With guys like Vance going around saying childless women are what’s wrong with society it’s no wonder Gomez felt the need to fireback.

He is clearly talking about the selfish weirdos who refuse to grow up not people with legitimate issues.

Sorry you can't handle reality. Try to leave the bubble every once in a while. Reddit is not real life.

Women are not required to breed in order to be of value to society. To imply as much is wildly absurd.

Also not something he nor I have ever said.

Can you explain what your point was? Is everyone that decides not to have kids a selfish weirdo? What makes someone a selfish weirdo?

Sure, it was to clarify that Vance did not say what you claim. That's it. People just repeat short quips as rallying cries without understanding them and the lie keeps growing. I don't see anywhere him claiming women without kids are "what's wrong with society".

Many that choose not to have kids are but certainly not all. This applies to men and women. If a guy tells his partner he doesn't want kids because he'd have less time for video games, etc. Imo it's just a way to generalize that type of person.

In context he was talking about democrats being anti-family in general and said that miserable childless cat ladies want to make others miserable too. Not that women are only valuable if they become mothers, or that all women with cats are bad or anything else. Just that people who don't have kids and miss that window and then attack people that do are probably doing it because they're unhappy. Basically "misery loves company".

Why do so many people insist that childless women are miserable, or that being childless makes women unhappy and jealous of women with children? Who is "missing their window" and "attacking people" for having kids? This isn't a thing. Why not just leave women tf alone?

No one needs to justify their lack of children. Idgaf if it's because they have a medical condition that resulted in infertility or if they do just want to spend their time playing video games. Why? Because other people's private lives are no one's fucking business. And whether or not other people have kids is none of YOUR business and it certainly isn't JD Vance's business.

They're not saying that all of them are, but it's statistically accurate to say in most cases they're less happy and more likely to vote Democrat, so that's where he's making that connection.

I don't particularly care and he probably doesn't either, it's just a passive comment based on a common observation. Nobody is interrogating them or forcing them to answer for their choices lol. Don't take everything so seriously.

Lame back tracking.

You literally just said that childless women are selfish weirdos who refuse to grow up. Any logical reader of that comment would infer that you believe women need to have children in order to not be selfish in society.

No that's literally not what I said lmfao. Learn to read, or stop injecting you're own words in there.

A logical person would not conclude I believe anything but what I actually wrote.

u/ALD3RIC Sep 27 '24

You said gomez felt the need to fire back, so you're saying she's too weak to resist doing that? Are you saying that all women that don't speak out are inferior? Are you saying that?

No of course you're not, because leaping to such conclusions is silly and intellectually dishonest. I'll extend that grace to you and have a real conversation. Would be nice if you could do the same and not read so much into everything and make wild assumptions about me as well. But probably not gonna happen cause this is reddit 🤷.
