    I’m not. It’s not about sex.

    I wouldn’t have had kids if I thought they would suffer, obviously. You have kids with the hope and ambition, and belief that they will fare well. It took me years to build up the confidence in myself as an adult to even try to have kids.

    No child can ever give consent. Does that mean we should also neuter all animals? tHeiR ofFsPrInG WiLl sUfFeR. Like where does this make sense? This is a fundamental necessity of life that you’re trying to talk out of somebody. It’s innate. If you don’t understand it, you don’t feel it. And we are at an explanatory impasse. That’s why we have to agree to disagree here and now.

    No hard feelings. 🤝 But please stop acting like I’m some villain. Thanks.

    Oookay, now that’s uncalled for. I am strongly against rape, and only for consent. This hasn’t nothing to do with the urge to have sex, and only to do with the want to start a family and pour love into my own kids like my parents did to me. Nothing else.

    Don’t go there, that’s not a cool argumentative approach. Don’t do that, please. Thank you.

    Alright. People want to have kids no matter what. It’s instinct. You can’t “talk people out of” their instincts. You’ll waste your life in this endeavor, even if you would be correct. I hear your arguments on a logical level, but it doesn’t help.

    Take my advice and find another goal, even if it stings. Take care! ❤️

    I don’t live in America, no.

    I feel like you have too much anger for me to talk in a reasonable manner with you.

    You can call me a cop-out and whatever ad hominem you like. I just feel like talking with you would exhausting, no offense. We don’t share the same world view because life isn’t the same all over the world. And that’s sad, but having a child in one part of the world isn’t the same as another.

    Feel better, alright? I hope you cope through this. ❤️

    I feel like we disagree on a fundamental level. You feel like life isn’t a gift. I feel like it is.

    Agree to disagree.

    Also we don’t live in such a horrible place, we are actually thriving compared to a lot of places/countries, and we had our kids even before COVID, when the world in our immediate surroundings was a bit better and brighter. There wasn’t as much doubt as to our immediate safety back then.

    Have a good one, friend. 👍 Hope your outlook on life improves eventually. ❤️

    We must go on, don’t we. We have to try.

    Also a lot of people have children because it’s instinct. They feel the urge. It’s biological. Both me and my wife had this feeling. You want to create something that you will love.

    I know all the arguments for not having children, but we are just animals following instinct sometimes/often.
