I prefer to think of it as having the bravery to end a bloodline that reaches directly back to the first earth organism. The buck stops here.

Referring to woman as "bitches" might be part of the problem.

Or, is that the "joke", I don't gen Z humor a lot of the time, it seems.

I mean. This is framed as humor but a lot of people genuinely think this way. Derogatory terms for women aside, if you're not happy by yourself you're not going to be happy with a partner. Unfortunately this is the sort of thing you need to understand on your own and internalize because the kneejerk reaction to someone telling you this tends to be "having a girlfriend/boyfriend/partner actually would make me happier"

He doesn't mean bitches in a disrespectful way. He just means it as a general term for women.

People are talking like this in their 20s, like people never get married in their 30s or 40s lol. Chill the fuck out, develop skills and hobbies, and love will come.

Yeah, 20-somethings do NOT need to despair, although I would also add: make it a priority if love is something you truly want to find.

I see lots of people talk like this while not taking any active steps, as if the love of their life is going to knock on their door and tell them to stop scrolling and marry them.

I mean, I’ve been married for ten years to a woman who sent me an absolutely unsolicited and unprompted message on OK Cupid, where my profile was so disused I nearly forgot about it.

Sometimes the love of one’s life does just knock on their door and tell them to stop scrolling and marries them.

Have you tried to have just a regular conversation with women? I mean I seduced my wife by saying 'Hi, how are you' and listening to her. Yes, men and women are not the same but if we treat each other like humans, you can actually have a nice time together.

He doesn't say he himself is bitchless. To the contrary, he's wondering what it's like to know this which implies he doesn't know which means he did got a girl and is, in fact, bitchfull.

When do you suppose that what we consider modern humans were able to be capable of mutual consent? What about our ancestors and what we evolved from?

Because, that’s just a tiny fraction of our history, and that doesn’t go back close to even a hundred thousand years. Let alone “hundreds”. None of the times before that could be considered consensual. So yes, of course, you don’t?

Children isn’t even the right word for most of our history as well, It’s offspring.

"Feminism is nothing more than the radical belief that women are people."

The differences between men and women are largely just fashion and custom. Women have interests, wants, lusts, and dislikes that are as varied as those of men.

Homo sapiens is around 300,000 years old. That includes the level of intelligence and the capability for social behaviour.

And given that many female animals will violently chase off males who want to mate against the females’ will, ‘consent’ is probably much, much older.

My wife tells me that's what attracted her to me. She said I could hold a conversation and listen.

Which is also what attracted me to her. She could talk and had her own mind. "Treat each other like humans" seems like an easy ask but I apparently scooped up the best wife ever because nobody had done that before.

Animals can deny consent, but not give. You’re also proving their point. Nothing is consensual in the animal kingdom, and humans aren’t hundreds of thousands of years old either.

You are suggesting that not saying no means they give consent, that’s clearly not the metric we use.

Yeah there's a bunch of women I associate with that find me attractive and have either expressed interest in me or told me they would be if not for various external factors. I don't really do anything besides be in pretty good physical shape and go out and be chill towards everyone. It's not too difficult. Trying too hard is where I always ran into trouble.

I've always hated this take especially considering how the music industry has a whole genre that specifically refers to women as bitches and no one is ever upset by it and women even dance and sing along to them.

But say it online and ho boy now it's a problem

People are in general overly sensitive to words online. One day it was suddenly faux pas to say "retarded". Sorry but why is anybody policing this? If I call someone retarded, it was meant to be an insult.

I miss the Internet of decades prior, where it took at least a room temperature IQ to access it.

I am just the natural product of generations of slightly queer people having kids until finally my 100% queer ass was born.

But also: I do have a bitch. She's laying on my feet, keeping them warm with her soft fur.

Is the word consensual so hard for you to understand? It’s not the same as just consent. It’s mutual consent, not one sided. Lmfao such a “Reddit” thing to ignore words and their definitions to make their point. Look in the mirror mate.

Consent and mutual consent(consensual) are entirely different concepts. The animal kingdom CANNOT provide mutual consent, like your example, that’s denying consent, not mutual consent, and again, try using that metric in today’s age. They specified that in their comment, ignoring it is fallacious.

Or, you’re part of what’s wrong with the world and take not hearing no as yes. Not saying no isn’t consent and never has been!

I'm not having children either, but antinatalism is so ignorant and we literally wouldn't have lasted this long as a society if people stopped having children every time world conditions were bad (there hasn't been a time in world history where a genocide was not occurring).

Passing moral judgement like this on people who choose to have children is both insulting to their intelligence while also ignorant of the entirety of world history.

Society needs both people with children and people without. You are not better just because you're not having children.

Society will always have children. But for now it’s set up for rich children. I do judge people a bit for having kids in a society that refuses to offer them basic needs or economic mobility. Basically judge you for your ability to set your kids up for success. Not actually having the kids. But the foundation you offer them.

I think people who have the means (can afford or have access to the resources) to have children and want to have children (as in, not to fix a relationship but actually want to raise children) should have children.

I do have an issue with capitalism making it so that having children is a privilege of the rich, but that is a moral judgement on capitalism as a system, not people having children (some people being forced to by that very system as abortions or contraceptives are not available to them, nor is sex ed).

But to judge someone's morality simply for having a child is arrogant and unfair.

I agree it goes too far. I had a lot of friends in foster care and I think that will be one of those lived biases you find common with the anti-natal crowd.
