Having a child should be a privilege not a right. Are you willing to argue that there aren't many unfit parents?

Don't pivot and backpedal. You said if you can't afford the time off it takes to raise a child, you shouldn't be having one. This does mean that only the rich would be having children. Do you think this is a reasonable position to have?

It doesn't mean you have to be "rich" to have a child. Nice attempt at a strawman.

It's not a strawman. You have said that in order to have a child you should first be able to afford to take several months off of work (because you're against maternity leave). Very few people can afford to do this.

So do you think it's reasonable that only upper class people should have children? Please answer this direct question instead of pivoting and changing the wording. A yes or no will do just fine. Anything beyond that means you can stfu.

Let's be real here:
You'd need to be able to take off at least 3-5 years of work to not have to constantly worry about being there for the baby and stuff .

I'll never understand why women who lived decades ago wanted to give up the housewife gig so badly, tbh.

Because in a time when women are exclusively "housewives" they have nothing of value they can bargain with for status except their potential for marriage.

Women with jobs and money give them the same merits men have - - except it kinda turned out that a lot of men have fuck all in the "potential for marriage" department.

Breastfeeding at work means that you've brought an infant into the workplace. That is unacceptable.

Outside of the fact there are in fact places that would let you bring your baby to work, no one is talking about breastfeeding at work. Women who are still lactating need to be able to drain themselves.

How is one person so incapable of critical thinking

So basically, the roles have reversed now. :o it used to be that women had to be constantly concerned about their potential for marriage since they had no worth otherwise, but now that girls have their own worth it is the guys who have to be constantly concerned about their potential just to get laid.

Serves them right >:U

"We don't want immigrants but we also don't want our women to have children."

This is how you get Japan levels of population growth

this is the same state whose voters passed an anti-corruption act, and then whose legislature and government overturned it because they decided it was too broad for their tastes.

no surprise here. the GOP in south dakota has basically concluded "you little fuckers aren't voting for democrats anyway, so go fuck yourselves. we do what we want."
