DA- Some people just find parenthood and all that entails attractive. I honestly don't see how that equals misogyny.

*don't find parenthood yadda yadda attractive.

Sounds immature to me. I mean, in person, if the single somebody you're flirting with turns out to be a single parent, I'd understand saying, "Nope, children aren't for me (right now or ever or whatever)." But finding out a fictional character is a parent and nopeing out? That seems like, "Daddies/mommies aren't cool or sexy - nopppppe." But people are more than the role they fulfill. As in, you may be a daughter or a son, but that's not the ONLY thing you are. So it's pretty ridiculous to just cross all the parents off the list because they're somebody's parent. But then you see a lot of that around general fandom spaces. It just always seems immature.

Enh... usually attraction has possibility of leading to a relationship, so to me, noping out on someone when you find out they're a parent if you don't ever want kids seems like a good idea to me.

Whereas yes it might be strange to nope out on a fictional character (or an actor or whathaveyou) because your attraction won't lead to a relationship, but sometimes it's a visceral reaction that's been conditioned by you noping out from real people. It's possible they can't help that reaction even though the person isn't 'real'.

To me that's not immature. I don't ever want kids. If I found out someone I was dating had them (or wanted them), I'd be gone so fast I'd leave skid marks. That's not immature, that's prudent. Why lead someone on when you're not compatible?

This. I never, ever want children, so my reaction would be the same. There's no point in investing energy and emotions into a relationship when you know that you aren't compatible on a very important, fundamental level.

Very much this.

Except, to some people (me included), daddies and mommies AREN'T sexy. And since fantasizing about fictional characters is all about fantasy, why waste time on something you don't find attractive?

It's okay to not like things, or to not be attracted to certain traits. Some people just aren't interested in parenting, or being in relationships with parents. And this crosses over to fantasy and fap material - if I didn't like blondes, why would I fantasize about a blonde actress? Same thing.

Also - once you're a parent, if you're a GOOD parent, you're one for life. It's definitely not the only thing you are, but children aren't something you can just handwave away.

NAYRT, so now you're saying that it's not misogynistic, it's immaturity?

(Anonymous) 2014-01-17 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not the misogyny anon.
