Thou maidenless cur are thus for a reason.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 hours ago

There's a reason he's "bitchless," and the reason is listed right there in the first sentence.

[–] jack_of_sandwich@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 14 hours ago

Pretty sure my mother was "bitchless". Though maybe there was a part of her life she never shared with us.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's fine. I'd consider it immoral to choose to bring a child into this world. Now, adopting one who's already been born, so their existence isn't your fault, that's another story!

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (3 children)

I'm not having children either, but antinatalism is so ignorant and we literally wouldn't have lasted this long as a society if people stopped having children every time world conditions were bad (there hasn't been a time in world history where a genocide was not occurring).

Passing moral judgement like this on people who choose to have children is both insulting to their intelligence while also ignorant of the entirety of world history.

Society needs both people with children and people without. You are not better just because you're not having children.

[–] sudo@lemmy.today 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

You're just imposing your human superiority like humans ought to/deserve to/need to exist. Humans are a fucking cancer on the Earth.

we literally wouldn't have lasted this long as a society

Can you demonstrate why that is a bad thing? Because your next thought in that sentence seems like a strong argument for why it's good.

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

You're kinda getting into enviro-fascist/eco-fascist rhetoric with the "humans are a cancer" talk.

That's rhetoric often pushed by the ruling class alongside food scarcity talk -- food scarcity that is manufactured by capitalists to convince us that rampant famine and starvation (caused by capitalism) cannot be fixed (it absolutely can given current technology if we stopped spending our resources on pointless wars).

Humans are capable of co-existing with nature quite well, actually, and we did for hundreds of thousands of years. Capitalism has only existed for at most 500 years, and feudalism before it had only been around since the 8th century in the common era.

The way it is is not the way it has always been, and the way it is is not the way it has to be. We are not the cancer, unchecked power is.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, that came off a lot harsher than I intended; "immoral" was a poor word choice on my part. I have no qualms with people (who are willing and able to be good parents) having kids; I personally just wouldn't choose to do so.

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I appreciate the clarification, I'm sorry if I also came off harsher then necessary, that particular wording just really gets to me.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

No, it was understandable you took it that way because it certainly comes off like that!

[–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Society will always have children. But for now it’s set up for rich children. I do judge people a bit for having kids in a society that refuses to offer them basic needs or economic mobility. Basically judge you for your ability to set your kids up for success. Not having the kids. If you’re offering them a bright future, great! If not… low key kinda selfish.

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (2 children)

I think people who have the means (can afford or have access to the resources) to have children and want to have children (as in, not to fix a relationship but actually want to raise children) should have children.

I do have an issue with capitalism making it so that having children is a privilege of the rich, but that is a moral judgement on capitalism as a system, not people having children (some people being forced to by that very system as abortions or contraceptives are not available to them, nor is sex ed).

But to judge someone's morality simply for having a child is arrogant and unfair.

[–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I agree it goes too far. I had a lot of friends in foster care and I think that will be one of those lived biases you find common with the anti-natal crowd.

[–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

There’s nothing more tragic than an unwanted uncared for child in my book.

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Please also consider fostering, you’re badly needed

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Most of them lived in a time where you could just rape a woman and her parents would pay you to marry her to keep them from being publicly shamed and ostracised.

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

For the latter part of that long time, the "payment" was the threat of being disappeared. See, "shotgun wedding"

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're bitchless because you're single

I'm bitchless because I have a boyfriend

We are not the same

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 1 points 5 hours ago

But doesn't that make you a..

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Referring to woman as "bitches" might be part of the problem.

Or, is that the "joke", I don't gen Z humor a lot of the time, it seems.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 8 points 1 day ago

He doesn't say he himself is bitchless. To the contrary, he's wondering what it's like to know this which implies he doesn't know which means he did got a girl and is bitchfull.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I've always hated this take especially considering how the music industry has a whole genre that specifically refers to women as bitches and no one is ever upset by it and women even dance and sing along to them.

But say it online and ho boy now it's a problem

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

I have always had a problem with it.

I prefer to think of it as having the bravery to end a bloodline that reaches directly back to the first earth organism. It ends here.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Depending how far back, pretty sure most weren’t consensual…

I am just the natural product of generations of slightly queer people having kids until finally my 100% queer ass was born.

But also: I do have a bitch. She's laying on my feet, keeping them warm with her soft fur.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago

But your grandpa had a brother that got none. 🙄

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Hahahaha...haha...

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 day ago

Is this incel humor? Is it supposed to be funny?

I mean. This is framed as humor but a lot of people genuinely think this way. Derogatory terms for women aside, if you're not happy by yourself you're not going to be happy with a partner. Unfortunately this is the sort of thing you need to understand on your own and internalize because the kneejerk reaction to someone telling you this tends to be "having a girlfriend/boyfriend/partner actually would make me happier"

There have always been people too weird to get laid. And if you're talking like that about the people that "deny partnership" it's a good thing that trait will not procreate further.

[–] definitely_AI@feddit.online 6 points 1 day ago

I'm kidless- not bitchless. Big diff.

[–] Sp00kyB00k@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Have you tried to have just a regular conversation with women? I mean I seduced my wife by saying 'Hi, how are you' and listening to her. Yes, men and women are not the same but if we treat each other like humans, you can actually have a nice time together.

[–] DomeGuy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

"Feminism is nothing more than the radical belief that women are people."

The differences between men and women are largely just fashion and custom. Women have interests, wants, lusts, and dislikes that are as varied as those of men.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

My wife tells me that's what attracted her to me. She said I could hold a conversation and listen.

Which is also what attracted me to her. She could talk and had her own mind. "Treat each other like humans" seems like an easy ask but I apparently scooped up the best wife ever because nobody had done that before.

I'm probably murdering my fathers surname if my aunts and sister follow Spanish surname custom since I'm not having kids.

Too bad.

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

People are talking like this in their 20s, like people never get married in their 30s or 40s lol. Chill the fuck out, develop skills and hobbies, and love will come.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, 20-somethings do NOT need to despair, although I would also add: make it a priority if love is something you truly want to find.

I see lots of people talk like this while not taking any active steps, as if the love of their life is going to knock on their door and tell them to stop scrolling and marry them.

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I mean, I’ve been married for ten years to a woman who sent me an absolutely unsolicited and unprompted message on OK Cupid, where I nearly forgot. About my profile.

Sometimes the love of one’s life does just knock on their door and tell them to stop scrolling and marries them.

Unfortunately for you, however, you are maidenless.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Same with childless. I'm the first in my entire lineage that will not leave offspring. It feels good.
