Ask a pronatalist what a woman’s most important job is, and they will tell you ‘motherhood’ without skipping a beat. Because that’s all women are to pronatalists: walking wombs, just vessels for creating the next generation. I cringe every time I hear a woman proclaim her most important job is motherhood. How sad. How self-demeaning […]
There has been an lot of antinatalism media coverage on mainstream media outlets to start off 2017, and for the most part it has been remarkably positive and comprehensive. The first piece came from Broadly Vice on January 3, which I covered on YouTube and generally liked, the shit title of the article being the […]
He talks about the risk argument, the gamble of life, non-existence and lack of consent! Really makes me think Doug has been reading up on antinatalism from the terms he’s using! I love this man so much for having the balls and brains to tell it like it is, no matter how dark and ugly. […]
Excellent little short on some of the taboos of being childfree.
I discovered social psychologist Jonathan Haidt’s work while reading Sarah Perry’s Every Cradle Is A Grave. She is a big fan of his and references his work in her own. So just today I discovered Jonathan Haidt runs a wonderful little website called YourMorals.org where you can take numerous psychological surveys to determine your personal […]
I’m fascinated by cults. This morning I am watching a rerun of ABC investigative news show 20/20, “Simon Says”, about a cult. It is airing on Investigation Discovery, owned by media giant Discovery Communications. This particular episode is referring to the Jonestown massacre in Guyana. Every single other time I’ve ever seen the photos of […]
For starters, the Pope hasn’t actually said anything about urging parents to have fewer kids, but “Presenter at Vatican conference claims”, just doesn’t make for a snappy headline in mainstream media like the Daily Fail. What’s more interesting is all the internal bickering and infighting within the Catholic Church over Pope Cuddly Grandpa. The Catholic news […]
The truth is, the friendly part is a shameless ripoff of The Friendly Atheist (though he’s The Atheist Voice now), who is one of my favorite atheist personalities and whom I’ve been a fan of for a couple years. I love his warm, considerate and thoughtful presentation style, and he’s very easy on the eyes […]
Think it’s easy for Western women to get sterilized? Think again. This Vox article is a poignant, heartbreaking and enraging story of one woman’s challenges on her quest for sterilization. People in this world have no idea how hard it is for rational, intelligent, and stable individuals to get the reproductive medical care that […]
I’m creating this blog to share antinatalist/pessimistic/misanthropic articles, memes and musings in addition to my YouTube videos. I also really enjoy the blogging format and like having my own little sandbox to play in that isn’t Facebook or Twitter. And I’ve noticed there seems to currently be a shortage of active AN blogs on the […]
