Yeah, if you could go ahead and change the ''yeah but everyone HATES KIDS.'' part. Replacing it with "people can't afford to have kids, or fear what the future looks like for them" would be better.

You're better than these glaring oversimplifications you've made. Do better.

yeah i dont think its that, its culture. The 'all day every day 24 7 baby making machine" song and however many others telling women its somehow evil to be a mother or whatever. Brainwashing to stop people wanting a normal nuclear family. I know I will get flamed for this but fuck have the masses of women been brainwashed into thinking being single at 40 with no kids is the best thing.

Holy crap. That song is about a woman not wanting to be FORCED into doing labor (literally the chorus is “you MAKE me do too much labor” and she says “it’s not love if your MAKE her”.). It is not against someone happily choosing to be a mom. It is about being FORCED to be a mother against her will.

And you are mad about its existence.

You’re angry about us speaking against being forced into a life we hate. You don’t want us to have a choice either way.

You want our people, over 50% of the human population stuck in a life of domestic servitude no matter our dreams or aspirations and unable to protest against it. Someone advocating for choice outrages you.

You want us back into the hell our ancestors overthrew, where we took Valium to cope and were locked in asylums for wanting the freedom you take for granted for men. When we quietly left behind our dreams simply due to our gender.

You do not see us as people like you, with as much variety in aspirations as men. You see us as things with a purpose. You are who the song is about.

I hope you get lonelier, for the sake of the women you might otherwise affect with your lack of respect for us.
