those foster circumstances and there's absolutely nothing **"BlIsFuLl"** about it.

6. Bullying —I don't know why this isn't considered a top emergency in every state because there are thousand kids who suffer because society forces us into this slavery machine. Our workplaces, schools are nothing but micro-societies where the primitive hierarchies of our animal instincts shine: you have the strongest and the weakest and guess who's there to suffer the full consequences? Physical and verbal abuse leave deep scars that need years of therapy to overcome (if they can ever be cured at all) because there are people in the world who are born with pregnant violent animal instincts and innocents are forced to endure the manifestation of it.

7. Kids being born as **tools** to be used for convenience, for the most despiteful of reasons:

a. To give the useless breeders a **meaning** to their unimportant lives

b. To gain governmental money and paid maternity leaves

c. To gain recognition from the society —it's a ritual to access to a cult

d. To have free slaves to take care of breeders when they get old

e. To take care of their younger relatives

f. To commit crimes —Smuggling, begging...

g. To guilt—trap someone into an unwanted relationship

8. Torture, verbal and physical abuse —they come in numerous forms and happen in each layer of the society, from 1st to 3rd world countries and don't even make me start of physical mutilation in primitive tribes or religious societies... 🤬🤬🤬🤬

9. Slavery —children are being exploited as cheap labour force

... Pain comes in many forms and every soul born is a prisoner of pain.

Pain cannot be quantified and it cannot be put into words; no words scribbled in regards to the atrocities that innocents suffer can ever depict their feelings.

{---Reasons why CF people will **NOT** have kids::---}

CF people will **not** have kids just because:

1. They lack a life purpose

2. They've been battered and bludgeouned by the inevitable existential crisis

3. They're good with kids and are apt and jolly to interact with kids

4. They're women and they face an insurmountable social pressure and conditioning

5. It supposingly binds a decaying marriage

6. Their partner is coercing them into continuing "MuAh LiNeAgE" / they are desperate to keep a natalists partner by their side.

7. Is supposingly selfish to not bring an innocent into existing to make yourself less selfish (breeders logic, I know, I know 💣🧠👀)

8. Their parents / in-laws **demands** grandkids

9. ITs tHe BeSt ThIng EvEr

10. They need an insurance policy when you grow old and need free slaves to be your obedient caretakers

11. They feel useless and need someone to fill in the

void

12. THeIr bIoLoGiCaL cLocK iS tiCkIng

13. The global population ages

14. He might find a panacea to the gravest world problems

15. They need someone to love them unconditionally

16. Their friends and colleagues and bosses are breeders and are mentally trying to coerce them into following the 🐑🐑🐑

17. EvErYbOdy DoEs iT

All of the bingos contain the element of selfishness in it because when it boils down to the source of the reasons to breed, they all end up to **me, myself, I**.

1. There's no purpose for our existence. *We* are thr only ones who are cabaple to give our lives a meaning and there's limitless possibilities through which one can use his abilities and latent potential to produce something beneficial and fulfilling

2. Children aren't a panacea to vanquish fear of death and existential crisis that's specific to every age. People must come in terms with their ephemeral condition and make the best of their existence without forcing an innocent into existence who'll NOT solve any crisis; that's a mirage, a fallacy pushed down our throats by the system.

3. This bingo is illogical beyond belief. Just because I have certain social skills and abilities to interact with children doesn't qualify me for parenthood as parenthood is more compelling and ample and is not limited to communication skills.

4. Fundamental human rights is all I have to say about this. Women only have the obligations that the *laws* impose. "society" isn't a legitimate source of law, sorry coercitive manipulative breeders.

5. No, this will only make things worse because alany persons natural survival instinct and inner mechanism of defense will make them react violently and aggressively in a coercitive situation.

6. Never ever will a child be able to switch someone else's moral compass and feelings for the other. Not even hormones triggered by the birth of a child will be able to overcome the social and psychological barriers between two people. Never try to engage anyone in such a toxic bond.

7. Common breeders logic: I need to selfishly create a sentient being to make myself feel selfless...

Want something genuinely selfless? Go adopt!

8. Body autonomy. No one can ever legitimately make demands over my freedom and my body and mind. Never!

9. No one can be so contemptuous in asserting that he experienced everything in life to venture into such remarks. Plus, everyone's best in life is unique because **individuals are unique** and have unique dreams and hopes and worldviews.

Just because something is the best for one doesn't automatically imply that's good for everyone else.

Uniformization propaganda at its best.

10. Children aren't slaves to cater to your needs

11. Children are not your psychologist. Inner issues should be solved by professionals.

12. This bingo is a misunderstanding propagated by the mass media. A journalist used this phrase to pinpoint that there is NO BIOLOGICAL CLOCK or something else bodily and hormonally related to announce a woman that's she must breed.

13. Ponzi Scheme is a wicked, hoary system which must end. We can't continue to enslave the population for this pyramid to work

14. Forcing a sentient into existence under the premise of solving our mess is crooked and so so wrong. Why can't the already existing people solve their problems that they've caused?

15. No one can be forced to switch his feelings in an unwanted direction. Your kid will not love you unconditionally just because he shares a set of genes. We're human beings with feelings and superior brains, nor animals purely relying on hormones.

16. Life Script and one's inability to stray from the herd doesn't suffice in bringing a sentient into existence.

17. "everybody" does it, but I am *me* and you are *you*. *I* am not a faceless individual with no voice or individuality. We're unique individuals with human rights and not simply rightless cogs in the mechanism of the narrative.

Well, this  happened.

I don’t understand people who

A) Buy the biggest possible buggy for their baby B) Get into a bus and make sure that buggy takes the biggest amount of space C) Twist and tug and manhandle the buggy so that it’s wheels end up bumping into and laying on someone’s shoes and grocery bags D) THEN look at the person like they are a pile of shit on the ground because this person refuses to pay attention to them.

Yes, this happened to me today. No, I do not believe it was an accident how that woman kept on bumping into my shoes and bags over and over and over and over and over again, and almost ending up shoving the end of the buggy in my face (yes, the bloody thing really was that big, and yes, there was only one child).

when people ask me if i want kids, and i tell them no, and they respond with one of the reliable “You’ll change your mind when you meet the right guy” or “give it a few years” or “I’m going to laugh when you end up with tons of them running around ″ etc. I’ve learned the best responses to show them how rude theyre being:

1.) “well, aren’t you rude” 2.) “I dont remember asking your opinion” 3.) “Is every decision that is right for you right for me, or just this one?” 4.) “Is there somthing wrong with the idea of not having children?” 5.) “How would you feel if I told you that you shouldnt have/want kids and that you will change your mind about them? ... its the same thing” 6.) “My life and my decisions arent your fucking business”  7.) “Are you voulenteering to adopt these hypothetical children I dont want to have or raise or are you leaving me alone?”
