    I’m not sure if child-free consciousness should come at the cost of doing disgust rituals at women’s bodies

    Also, that person is high. You can’t exercise away stretched skin or scars. Some brain worms should probably be examined there.

      I also dont think we should be body shaming a person for marks on their body which they had no control over them being there, mother or not

    Well call me unusual but even if my future gf , partner, or wife had a belly like that and they had never given birth I would still be interested in them. homestly Id be MORE interested in them if they had had never had children cause nah fugg dem kids , too expensive!

    The way I see it is that to be covered in scars, blemishes, acne marks, stretch marks, cellulite, insect bites, self-harm scars, burns, etc… is to be human. Human skin has always been and probably will always be imperfect. Deal With It. If you cant accept the blemishes that a person has om their skin which they had no control over having them there? You dont deserve to call that person a partner.

    I have a bunch of blemishes on me cause I ALWAYS get acne (I have to keep a boringly strict diet or else my acne goes absurd. Ive eaten nothing but homemade bread and eggs for the last month . THATS how boring and strict my diet has to be…) so I see no fault in another human who, just like me , is covered in marks and imperfections here and there. It is what it is. To be human is to be covered in blemishes and imperfections.

    Dang! I bet all the downvotes came from people who just saw the picture and moved on. This is a really important part of the post that was obviously missed.

    Misogynistic dummies like Mehmet are far too common.

    To the people calling this a “disgust ritual” and the like, I’d encourage you to actually read OPs commentary on the meme before going all the way off.

    And to the commenters talking like it’s somehow “body shaming” to point out one of the more noticeable physical consequences of pregnancy, those marks are absolutely always a choice. Maybe an exception for someone who’s in prison when they find out they’re pregnant, or so utterly impoverished that getting to somewhere abortion is legal is impossible, but anyone in either of those situations has way bigger problems than stretch marks.

      We should be tackling these way bigger prohlems first before we post any commentary on another person’s body. Heck, for all we know maybe she actually DOES ive in one of those places where pregnancy is often unconsensual and/or its consequences are often not dealt with healthily or professionally. 🤷🏿‍♂️

        We should also be tackling actual problems before defending a stranger against “commentary” that boils down to “why are you surprised by the entirely predictable consequences of your own foolish decisions?”

        I’m tired of pretending that parents didn’t sign up for absolutely every part of being parents. They get no fucking sympathy from me. They chose that and they’re inflicting it on everyone around them all the time who didn’t get a choice. My sympathy is reserved for the childfree people who just wanted to eat dinner or watch a movie and got an earful of screaming child and a case of the daycare flu for their troubles.

          …but what about victims of rape who live in places where birth controls , sterilizations, and abortions are not widely available?

          Did you read my previous comment? cause this is literally my previous comment… . OK so clearly you didnt read my previous comment. Thanks for letting us know that.

            Lol, sorry if it bothers you that I didn’t indulge the fairy tale you made up to create some doubt for this person to benefit from.

            Fuck the idea that anyone with kids deserves the benefit of any non-existent doubt. You have the whole rest of the Internet where breeders are assumes to all be perfect martyrs who can do no wrong. Don’t bring that insipid shit-smwlling nonsense to the few childfree spaces that exist.
