Re: Confession Thread

[(Anonymous)]

I really hesitate to call myself "childfree" because I think a lot of people mean "I hate kids for existing."

It shouldn't be news that kids exist. They are going to be places. Doing things. You can not want to have them, but stop getting your panties in a twist over other people having them.

Re: Confession Thread

[sarillia]

Normally I have no problem with labels but that's one that I've never adopted even though it fits me. I don't even have a problem with it since I know plenty of reasonable people who use it but I still don't use it even though there are few things in the world I want less than a child.

Re: Confession Thread

[sparrow_lately]

Yeah...a lot of people (not the majority, I'd imagine, but very much the noisy minority) use "child free" as code for "I'm so entitled I think children existing in public places is a personal affront." So I understand why even someone with 0 desire for a child would still avoid that label.

Re: Confession Thread

[sarillia]

My point is that that's not why I don't use it. I mean, I call myself a Christian and a feminist despite all the assholes in both those groups. I have no problem taking a label that has bad associations in some circles. I don't know why I've avoided this one.

Re: Confession Thread

[sparrow_lately]

Maybe because Christian and feminist have good associations too, whereas child free has kind of come to stand for "jerk"? Idk. Sometimes labels that fit just fine technically don't sit right personally. That's cool too

Re: Confession Thread

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT - Exactly. I actually LIKE kids. I do wish they'd behave better in public places sometimes, but even then, often it's the parents. I don't expect a two year old to have mastered social skills yet, I expect their mom who's my age to have mastered them.

Re: Confession Thread

[(Anonymous)]

This is why badly-behaved kids make me so mad. It's not the kid's fault for not knowing better and acting like a kid, it's the parent's for not teaching them what is and isn't acceptable.

I really hesitate to call myself "Feminist" because I think a lot of people mean "I hate men for existing."

You hear how ignorant that is? You see why you're being an ass?

Except I don't call myself a feminist for that reason. Also, the TERFs.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

Well you're ignorant and hateful. No go away because I wasn't talking to you.

You'll probably get a response but seriously, try even a little bit

Re: 2/10

[(Anonymous)]

I really hate this ?/10 meme you fuckers are in love with. It's trolling by calling other people a troll. It's kinda not funny, and more than a little obvious at this point, and it shouldn't irritate me as much as it does, but you people really can't see what utter assholes you are, and I really wish you could.

Pot, meet kettle.

expect feminism is an ideology

not having a kid doesn't have to be

Re: Confession Thread

That's not putting feminism in the best light there. An Ideology is dangerous, able to be warped and turned into something not ok. A choice not to do somthing is much healthier, easier to live with and doesn't make other choices for you.

I think you're trying to say that feminism as an Ideology is superior to the Childfree thing because it has a dogma which seems kinda... Not particularly feminist friendly?

Re: Confession Thread

[diet_poison]

How the hell is anon being an ass? I don't really agree with them but they're not hurting anyone by choosing not to use a label?

Re: Confession Thread

[philstar22]

For me I don't like the label because it isn't that I don't like kids. They are great (in small doses). My sister will eventually have kids, and they will absolutely be in my life. And I used to babysit occasionally when I was younger.

I've just realized that I don't actually want kids of my own. But that doesn't mean there won't be kids in my life at all.

Re: Confession Thread

[(Anonymous)]

Completely agreed with this. I may not be wanting to have kids myself anytime soon (if ever), but I do like them. They can be very sweet and cute and adorable :).

And yeah, listening to a kid throw a tantrum in public can get annoying (I worked retail, believe me, I'm familiar with that situation :p)...but in that case, my annoyance is less with the kid ('cause kids scream and cry when they're upset, it's normal) and more with the parent(s) if they're not doing anything to deal with their kid's misbehavior.

Re: Confession Thread

[lb_lee]

Enh, for me, even though I NEVER want kids... I can't really call myself 'childfree' because I realize that in part, my lack of kids was sheer luck. (I lived in a region where, had one of my rapes succeeded in impregnating me as a child/teen, I likely would've HAD to deliver, unless I was willing to fess up exactly HOW that pregnancy happened, which would've risked my physical safety.)

Like, saying childfree implies that the lack of children is a choice and an option. And sadly, sometimes it really, really isn't. *shudder*

Re: Confession Thread

[herpymcderp]

Yeah. I used to call myself that when I was blissfully ignorant and thought it was just shorthand for, "I'm never going to breed; get over it."

Then I actually met people who identified with that "movement" insisting that children are demons and they hate them all and... ...no? I like kids. I've taught tiny, tiny little ones. Kids like me, and I'm perfectly happy to be a part time caretaker and educator and expander of small minds.

I just don't want any part of adding another person to an already smothering, overpopulated planet.

Re: Confession Thread

[nanslice]

Same. I actually quite like kids. The vitriol in childfree communities over kids in public places really led me to never want to claim the label.

Which is fine, childfree or "I don't really want kids" works fine for me.

Re: Confession Thread

[cakemage]

Same. I don't like being around kids and definitely don't plan on having any (it's a moot point anyway, as I had a complete hysterectomy for health reasons two years ago and my state doesn't allow gay adoption), but I don't call myself childfree because of the assholes who hate the very existence of children. It's sorta like how I don't associate with bronies even though I've been a MLP fan since early childhood.

Re: Confession Thread

[diet_poison]

I don't really have a problem with the term "childfree". I know there are plenty who are assholes about other people having kids but I've also met those who just use it to describe their own lack of desire to have them, and that's fine. The term itself is fine - I'll judge people who call kids "crotch droppings" for being assholes regardless of the terms they use to describe their own decisions.
