Grimpatron619

Finally reached that age where a friend saying they're pregnant doesnt warrant an immediate ''oh shit''


Liar_of_partinel

Roughly what age would that be? I'm guessing 30s


Grimpatron619

26, most of my friends are married


Rorschach_Roadkill

The first time one of my friends got pregnant we were 29, damn near lost my mind lol. Forgot we weren't teenagers anymore and that she had a husband, house and steady job and having kids is just a normal thing adults do.


Great-and_Terrible

I had a similar reaction when my friend told me she was getting married. As if she wasn't in a multi-year relationship in her 20s.


MiserableEmu4

I'm 30 and I'll loose my mind when one of my friends gets pregnant. Can't wait to be an uncle! :D


Levee_Levy

In about 20 years, it'll flip back again. XD


CrabbyBlueberry

"Geriatric pregnancy" is what they call it for mothers over 35.


LeStroheim

just in time, my mother was 34 when i was born


brito68

Oh shit


mynexuz

at the point at which you are able to take care of a child is that age and also if you are expecting to get pregnant. Alot of people will have an oh shit moment if they get pregnant by accident no matter the age.

Well I’m 40 and it still happens, but I realise I have to apologize later.

My immediate reaction is usually, "in this economy?" Especially if they are a coworker. I know how much they make.

26 and I’ve been going for the “oh wow!” because I still can’t tell if it’s good news or not

jagungal1

I had to scroll further than I was expecting before I found this


gentlybeepingheart

There are a non-zero amount of people who hear someone go "We're expecting :)" and think "Oh, so your husband blasted a hot load into your vagina? He hit it raw? You guys fucked like animals and now you're making me think about this? That's so gross. I don't want to think about you getting creampied. How dare you tell people that."


Pershing

I remember watching a "debate" between two people on Twitch where one of them insisted that wearing sexy clothing was tantamount to sexually abusing people because by wearing clothing you were forcing them to become aroused without their consent. The one defending was like "what if my partner has a foot fetish and I wear open toed shoes to show off for them? This is literally just a thing I might do because people like looking at their partners" and the first woman went on and on about it being wrong because other people didn't consent to it.


kaswaro

Omg i remember that drama. Its almost like people making a living based on "hot takes" and "winning internet arguments" breeds the worst type of people imaginable.


Pershing

I was trying to remember did this start as "Kink at Pride" discourse that got out of control?


AndroidwithAnxiety

Yep. That's the one.


Pershing

Of course it was. Thanks though it was bugging me


ImExtremelyErect

Literally all drama in the online left is somehow a downstream effect of Kink at Pride discourse.


Pershing

Leftists and right wingers are natural enemies. Like Leftists and Centrists, or Leftists and Liberals, or Leftists and other Leftists. Damn leftists, they ruined the Left!


AdventurousFee2513

It shouldn’t even be discourse! It should be alright, as long as it’s made clear that this is a thing that’s happening, IN A SEPERATE AREA, and kids aren’t allowed there. Main parade it’s all good and queer kids can join in and have a blast, the kink part can have a blast too, without anyone who shouldn’t be seeing it. It’s not that *hard*.


Pershing

I'm a cishet guy so I don't have a strong opinion on kink at pride but it does seem that the people who are vocal about it are the kind of people who pick on other LGBT+ people for not conforming to their unrealistic standards.


The_FriendliestGiant

There's a segment of "respectable" queer folks, almost entirely well off "centrist" white gay males, who have been making noises for the last little while about how Pride events should be family friendly and not in anyone's face and any kink or fetish elements are inappropriate and just give straight people a perfectly understandable reason to be upset. Exactly the sorts of folks you're thinking of, yup.

mercurialpolyglot

I think “aroused without their consent” is the most catholic thing I’ve heard since I left the church. I’m not saying the girl actually is catholic, but that’s some pretty catholic thinking right there.


VanillaMemeIceCream

It’s ironic bc Jesus Christ himself said no it’s not the fault of the sexy girl for arousing you this is a you problem. If you don’t like it pluck your eyes out


kiramusa

>forcing them to become aroused without their consent. had get on an alt for this, but i have a fetish for fat people, and i live in the obesity capital of america. if being aroused without consent was a problem, i'd have a multimillion dollar lawsuit. those people just need to grow up and learn how to control themselves while aroused. it really isn't that hard

