No it doesn’t. People fuck, kids happen. Recognizing people have human compulsions but don’t want to deal with the consequences requires forethought, whether that’s a condom, birth control, or sterilization. Fuck off with you “an issue that resolves itself” bullshit. Responsibility and self-awareness prevents it.

I have no idea what you are saying, did you reply to the wrong comment?

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

No. The implication that people who don’t want kids somehow don’t end up in situations where kids are produced is ludicrous. People don’t fuck just to make babies, but since that is a possibility, avoiding that outcome is a responsibility. Not everyone who doesn’t want kids automatically becomes a bad parent when they do occur, and not everyone who intentionally creates kids is a good parent.

No, people who call kids ‘disease vectors’ shouldn’t have kids, silly billy.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Your original reply implied that people who hold such a belief somehow end up not making babies because of that belief. I continue to suggest the onus is on people with that belief to prevent them while knowing that it’s quite likely they’re going to fuck, and frankly, your opinion about their reproductive rights and bodily autonomy is irrelevant. I mean, what’s your proposal, comb people’s post histories for comments like “disease vectors” and take their kids away when condoms fail or a pill is missed, or do we just sterilize/castrate them beforehand?

[–] gurty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

I said shouldn’t , not don’t. I think you need to work on your comprehension. I don’t know why this has set you off so much, but I sincerely hope you get the help you need.

it’s an issue that resolves itself.

Explain how people not wanting kids “resolves itself”. Do you think they don’t have sex?

[–] gurty@lemmy.world 1 points 29 minutes ago

People who dislike kids and don’t want kids are less likely to have kids. I’m sorry but is there someone around you that usually helps you when you are talking to people?

[–] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

$20 days they have at least one kid they didn’t want to / weren’t planning on having.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 1 points 37 minutes ago

I’ll take your $20. Snipped at 23 because, as I’ve been pointing out, the responsibility of preventing unwanted children is on the potential parent who’s disinterest in reproducing is neither a disinterest in sex nor somehow prevents sex from occurring.
