Re: Does a couple without kids count as "a family"?

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with you that putting "just" in front of a qualifier is potentially, and in some cases explicitly, belittling.

I do not, however, agree with you that "not a family" is belittling.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with not being the member of a family. The problem is not the distinction; it's the undue weight given to the term.

"Separate but equal" doesn't work - human nature won't let it. We will always give different judgements to different groups, especially when the lines of these groups are based on arbitrary rules.

You're still making a distinction between "family" and "not family," and as long as there is that distinction, people will always give more weight to one than the other. If there's nothing wrong with being "not family," then there should be nothing wrong with being "family," either.

Look at you. You're so determined to keep people out of your exclusive club that you're patronizing everyone you're not letting in. "It's not that we think less of you, it's that you're thinking less of yourselves!"

Fuck you. My partner and I are a family and you can go suck a fucking pinecone if you disagree.

AYRT

Look at you. You're so determined to keep people out of your exclusive club that you're patronizing everyone you're not letting in. "It's not that we think less of you, it's that you're thinking less of yourselves!"

...no.

I DO NOT think that. And not only is it disingenuous, but it's actually offensive that you've made that assumption.

You know what the truth is? I can't stand the people who are supposed to be my "family," and I am a member of a childless couple who has three cats. I am not the member of some special club that is denying you access. I am someone who thinks that the term "family" shouldn't mean anywhere near as much as it does.

It's true that, as humans, we divide one another into categories. But the fact that we do so does not mean that we must, or should, accord them "separate but equal" status. And if it is the default of humanity to do so, then we should fight against it honestly rather than buy into labels that perpetuate it.