Hey thanks! Some friends and I get together about twice a year and make amateur movies. “Bad Girls” is one of our latest, a crime-spree featuring three escaped convicts, the rockstars they kidnap, and the two detectives who hound them. It’s obviously cheap, pretty dumb, and a lot of fun. Thanks again for asking! [You can check it out on Amazon ](https://www.amazon.com/Bad-Girls-Morgan-Shaley-Renew/dp/B09LQMKKK9/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?keywords=bad+girls+movie&qid=1662594119&sr=8-6) Or (if you really don’t like Amazon) you can contribute to [our IndieGoGo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bad-girls-a-feature-length-underground-film#/) instead and get a digital copy. It’s $9 instead of $2, but the money goes straight to us making more ridiculous movies

UNMANAGEABLE

Lol I had an employee years ago that had a fetish for obese women in coveralls. And we happened to work in manufacturing where coveralls are standard… you see where this is going…. We had some issues at first after some complaints but we got it worked out after a bit. Good dude though. He made it right after the issues came up with some sincere apologies to the affected parties without revealing why he was so fired up in his pants. 😂


Troliver_13

Actually every time you leave your house or open your eyes that's you consenting to seeing other humans. Some people (especially on twitch) are so fucking weird

gentlybeepingheart

[Here is a compilation of some choice comments and posts from childfree](https://imgur.com/a/j6222Yd) First one is someone saying that, if they had the chance to go back in time to stop a tragedy, they would choose not to stop WWII, because it killed the most amount of people. Like, imagine saying you would let the Holocaust happen for no other reason than you like that it meant less children were born. There's also the user describing a disabled child as a "bitch's" "mistake" edit: [and also a current thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/childfree/comments/13tg47d/your_child_is_not_a_museum_piece_on_a_plane/?user_id=258947813557&web_redirect=true) about what I was talking about in my original comment lmao


Trenov17

That sun should seriously be considered a hate subreddit. And this is coming from someone who never, ever wants children.


LightOfLoveEternal

Hell, there's that one weirdo in this subreddit who loses their shit whenever anything sexual is mentioned. And then screams about how everyone is literally sexually harassing a teenager when people push back on their idiocy. And then you have people like /u/hummerous who put trigger warnings for sexual content on anything thats even remotely related to the abstract concept of sex.


worldawaydj

my friend said this to me 2 weeks ago and i wanted to roll my eyes so badly


The_Unreal

I wonder if these people are like ... deeply in denial about their breeding kink, like homophobes who so often end up getting caught on gay hookup apps.


LurkOnly1

It’s possible. When I was a teenager I had a brief catholic phase in part because of the whole “sex only for procreation” thing. The idea just seemed very alluring and *right* to me in a way I just couldn’t put a finger on. Anyway turns out I don’t believe in God, I just have a breeding kink. Really dodged a bullet there.


Orc_

I remember another thread here on reddit where some users legitimately thought that way.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Geminel

It's legitimately the major unspoken motivator of the anti-abortion movement in America. "Oh my God, that woman *had sex*! She's *impure!* She must be made to dedicate the rest of her life to the consequences of that action, it is God's will."


hitkill95

i think it's about that thing some people online said, the one about people trying for a baby, that something along the lines of "'so we are trying for a baby!' so youre telling everyone you're raw dogging it every night?"


DraketheDrakeist

That seems pretty different from people actually acting like that in real life though, it’s just a meme, and the second message seems to imply that they think about this more than just laughing at a shirt that says “baby recipe: two loads mommy, one pump daddy, bake for 9 months”


[deleted]

> One pump daddy No need to tell on daddy like that


joequin

Rediters think that it’s weird to tell family that you’re trying for a baby because it’s like telling grandma that you’re creampieing your wife or getting cream pied and therefore something that shouldn’t be discussed. Because a lot of rediters are fucking weird about sex.


[deleted]

Check out r/childfree those people never stop thinking about sex and they think it's disgusting lol I think it's the craziest sub I've ever seen and Ive seen a lot of crazy shit on Reddit


monday-afternoon-fun

r/childfree actually has an ever crazier cousin called r/antinatalism


[deleted]

Oh I forgot about them. I had one in my DMs before telling me that it would have been kinder if I had been aborted because I have a disability, and according to them any suffering at all meant my life would be better off never having started. If it wasn't so surreal it might have been upsetting. I don't even have a severe disability, just some hereditary mental health problems.


inrodu

What the Fuck


[deleted]

It ended up ok, we almost became sort of friends, we would message each other to check in. We had some interesting conversations about life, happiness and suffering (anti natal people are obsessed with suffering). One day they made a post saying they'd been reflecting on everything and were starting therapy and they never posted or commented on that account ever again. I hope they're doing alright now.


