This. My entire experience with UK vs USA banter online is British people believe they are allowed to insult and mock us in the most vile fashion possible, but if we dare say beans on toast is yucky we have gone too far. The UK is the softest country ever.
It was much closer to slavery when women would get pregnant unintentionally and then be stuck with and financially dependent on her shithead boyfriend, which is why birth control was actually an incredible feminist development and why religious conservatives want you to oppose it
A historical trans man could say “I am a man, my only wish is that after I die my body is not revealed and I am remembered for the man I was” and some “feminist” would still be like “This is deadname lastname a super cool girlboss who tricked all the men to become a doctor!!!!”
“Why are there no trans men in history?” Idk maybe cus people either call them hashtag feminist girlbosses or they were forcefully married to men. Just a thought.
If you support a woman aborting a child over not having the resources to support an abled child, why is that same grace not being extended to women who can't take care of a disabled one? The child's life would just be hell if the parents can't keep up w costs and maintenance
IF YOU THINK PEOPLE WITH ADHD SMOKE WEED JUST TO “GET HIGH” - YOU HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A BRAIN THAT NEVER SHUTS THE FUCK UP, HAS 147 DIFFERENT TABS OPEN, 3 SONGS PLAYING SIMULTANEOUSLY, CREATING 4 NEW BUSINESS IDEAS BEFORE NOON, AND STILL SOMEHOW FORGETTING WHY WE WALKED INTO THE KITCHEN.
SOME OF US AREN”T TRYING TO “GET HIGH” - WE’RE SIMPLY TRYING TO TURN THE VOLUME DOWN.
It's worth pointing out that Down syndrome is caused by de novo (meaning not inherited) mutations and that affected individuals very rarely reproduce, so the debate about aborting such fetuses doesn't have much to do with eugenics in the strict sense of the word.
why is everyone so obtuse and assuming the author is advocating for this 😭 you’re supposed to hate him it’s fucking obvious from the text 😭 writing about gross horrible people doesn’t mean endorsement why is everyone so so so so so stupid these days I’m losing my sanity
I'm really not enjoying the way people are talking about disabled children and I'm going to remind you that your perfectly healthy kid could become disabled at any moment, literally overnight, and no amount of NIPTs or screenings could've predicted it, and then what will you do?
