Just FYI, my wife has two masters degrees and still was able to get pregnant, give birth and help raise a child with me afterward. So apparently it is possible for women to have advanced university degrees and have kids.

Incidentally, my mother also has two masters degrees, so apparently that was also possible in the 1970s without the population crashing.

Nobody says it's impossible.
And my wife has a college degree and has no impetus to work at all.

Her sister has masters and doesn't want to work either .
Riddle me that

You seem to think suggesting women get advanced degrees means we also think people shouldn't have babies.

Also, you seem to be making some stupid "women don't want to work" claim which is just nonsense.

[–] humble_pete_digger@lemm.ee -2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The only question I have - why advocate childlessness? U people seem to be making claims that if woman has kids - she's automatically a baby factory and a servant.
This is mindbiggling

Nice strawman you got there. Get it on sale?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

You introduced the idea of not wanting women to give birth in a conversation where the only thing brought up was women don't have to give birth to be valid. Women not wanting children is as valid as women wanting children.

The straw man here is the anti-natalism.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nope. The claim is that the tradwife is the one who thinks that.

Everyone else is saying she's wrong.

And your stupid "women don't want to work" implication is still stupid.

[–] humble_pete_digger@lemm.ee -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are u denying that not all women at all want to do the day job and then take care of the kids? I'm telling u not every one at all want to do that

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You do know that men can also take care of children, yes?

im a man and I have 2 kids and we both take care of them with my wife. and she does not want to work and wants to be a "trad" wife.
I think child-free propaganda is just silly, we are made certain way that are different for genders

Russian thinks he has a wife and kids, when in reality Putin has a baby maker and more cannon fodder.

You happy that your kids will die in Ukraine for no reason?

[–] humble_pete_digger@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

My kids? I'm an American.
I just don't like dumb propaganda. They offered many deals just to keep Ukraine neutral, which were all refused. And u know what - funding military industrial complex gets me absolutely nothing.
I just use critical thinking and not follow dumb media propaganda, u should try that

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Bruh, you're an American repeating Putin's bullshit about Ukraine being run by Nazis.

Americans have no excuse for being so ill informed, so either LMAO at the "using critical thinking", or you're a dumb fucking Russia bot.

[–] humble_pete_digger@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't care about the spin military Industrial complex puts on this. I do not care what happens to ukraine, zelensky should have never started this war. It's his fault and his alone . Clearly dude had no diplomatic or political experience.

It was fun and games harass Russia while it lasted, well guess what it's not some ghetto street he grew up on. It's real life - and he miscalculated.

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Oh so you're the type that sees Hitler invading Poland and thinks "doesn't effect me".

Go volunteer for Putin's army if you love his propaganda so much.

Jesus fucking Christ, the fucking idiocy of thinking that Russia unilaterally invading a country is that country's fault. Thankfully Biden is finally getting lead out of the water which will hopefully prevent this dumbassery in the long term.

My Russia vs Israel take:

Russia gives Ukrainians Russian citizenship and resettles them away from warzone with all the social security preserved: food, medical, shelter etc.

Israel just wants to murder all Palestinians: no medical, bombs hospitals, doesn't let food in, kills people indiscriminately

How can some people even see these conflicts as the same category? Israel is doing straight up hateful genocide, Russia is fighting for people they see their own.

~~Russia gives Ukrainians Russian citizenship and resettles them away from warzone with all the social security preserved: food, medical, shelter etc.~~ Russia murders some Ukrainians and kidnaps others and forces them to toil under their dictatorship to enrich Putin.

Ftfy.

Jesus fucking Christ do fucking better. What is wrong with you?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Cool. No one is doing any "child-free propaganda" here. You're taking the criticism of a tradwife saying women shouldn't worry about anything but child-bearing as some sort of anti-natalism thing rather than just basic feminism.
