  1. @randomthoughts The word "abandon" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Life is not necessarily a "heavy burden", nor is it necessarily "constant chaos, physical and psychological pain". Even if it is sometimes difficult, there may be pleasures, satisfactions and joys that make the negatives worthwhile.

    Who is it a "gamble" for? The bearer or the born? I would say both. Gamble or not, it may also be an act of love.

    You cannot ask consent from a person who does not exist. There may be many reasons not to bring a child into this world, but not obtaining consent from a nonexistent child is not one of them.

    All in all I find this random thought of yours not profound, but confused.

  4. Giving birth is often marketed as an act of love. Yet, with closer inspection, we can see that it is also the greatest gamble in the world. No one has given consent to bear the heavy burden of existence. How "loving" can it be to abandon a soul, without asking and without giving it a choice, to this constant chaos, physical and psychological pain?

    Those who shout the loudest when the population declines are usually the ones looking for new slaves to keep the wheels of the system turning.

  9. Human childbirth has long been considered exceptionally difficult. A common explanation is the so-called "obstetrical Dilemma": humans walk upright and have large brains, leading to a tight fit between the baby and the mother's pelvis. This is thought to make birth especially risky in our species. Recently this idea has been tested against data on birth outcomes from other mammals. And it shows our problems are not unique.

  16. Untitled, Izumi Kato, 2016

    Just spent some time checking out this artist's website, and there are a lot more like this. Really impressive that they can communicate this thing in this way, which I don't think I will do justice with words. but something like primal and primate instinct and security. Maybe something about our social nature and survival. I'm taking those orbs to be breastish. Really love the weird little alien face, little kids are so cute but their weird little alien minds are strange to watch working, and I guess probably all of us are like that, we're better at lying about it. I don't know if I'm making sense and I guess it doesn't matter 🤣

  19. Chez les primates, la fin du mythe du mâle dominant

    2 mai 2026 - Magali Reinert

    La féminisation de la primatologie a changé le regard que la science portait sur les rapports entre les sexes de nos lointains parents. Les femelles établissent une domination non par la force, mais en contrôlant la reproduction.

  24. Y’all in the 1980s I started working towards my PhD in bioethics because I was afraid of what the backlash to roe v wade was going to bring, now that PsuedoChristians were driving Republican policies.

    I wrote about post mortem prenatal ventilation, and how it was a slippery slope that, if allowed, would remove all autonomy from any pregnant person.

    And we have seen that play out over and over with dead women, but now we’re seeing it with live women. These women had good reasons to not want surgery, the hospital didn’t even offer her an advocate, just pushed her, MUTED, while in labor, into a hearing where a bunch of men got to decide how she was going to give birth.

    Y’all, it may be time for a Lysistrata strike. No rights, no beast with two backs. No more shall we point our slippers toward the sky for men who are not our allies. Want babies? Get out of my uterus.

  29. MAKE IT MAKE FUCKING SENSE

    I, who know perfectly well I am not capable of caring for children, choose not to have children. "Passing on" my mental illness / disorders (like autism) isn't even a consideration - if I could care for a child, I would care for them, NO MATTER WHAT - but I do not have the stamina or energy or emotional resources or capacity or any other fucking thing in sufficient amounts to raise even the most normal, "easy" child - SO I DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN.
    AND SOMEHOW THAT'S A "BAD" THING.

    But over here, you have severely mentally ill people AND/OR severely cruel and vicious and dangerous people who have caused SO MUCH HARM to other adults in their lives - never mind children - who are SO FUCKING DESPERATE to pass on their genetic material that they are undergoing FERTILITY TREATMENTS. And successfully getting pregnant.
    And THAT is somehow a "good thing."

    I could just vomit fire.
