        My wife would agree. She has… so many womanly issues, but can’t find anyone to yank the damn thing out.

        She wants no children.

        I, her husband, had a vasectomy before we ever met.

        We have no use for the damn thing and it just causes so many problems.

      Welcome to lemmy. It’s a collection of federated communities. This community is hosted on lemmy.world, which employs similarly heavy-handed moderation tactics to Reddit.

      However, like all lemmy instances the moderators are rather short-staffed so you’ll probably be fine unless someone goes out of their way to report your comment.

      You can say whatever you please, but we all know it is hot air.

      White Christian Conservatives are some of the most insulated-from-consequences people in the world.

      I came here after being permabanned from Reddit, but I still get posts removed. I recently looked at my Mod Logs for the first time, and was surprised at how many removals I had, some for really stupid stuff that would have gone through at Reddit.

      Overall, though, Lemmy is a lot more permissive, especially compared to the new, post- HitlerPig Reddit.

        Federated stuff like lemmy really ends to with a much wider range of mods / admins. There’s still a lot variation between mod teams on reddit too, but there’s a lot more similarities there between the biggest subreddits (especially because of “power mods”, and more overlap in userbase & culture).

        Tldr expect weirder removal reasons here. And check where stuff is hosted when posting.

      The general population can barely hold attention spans on anything that doesn’t have at least three inset screens of people reacting and video games playing at the same time.

      I am not holding my breath that even the most “inflammatory” ideas are more than WWE theater and fans of the show yelling at the screen. Wake me up when there’s an actual, organized resistance that doesn’t crumble into leftist infighting and purity testing because someone said the word “retard” and now everyone is at each other’s throats. (On discord of course.)

      Lol, you don’t have to be celibate to be willfully childless. I have plenty of friends that got the snip/knot before having a kid because they don’t want one. And they are some of the sluttiest motherfuckers I know (and they’d take that as the compliment it was).

      The only Southern Baptists I know were really into demonstrative shows of family unity at church, but would frequently get into massive screaming matches where they’d kick their teenage kids out of the house. They’re divorced now.

    support policies that promote childbearing.

    …like making abortion legal in all 50 states again? Like comprehensive sex education in schools? Like treating women as people and not property?

    The most effective way for the Southern Baptists to promote childbearing would be for them to stay the fuck out of politics!

      Abortion policies are a DIRECT REASON why I haven’t had any more children. If I can’t have guaranteed access to necessary, life-saving medical treatment (e.g. emergency abortions) then I won’t put my wife’s life at risk for one more child.

      Part of conservatism is the idea that “the more complex a solution is, the wronger it is.”

      Another part is “We should be able to control women’s use of their hoo-hoos for pleasure by restricting them to being baby chambers.”

      Here we have a venn diagram where the circles are the same.

        Easy way to rule these fuckers out is to get them to say “vagina”

        If they can’t do it without giggling, offence, or claiming obscenity, out they go

      Note them prioritizing childbearing and not childrearing. Though they also aren’t prioritizing childbearing regardless of what they say.

        Note them prioritizing childbearing and not childrearing.

        A lot of these conservative groups have their heads fully packed with eugenics and social darwinian philosophy. The goal is to just keep popping kids out and come-what-may. Eventually, a large enough population will produce some ubermensch. And then you breed the ubermench to get your prodigies and your messiahs.

        It’s Genetics meets Calvinism. If you succeed, its because you’ve got the Purest Blood. If you fail, it is because you have trash DNA and should be cleansed to make way for the superior people who will follow.

      Southern baptists were pro-choice until the rise of the “moral majority” required southern baptists to fall in line with the catholic church on abortion to create the supply side Jesus we know today.

      I was kinda annoyed at the article for not giving any details on the kinds of policies they wanted there, even something as simple as better tax credits for having kids would go a long way towards making children affordable. And yet I am sure that’s not what these people are advocating for.

      They’re not miserable though, these kinds of sentiment are just cope. We have to stop reading things that appeal to our feelings and desires, that’s how we got in this mess.

      They’re generally much, much happier than progressives or leftists, because stupidity is directly linked to higher levels of short-term happiness and satisfaction from things like socializing and entertainment.

      I don’t think there’s any good lesson to learn from this. But I think we have to do a lot better to understand the motivations of the people who are trying to affect the world with their agendas. They’re trying to make the world as “happy” as they are, and will always fail because others are too smart to accept a magical sky-daddy, just like they’re too dumb to see the wonder of a universe without a storyline.

      Whatever happens in the near-term, we all have to continue to live next to each other so knowing what powers your dumb neighbors is more important than any other thing you could learn.

    That stance against sports betting annoys me so much, because that means I can’t just look at everything they stand for and say I want the opposite.

    Oh, cool! As a willfully childless person (even though I live with my partner and we have the necessary bits to try for children), I finally get to be one of the cool groups being ostracized by these stupid religious nuts. Hey Queer people! We get to hang out! Let’s party!

    (I’ve been watching porn the whole time. Just let me have my moment feeling special.)

    Willful childlessness is such a hilarious concept. I’m rollin’ around here.

    What are they gonna do? Check if you’re having unprotected sex sufficiently? Check how many miscarriages you’ve had? HAHAHAHAh. Fuckin’ donkeys.

        Story time - When I was a kid you had to get condoms through a family planning clinic or by crossing a border and many chose the latter. It was gone by the time I became old enough for it to be an issue for me.

        Thankfully I live in the same country where there would immediately be government ending riots if there was any attempt to ban any form of birth control. Hell, the cops wouldn’t even stop the riots, they’d probably join in.

        I hadn’t considered that though in fairness. It’s just such a crazy notion.
