Lefty women - how do you deal with being intimidated by Sarah Palin's fertility? |
|
According to Free Republic, "The lefty women I know are threatened by her fertility. Really."
How do you deal with this crushing burden?
And, any suggestions for dealing with being so threatened?

2. To quote butterfly McQueen in Gone With the Wind.... |
|
"Miss Scarlet I don't know nothing 'bout birthin' no babies!"(Then of course Scarlet slaps her.) But..... I think I can live with it. What I do have a problem with is her parenting style.... She didn't give her daughter the proper "ammo" with which to meet a world where.... people have sex.

If a woman was intimidated by another woman's fertility wouldn't she just have more kids? That's just really strange.

Four bio kids, one stepkid (as opposed to the 5th actually being my grandkid), I make a great living, AND I know both the countries involved in NAFTA as well as the fact Africa is a Continent! Conservatives want to put us in a box, but they're (as usual) full of shit. I know PLENTY of active, Democratic women with 3 (and more) children. The difference is that Democratic women don't tell other women that OUR choices should be the only option.

Every day I start the day weeping for my poor empty womb and then I go off to work at my totally meaningless empty job of looking for a cure for chronic illnesses. How do I live with myself? I can't stand the guilt of knowing I haven't done my duty as a woman because I've been so busy using my mind professionally. Oh woe is me!

I deliberately chose to have a tubal ligation at age 21. I have no need for creating more people. No one should have children "unconsciously" and without thought of the planet.
Unfortunatly (imho)not enough people agree, especially on that site.

31. winners have achievements, losers keep popping out babies, all women know this |
|
intelligent thoughtful women take steps to limit the size of their families
no one is impressed by fertility, any stupid person who can't understand how to use birth control properly can be "fertile" -- and usually is!
no one envies the lady with 5 children, they pity her, and to be honest the pity is usually heavily tinged with contempt because, you know, after two kids, she really should be able to figure out what's causing that

58. This is what pisses me off. |
|
I had 4 children. If it makes you feel any better for my pathetic liberal soul, my parents had only two and some psychotic babysitter knocked my brother in the head when he was a year old leading to a severe seizure disorder and subsequent profound mental retardation. He can't take care of himself much less have children, so in the grand scheme of my generation in my family, we still broke even here.
Thanks for your open mind and respect for choices others make. Blanket statements such as your would alienate lesser people into feeling excluded from the Democratic Party which is the ENTIRE freeper talking point. Fortunately some of us are better and more knowledgeable than that and while I understand in theory what you're saying obviously, again, it it divisive and unnecessary. On a global scale, education and options lead most women to better family planning all on their own without lectures.

I stand by my original statement. Zero population growth. Live it. Believe it. Americans, especially, are killing this planet with over-consumption. Knowing that and living it IS a Democratic ideal.
And btw, ZPG calculations take into account non-child bearers. You earn no points for having the children your brother couldn't have. The statistical ideal is actually 1.8 children per couple.
I don't see a culture in America that celebrates population control. What I see is a culture that goes ape-shit every time some woman has an obscenely large litter of babies, as when the media goes nuts over multiple births. Those idiots the Duggers actually have a freakin' TV show now, as if the specials weren't enough.
It's a uterus, not a clown car.

First, I can outdo any woman in the area of fertility, but I have chosen not to. Second, I would say it's more likely that Palin and other conservative women envy and resent the freedom we lefties give women to choose what they do with their bodies.
Honestly, how deluded can these people be?

These are people who had a yard sign "No Ape in '08" in reference to Obama... when the sign made headlines, the guy claimed he couldn't think of anything else that rhymed with '08.
First off, Ape and Eight don't rhyme.
And, my 5 year old daughter could probably come up with a few on her own - date, hate, late, mate, bate, cate/kate, rate, trait, sate, nate, etc.
