OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 25, 2018:

@TheMiddleWay I disagree that having sex means you have to accept becoming pregnant AND continue that pregnancy when there are safe and reasonable options to end it. We are not living in the dark ages here. Again, according to the law of the land no one is legally required to put themselves in danger of bodily harm or death to save the life of another. Whether they brought about the circumstances or not is irrelevant. You CANNOT have a special law that requires specific behavior from only one class of person, while excusing all others. Therefore if no one is required to put themselves in harm's way to save another, and pregnancy carries the risks of death or bodily harm you CANNOT require women to continue any pregnancy whether you consider the fetus a person or not.

I strongly disagree with your stance on this for the reasons I stated in my post. Furthermore you have absolutely no right to demand that others lives according to your opinions. I detect more than a bit of moral judgement on people who have sex outside of your narrowly defined parameters. No one has elected you judge or jury over others choices, decisions or bodily autonomy. For this I am immensely thankful and I will fight you and those who think the way you do as long as I'm able.

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 25, 2018:

A lot of pro lifers think the way they do because they feel the fetus is a person. What they do not take into consideration is that the woman is also a person with her own rights and autonomy. It may be futile but I would hope to make them see that their ideas trample all over the rights of women in the name of morality. We have already decided,through our laws that no one can be forced to give up their bodily autonomy even to save others lives. You cannot compel even a corpse to give up their organs,no matter how many people it may save. Why then would you argue that a woman must give up her bodily autonomy for one potential life? Either some lives are worth more than others or women have less rights than corpses. Both of these positions are contrary to everything America and the concept of human rights are meant to stand for.

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 25, 2018:

@hankster yes. Loving someone doesn't mean accepting or approving of everything they do. Sometimes the person loved can become toxic for one reason or another. At that point it may become necessary to disengage. There are all sorts of ways to quietly look out for someone and support them without them being aware. (& Now I sound like a stalker) Also even if things do go terribly wrong the memory of that feeling and the understanding of what it is remain. Feeling that way about anyone forces you to grow and that growth stays with you.

Well said and so true. The effects of my "elective abortion" were much worse than delivering my two living sons. Side note, I was stunned to see that term on my medical record knowing the fetus had already died and my doctor ordered me to have the procedure as she was concerned about sepsis. People see the term "elective abortion" and make all sorts of assumptions. It's medical term that covers all sorts of contingencies not a phrase meaning"I just want to kill this fetus".

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 24, 2018:

And from the safe standpoint of never having to be in a situation where you have to choose between a fetus' "life" and YOUR future or health. There are profound consequences of pregnancy,childbirth and child rearing. The maternal mortality rates in the US are astoundingly high and climbing every year. Furthermore,if you don't die,you can develop lifelong health issues from diabetes to birth injuries to autoimmune disorders. Then once you're a parent there are all the concerns that come with raising a child. Can you work or otherwise support your family or must you be dependent on your spouse or parents. If you do work,how do you balance the increasing expectations of the workplace and it's incursions into your personal life? Do you have any idea the amount of administrators I've personally heard say things like"she has kids, I'm just not confidant she can handle the extra responsibility"? Even of you don't get stuck with misogynist bosses, how do you handle a job and doctors appointments and birthday parties and enrichment classes and the appropriate amount of social interaction and one on one parenting time? It's neverending and exhausting and no one who does not enthusiastically enter into it with a clear understanding of what it entails should be a parent.

OpposingOpposum comments on Feb 24, 2018:

Cool. My 8yo was actually talking about this the other day and was mystified. I have to go apologize to him. :)

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 24, 2018:

@phxbillcee Yes. He didn't have entirely correct though. He was under the impression that all poo contains gold.lol

Am I imagining things or are there suddenly a bunch of alt-right trolls on here?

dalefvictor comments on Feb 24, 2018:

I have no experience of this. Hope I have not offended anyone, I can get personal, but I always try to be helpful.

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 24, 2018:

You haven't offended me. If I thought you were a troll you wouldn't be seeing my posts. :)

@Insectra good point

Feminist?

Gatovicolo comments on Feb 24, 2018:

Are you a masculinist? Are masculinism and feminism mutually exclusive? Should men or women have more rights than the opposite? Should we advocate for a specific gender or just advocate for people in general. Perhaps feminism is a poor label.

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 24, 2018:

The thing is that feminism has always been about equality. Somewhere along the way some misogynistic trolls got the bright idea to claim that women want primacy over men and we LET them redefine feminism. There's not a problem with the concept or the word, the problem lies with people, like yourself,falling for propaganda.

Sex

LimeySteve comments on Feb 24, 2018:

A lifetime. No one needs sex. It's wonderful to experience, but no one dies from not having it.

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 24, 2018:

@SimonMorgan1 I'm picturing teenage boys attempting to guilt girls into sleeping with them by citing that study for decades.

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 24, 2018:

@AxeElf are you serious? Are you anti birth control as well? You genuinely believe that someone should not engage in sexual intercourse unless they're willing to ruin their lives and possibly end them should an accidental pregnancy occur? I'm going to point out that's it's extremely convenient for someone who is never going to be faced with that choice to hold such views. You're not in the line of fire for the real world consequences of such opinions. Pretty safe space to be making those judgements from.

Honesty.

SKDeitch comments on Feb 24, 2018:

Honesty about those things is a luxury that not everyone has. I grew up in and live in the relatively liberal north east United States. A lot of us, however live in the deep south where being public about lack of religion can hold one back economically and socially. there is at least one member of ...

A lot of angry and/or uneducated atheists around here...

Lancer comments on Jan 29, 2018:

I'm just here to have fun. Best part is being anonymous, since saying things in public just gets a feminist, SJW or triggered imbecile up in your face.

@orange_girl methinks I smell a troll angry at the loss of his "natural privilege".

This says it all.

Yeah, chicks SAY that, but then they always wonder why their male friends want to fuck them.

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 24, 2018:

@buck1977 uh no. I've been on the other end of that. I took the other parties at their word and shrugged it off. We're still friends years later and I still love them for all the reasons I was attracted to them in the first place.

My answer to the men pointing out there are amazing men here as well, and yes, I totally agree. What I do want to tell you is Women of a certain age are usually overlooked, diminished, and disregarded and frequently that is done by males. It is a fact we are in a white male dominated society.

At first, I read your first sentence as "addicted to math." I would say yes to that, but not to pills, etc.

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 24, 2018:

You know, I don't have an issue with friends having sexual attraction to each other. When people get angry at you and stop being your friend because you won't sleep with them is what bugs me. You end up thinking "was that the only reason they hung around in the first place?" (I'm fully aware that men AND women do this)

Is it just me or is there some amazing women on this site?

jlynn37 comments on Feb 23, 2018:

They are amazing because they are Agnostic, A-theist, Skeptical, Secular Humanists. Oh, did I mention that they are beautiful too.

OpposingOpposum replies on Feb 24, 2018:

I'm going to add that religious people can be great people too. I know some deeply religious folks who are that way because that's what they know. Doesn't take away from their kindness,humor or intelligence. They're just different.
