Instead of trying to justify why your children should be fine with feeling involuntary pain they don’t want, spare them from it completely by not creating them.
Show them how much you love them
Don’t force them into a world that would harm them
Don’t have kids.
#Antinatalism
Accidents don’t happen in a vacuum
They happen to bodies with feelings & nerve endings
Bodies which we knowingly expose to pain when we create them
If you truly loved them you wouldn’t be able to stomach even the mere possibility of them suffering, let alone making it reality
People who’d want to be here & who don’t mind being exposed to harm, wouldn’t be wronged or deprived in any way either if they’re not born
Because they wouldn’t exist & can’t be affected in any way by the “missing out” of whatever glorified vanities & trivialities in this world
#Antinatalism because if a single human says:
“No! I wish I was never born cos I don’t want to be exposed to need, pain & death”,
then creating another human being, knowing the risks you’re imposing, IS WRONG
Because a person can only ever be harmed or deprived when they exist
#Antinatalism because we care that the individuals feeling these things don’t want to.
Because they matter.
How they feel matters.
Because WE don’t want to ever have to experience such pain.
Because it could’ve just as easily been any of Us or our kids

#Antinatalism because we DO mind.
Cos the struggle & pain you impose & expect us to accept is not worth it to us
& just cos the kids you expect to accept the mortal toil, pain & death you impose are powerless to express it doesn’t mean they might not have felt the same way
You SHOULD care that there’re other kids out here like the one you want to create
WHO DO MIND the strife & suffering
& would rather not have to endure any of the myriad of unnecessary problems, unpredictable harms with excruciating pain & the inevitable death you want to impose
Why should they pay the price for your desires?
You’re not the one who’s gonna bear their pain in the moment.
If you truly love them,
You shouldn’t assume that they won’t mind the pain
You shouldn’t assume it won’t matter to them cos it’s natural or that it’s “no big deal”
You know what you’re doing is unfair to them & that SHOULD bother you
If rape feels wrong then the fact that they’re powerless to resist it SHOULD make you uneasy
You shouldn’t expect them to compromise
You shouldn’t expect them to “just get over it”
Why don’t YOU compromise?
It SHOULD make you feel some type of way that your kids will suffer & die whether they like it or not.
The fact that it’s “natural” doesn’t make it OK to impose any of it on another person.
It SHOULD make you think twice about the strife & trauma you’re forcing them to endure.
We’re supposed to be emotionally intelligent beings not biological robots.
IT SHOULD bother you how your lifelong (obviously not so harmless) imposition they can’t consent to might affect your children.
When you give up your desire for progeny, you give up a mere craving with little consequence
Having kids & expecting them to compromise means forcing them to be OK with enduring agonizing physical pain like THIS
Compromise could cost them WAY TOO MUCH while it costs you little
And every biological parent becomes one with FULL AWARENESS of this traumatic reality
This is where the cruelty in procreation lies; the apathy within the “hope, optimism & entitlement”;
apathy to the KNOWN dire consequences of uncertainty & asymmetry being imposed on innocents
When an innocent is sentenced to certain involuntary death in service to it’s parents own “joy, hopes & dreams” & their selfish desire for progeny
The RECKLESS gamble with the fate of another child by a couple of entitled dope fiends looking for a feel-good “experience”, a fix
Pro-choice but you procreating
Pro-freedom but you procreating
When does a child choose to come here?
You impose life & take away your child’s freedom whilst fighting for privilege
When are you gonna fight to preserve their freedom from pain, suffering & death?

“Life is a gift” is not consent
“But I’ll love & give ‘em good lives” is not consent
“It’s natural; everyone does it” is not consent
“God commands it” is not consent
“I WANT kids; it’s MY right” is not consent
“But it’s impossible to get consent” is not consent
#Antinatalism
@LindseyRae5 @ConcernedVegan Both rape & birth happen without consent
Consent is important.
Esp. when harm is involved
In spite of how “good” you think something “like sex”, “like life” can be. It is wrong to impose it on another unconscious person
Consent is either important or it isn’t
Make up your mind
“Consent is a necessity presenting itself in every interaction.”
I like this phrase
& I wholeheartedly agree with it,
as would a lot of women, & men
Yet “consent” suddenly becomes a non-issue for most when it comes to procreation & potentially fucking someone else over
Why?
& FUCK YOUR MONEY
It’s not about how much money/love/comfort you can provide your kid
They never needed none of that before you drag ‘em here
We are safe
We are free
Invulnerable
Unaffected
Unbothered
Unborn
Until YOU decide to gamble with our fates & permit our harm & death
