125. It applies. Women, more so than men, need to realize they will always be more
responsible for children than men. For a woman to ignore that fact, is not wise. That's the reason I opted to have no children. Women need to be taught this, and women need to be cognizant of that fact. To ignore that, or to place more importance upon getting pregnant to get, hold, and keep a man (which happens more often than not in some of these situations), shows a lack of self-love on the part of the woman herself and any offspring she might engender.

It's HARD AS HELL to bring up children. They cost an inordinate amount of money to raise. Someone else here said it correctly when he said children impoverish one. They do, unless one starts out ahead in life.

I agree with you in this, that Repukes already do plenty of attacking of the poor, and we should never lose sight that the Repigs never counterbalance those attacks by attacks upon the mega-rich thieves and gangsters that have impoverished this country and redistributed the wealth of this country to the top. However, as a female who early on realized that I was at a disadvantage the moment I had kids, I think females need to open their eyes and stop lending themselves to the stupidity of having kids to keep a man, get a man, hold a man, dream that the kids will magically make them happy, and ignore the monstrously difficult task that is even raising ONE child.
