This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This started specifically with a couple who had a series of miscarriages and me pontificating and the value of fertility compatibility before marriage being a thing.

There isn't a lot of good data on could find on miscarriages as percentages. A lot of it is self reporting which isn't trustworthy on this charged of a topic. It's very rare for anyone to do the testing to determine why the pregnancy failed but what I could find was quite conclusive that it's genetic incompatibility with life.

And I really don't get the point of these strong emotions that it's sometimes environmental causes, like drinking or drugs somehow makes it not directly the fault of the mother. At least genetics isn't something we control.

People are fucking weird and not in the interesting way where they are expressing a uniqueness.

Conformists need their placated reality. 🤷

I never talked about drink or drugs. Are you dumb or a troll or something? Environmental toxin means pollution, and things like lead pipes that are still used all over the world. You're exposed to mutagenic agents everyday. Even without them random mutations happen anyway, like literally all the time. It's the same reason why cancer is inevitable in all animals (and similar diseases in other multicellular life). None of that is the fault of the mother.

I actually don't understand what you are talking about now. What does this have to do with anything we have discussed? Please explain.