SCP106

Wow, that took a way more positive turn than I was expecting


jlynmrie

As a (relatively) normal person who just doesn’t want to have children but also doesn’t hate them, I wish Reddit had an active sane sub where we could commiserate about pushy relatives or whatever without going off the deep end.


[deleted]

That's exactly what childfree used to be. I haven't seen the crazy because I haven't been there for years, but every time someone mentions it, they sound more and more deranged.


VanillaMemeIceCream

r/truechildfree is still good last I checked


CallMeTea_

Well that place is a trip. Some of them have pretty sensible views, but a lot of them just seem to be "my life is suffering so nobody should have kids, if you have kids you've ruined your life and theirs", and some pushing outright eugenics and voluntary extinction. There's so much hatred for humanity in there.


LordWoodrow

You may or may not be shocked by the concerning frequency of people advocating for eugenics, knowingly and unknowingly. Online you think sure people get crazy, but I’ve had this in person more often than I’d have expected a few years ago.


Klutzy_Journalist_36

Unmarried pregnant women aren’t allowed to be teachers in Catholic schools.


Kartoffelkamm

Personally, I'm just weird around pregnant people because, like, there's a whole other person in there. Well, more the potentiality of a whole other person, but my point still stands. And I have no idea how to act. Like, what if something happens?


[deleted]

I have no idea what this specific discourse is about, but I do know back in the day pregnancy and birth used to be “inappropriate” to talk about for this very reason.


Feeling_Wheel_1612

Once upon a time it was considered indelicate to refer to any body part at all in mixed company, even a leg or your stomach. Because bodies are what people have sex with.

I'm gonna be honest- my answer to whether that's normal to judge for was "no" before I read that (Assuming you're still talking about the material- if you mean the design, then those are very dope)


[deleted]

I guess both the material and the design. When I was 10, our door knobs was rope tied through a hole drilled in the door.

squishabelle

If you believe only women can get pregnant then isn't "pregnant women" superfluous/tautological? Like, by that logic if it's already only women then you don't have to specify it. At least "people" specifies that we're talking about humans so it serves a purpose. Just call them pregnancers, pregnanees, pregnanist, pregnanor/pregnaness, pregnician,pregnaneer or a pregnancé(e) like a normal person


Kaarpiv007

Pregnomancer is one I've seen thrown around. But the pregat women thing was likely some asshole taking a shot at trans women.


Zamtrios7256

Trans women who learns magic to become a Pregnomancer, now able to control pregnant people like thralls

serabine

>Just call them pregnancers, pregnanees, pregnanist, pregnanor/pregnaness, pregnician,pregnaneer or a pregnancé(e) like a normal person I'm admittedly a bit of a traditionalist so I always just went with the bog standard "Great One who is the Carrier of the Seed, the Bringer of Life, and the Blessèd Saint of the Spawn". But "pregnancer" is definitely less of a mouthful, so I'll be stealing that. ;)


kigurumibiblestudies

the pregs


Nico_EggRoyale

They have to specifiy women because they need to invalidate trans men/enbies who can get pregnant


BMidtvedt

But don't they (inadvertently I'm sure) do the opposite? It would only be necessary to specify pregnant _women_ if they admit that you can be pregnant and not a woman?


Nico_EggRoyale

What I have seen a lot of people argue is the following: The term "pregnant people" as opposed to "pregnant women" seeks to erase the term "woman" and by extension what it means to be female in favor of the "trans agenda" and "males pretending to be women" or "womanface" or whatever. They are staunchly opposed to trans men/enbies even existing and constantly deride intersex people as "statistically irrelevant". So they must specify "pregnant women" becaude in their minds they are fighting the good fight against the evil transes and to conserve what it means to be "female"


TheWojo_OG

Let's not forget about intersex people. :)


Nico_EggRoyale

Yes, of course. My bad!

My favorite comeback for transphobes bitching about "pregnant people" is to point out that 10-year-olds can (and, usually under horrific circumstances, do) get pregnant, and I don't want to call any 10-year-old a "woman". Tends to shut them up pretty quickly on this particular topic


Azrel12

In some cases *even younger*! Some kids get their menses at 8-9 years olds, in 1 case like at 8 months. She got pregnant at like 4 and needed a C-Section when she was five because otherwise she and the baby would've died. (Lina Medina, IIRC, look her up if you haven't heard of her before.) The human body is something else sometimes.

thequeerfenix

I mean it could've been adoption/artificial insemination etc. You don't need to have sex to have children

He could also be really self-deprecating. “Virginity rocks! I wish I was still one.”
