Got sick of bigots, and pedants, and trying to figure out if something is “meme enough” to count, and of feeling like I’m spamming other spaces, and very quickly of the lemmy UI too (still love you blahaj.zone!) so am opening my own space where I can make my own rules and post my collection in peace. ❗BE WARNED: SOME OF THE IMAGES YOU SEE HERE MAY NOT TECHNICALLY BE MEMES❗ Now that we got that out of the way, let the infodump commence! Expect a mix of slightly outdated: mostly leftist (but never tankie) content, many cats, and some general old memes I’ve collected over the years. There are many, so will try to mix it up! Update: looks like 🐝Beehaw🐝 have banned this magazine. If you want real leftism rather than "nice" (more like "unchallenging to the status quo and the comfort of libs") leftism, I guess you'll have to follow from elsewhere!
Teach girls it's okay to not want kids. Or even like them.
That they can be functional people without being a mother.
That deciding into their 30s they want kids isnt bad and they're not "too old."
Teach girls that they don't have to sell their youth to kids.
Because motherhood isn't for everyone. And we need to stop acting like it is.
Even just the term "geriatric pregnancy" is sexist nonsense, we never even consider the age of the sperm contribution, let alone dub the person who made it "geriatric" in their 30's, or even run any extra tests or anything despite there being a ton of research in to the many potential risks of being conceived by old sperm.
All pregnancy is risky and all should be treated equally.
This is the stupidest take. Geriatric is a medical term. It’s not referring to intercourse so why would the act from either partner be referred to as geriatric? It just means they need to take special precautions because the age of the person impacts whatever medical condition, in this case pregnancy, in a potentially negative way. Not everything is a patriarchal conspiracy to devalue.
Editing to add that your original post is 100% correct though and is definitely a change our society needs.
Rigjt, it's pure coincidence that men don't get called it until they're in their 70s or 80s despite how relevant (more tham the egg contributor) their age is to a pregnancy..
Feel free to continue to buy in to the systemic sexism in the medical world, someplace else.
The term geriatric fathers was used.
Now days we call it advanced X age.

It’s never been sexist, you’re just ignorant on the subject.
And yet, women are still geriatric at 30
You're not making the point you think you are
35, if it makes you feel better. Statistically, older sperm has a much less significant impact than older eggs/uterus. I’m not sure if they have data on whether older eggs implanted in a younger surrogate have the same effects.
I’m not saying calling it an advanced age pregnancy is great, but the science doesn’t seem to be lying.
lol, the term is used situationally. Women aren’t geriatric when in their 30’s. The PREGNANCY is geriatric. God you're daft. People are not geriatric, their conditions are and each one is unique.
You should post sources because you are completely full of shit lol
You should do your own research if you really give a fuck lol
(you clearly don't which is why I won't be wasting my time doing it for you)
