I am multiple right now. I don't have kids. I don't think I want kids, but being perpetually single, I don't know if that will change if I meet someone soon. I doubt it, but it's a possibility. Besides - only 3 years left until I'm 40 and then, regardless, these tubes are getting tied.

That'll change.
Not whether you'll want kids, you may or may not. Lots of people don't. But "if at any point" in the future you do want kids, I promise on a stack of Bibles that the kids you will want will be your own. The whole biological impulse is around the fact that they're yours. If you have the impulse, you have the whole impulse, not just an intellectualized morally superior version of the impulse. |

Perhaps she doesn't want to give birth, or carry a child. Perhaps she can't give birth, or get pregnant, or carry a child. There has to be more reasons to have that 'version of the impulse' than I could even come up with, being a guy and all. Maybe she's a guy. If she doesn't have the gear to produce children, is her impulse still an "intellectualized, morally superior version of the impulse"? Maybe she's adopted, and wants to pay it forward, so to speak. My aunt, who was adopted, couldn't have children, and would love to have had her own, but, she has fostered literally dozens of children. She didn't adopt any of them, but all but six chose to stay with her through adulthood. And they still treat her like their mother. There has to be many, many reasons for one to have that "intellectualized morally superior version of the impulse". Has to be.

You can marry into kids too. I had two stepkids for five years before I had a biological child.
Not saying I carried and delivered the child when I say 'I had'.. Duh.

Except she very clearly said, "I really don't want kids." You're right, she might be a dude, but Charise is a woman's name, so I took that at face value. I could be wrong, sure, about all of it. I got a vibe, is all. The "I don't want kids, but if I did I'd be a better person about it than all you people who do want kids" is fairly common among 23-year-old women. And young gay men, for that matter. The kind of people who refer to people with kids as "breeders." And like I said, it's totally cool if she doesn't want kids. And it's totally cool if she changes her mind. Life's going to happen to her, one way or the other, so whatever. |

Perhaps it's because women receive more comments about the "right" way to have kids than childless men do. It's a whole thing.

Not a woman thing, in general, but I see you edited your signature. . How come?

Paying very close attention there... It was just because I haven't updated it in almost a year, and I don't foresee doing so within the next year, if ever. It pays for its own hosting fees, so I'll keep it alive, but I don't have time to take and edit pictures anymore. I have a book to finish writing.
