Random Old Memes and ✨Stuff✨

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 Expect a mix of slightly outdated: mostly leftist (but never tankie) content, many cats, and some general old memes I’ve collected over the years.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.

You do realize that medical issues skyrocket in a woman’s 30s, right? Like scientifically it is becoming late to become pregnant.

That’s not sexism that is the unfortunate truth of biology and pretending it isn’t a problem is a bigger problem than it being talked about openly.

Stop letting facts get in the way of the narrative 🙄

Feel free to read my other comment which you conveniently ignored for an explanation why it is.
(also proving the research is as sexist as the field it was conducted in doesn't make the point you think it makes lol)

It isn’t. Do you not understand that male fertility drops but in general never goes to 0? Females literally stop being able to produce a baby. Again, biological process not sexism.

Male age for sperm is insignificant compared to a woman’s age, there might be some complications that arise from it but they are nothing compared to a woman of equal age.

The term “geriatric” just means “older than the intended age” not whatever you think it means, which is probably “old person”. This is scientific/medical speak not layman terms. You’re getting upset at the medical institution for telling it like it is, when women get older they 1) stop having the ability to have kids and 2) start introducing lots of complications to pregnancies.

As for the rest of the post most people are going to agree, a woman’s life isn’t just about having kids. No one should feel like they have to or even want to.

But do not lump that line of thinking into the same as medical issues.
