My father was the fourteenth child out of sixteen siblings. I’m very familiar with this type of family setup.

Regardless of women who want big families, 16 children is abuse. Both of the mother’s body and of the children as human beings.

I’ve given birth before as well. It is dangerous to have pregnancies back to back.

Women didn’t have nearly as much choice back then.

I fully agree with you re: most of your points, and don’t necessarily disagree otherwise, just trying to not expect the worst of people I don’t know based on a photo <3

That’s fair and sorry to be blunt. Your intent was to see the good and I do appreciate that.

And likewise, I appreciate your vigilance looking out for others who may be oppressed, where bluntness is so often overdue.
