I want children. My best female friend does not. She wants to work. I want to raise a family. She doesn't want kids because she doesn't want to have to quit her job and be supported by a husband. But we've agreed that if she does have a baby, its daycare is at my place, free. x3<br /><br />I don't understand. Some people just don't want to have to be responsible for another's life. It's also a really difficult and mostly-unrewarding job. I might want to have enough children to operate a slave labour camp, but what reason other than "religion" is there for women to HAVE to reproduce?<br /><br />Sometimes I wish I didn't want children. It's far more sensible.Kitty Lovett; The Unadulterated Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16912762946623443410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856627602404206262.post-63073662469587644362009-10-09T17:41:54.446+01:002009-10-09T17:41:54.446+01:00Bridget - if this is true (and I'm always incl...Bridget - if this is true (and I'm always inclined to believe the interviewee in these cases), then that's fucking ridiculous. I'm glad she spoke up though!<br /><br />I do think that, at first glance, the article did seem very pro-CFBC; it's only when you actually read it that the message becomes apparent. Thing is, nobody calls men selfish when they choose not to have children, just like nobody says working fathers harm their kids. It's always the woman's fault.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14625730510019247372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856627602404206262.post-91495218605379786122009-10-06T11:41:33.633+01:002009-10-06T11:41:33.633+01:00http://childlessbychoiceproject.blogspot.com/2009/...http://childlessbychoiceproject.blogspot.com/2009/10/not-having-kids-is-not-best-thing-i.html<br /><br />I've posted this up on the Feminazi wall, but this has given a bit of insight into how the story was manipulated (the Fail writer pretended that the interview with the woman was actually her first person - boo!), and she seems a bit pissed off about the fact they made up quotes about her imaginary friend Marie thinking she was selfish.<br /><br />Who'd have thought my dissertation topic would relate to Daily Mail articles on subjects other than Liz Jones?<br /><br />HT: Seal Press Facebook fan pageBridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214332557166297012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856627602404206262.post-64950163411082202652009-10-05T21:17:01.796+01:002009-10-05T21:17:01.796+01:00Well said.

I am almost certainly not going to have children, however I will fight for the right, (Beastie stylee) for any other couple, or woman or man to have/adopt a child if they want and can care for one/two/a load, and their rights in the workplace etc. Amen to this post :)Jennymachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928742145991396560noreply@blogger.com
