This article on Childfreers might be one of the most awesomely funny things I have seen yet on the 'Net.

Moos can only dream of their children growing up to become bitter, angry jerks who hate their parents and spend their time on livejournal.

The amount of sheer, wanton bitchery on the childfree comms always amazes me. I mean, I'm childfree (but also still young), but jesus christ, the amount of energy these people expend on frothing at the mouth could be better spent taking a hot bath and calming the fuck down. There's misanthropy and there's pathological hate, and some of those people drift towards the latter.

You can always tell how people will be in other spheres of their life, too, based on what hate comms they're a member of on LJ. The anti-vegan people are famous for being frothing at the mouth rabid freakishly angry specimens of humanity. The anti-fat people are the same.

One of the most back stabbingly bitchy RPers I ever had the mispleasure of dealing with is an active member of an anti-vegan comm and an anti-fat comm, and in retrospect, looking at her posts there, she forms a perfect Trifecta of Bitchiness, and it doesn't surprise me in the least she was so much trouble.

I am really starting to believe that the whole hardcore childfree thing is mostly just a way for straight white women to feel oppressed without ever actually having to be oppressed. Because real oppression sucks. Real oppression involves stuff like being forcibly sterilized, or being gassed to death because you're an ethnic minority, or having your clitoris sliced off with a rusty knife when you're seven-years-old.

It's either that, or the hardcore childfreers live in a parallel, but seperate, world called Breed-Or-Die-istan, where everyday is an endless round of abuse from breeders, who will harrass any childless woman to pump out as many babies as possible. I must somehow avoid living in this world, because despite being a female of childbearing age, I never experience this harrassment.

I don't think it's psychologically healthy to hate ANY group blindly, whether they're children, old people, obese people, Jews, Mexicans, whatever. And for GOD'S SAKE I am not saying childfree people should become parents. Furthest thing from it. If anything, communicating with them has me in full support of their position that they should remain childless.

I think a lot of them are a) actually very young, b) poseurs, and c) hardcore animal rights/vegan types of the sort who simply hate human beings of any kind and idolise animals instead. As an omnivore who has yet to find another species with which I could sit up late at night drinking coffee and discussing poetry, I generally find that sort a pain in the backside. People who assume a dietary preference automatically make them morally superior and enables them to patronise others in consequence irritate the hell out of me. I know several people with illnesses which mean they are forced to have quite restricted diets, and I think a healthy person should be grateful they can eat anything.

At the same time, I don't think it's accurate to assume either straightness or whiteness on the part of people who are only visible in cyberspace.

Noooot quite. I'm a hardcore vegan/animal rights person, and I'm far from the vitriol of the child free people. I don't see the relationship twixt the two groups at all. I think you're making a lot of assumptions there.

Ah, Kali! You like the plants, huh? ;)

Me, I don't really have any problem with vegetarians/vegans. Although it really bites my ass when some of them claim not to eat meat because of moral reasons, then you see them scarfing down some mahi mahi or a chicken leg. Look, I don't care if it's technically not meat, that thing was flopping around till you whacked it's head off.

I really felt sorry for the veggie tourists I met in Turkey. Turkish food has lots of vegetables in it, but it's all cooked in animal fat or meat stock. The Turks aren't quite sure what vegetarianism is, except that it's possibly some sort of sexual deviancy.

I haven't had any animal protein except by accident in the last ten years. The "accident" involved a first date at a Burmese restaurant and being served a pork samosa by a well meaning but sadly mistaken waiter, and ended in me being green for a few days and forever associating the guy I was out with henceforth with acute nausea and falling off the wagon.

I'm a vegan for both health and moral reasons.

I do love plants. I'm deeply into botany. I love planting them, raising them, and KILLING THEM AHAHAHAAHAH!

Remember Mantis, the Avenger and Celestial Madonna who got knocked up by the plant-dude from the Cotati race? Everytime you bite into one of your succulent vegetable dishes, I want you to think about what you've done. YOU'RE EATING MANTIS' BABY DADDY.

Perhaps I was a bit presumptuous in declaring them white sight unseen, but I stand by my belief that they are straight. Gay people are rather unlikely to biologically reproduce with their partners, for obvious reasons, unless their names are Lex Luthor and Superman.

...may I metaquote you? Brilliantly said.

[transemacabre.livejournal.com]

Go ahead -- I'm bracing myself for a shitstorm once people happen across this post anyway. ;)

[kali921.livejournal.com]

Oh, I won't, hon, if you don't want the publicity. I just think you gave a very witty, dense and delicious serving of word.

[transemacabre.livejournal.com]

I'm actually very flattered you would offer. And goodness, I never post anything unless I'm prepared to support my statement. Just -- hardcore childfreers, ya know? DAYUM.

[kali921.livejournal.com]

Oh, they might flock here, and if so, it'll wind up on fandom_wank within twenty four hours. I can see it now because OMG the OPPRESSION of tax breaks and taking up the sidewalk with strollers and why do I have to pay taxes for Head Start?!

WHERE is that gorgeous icon from, btw? I keep meaning to ask.

[transemacabre.livejournal.com]

Thank you! The icon is Rose Red from Fables, it was made by helyanwe.
