Comments by "Kate S" (@KateeAngel) on ""You don't know ANYTHING!" Peterson wants girls who don't know anything to have babies" video.

  1. I was 16 when I started university and moved to another city to dormitory. Now at 28 I am not sure I like this job anymore. So I can change it. That is the whole point - noone suddenly "wakes up at 35", we have plenty of time to change our opinions about anything. I am realised I didn't want either relationship or kids at around the same age, and I didn't just sit on that conclusion all these years, I thought about them many times seriously, so far I haven't changed my mind. Something tells me Peterson isn't afraid that I might change my mind when it is "too late" and be unhappy, he is afraid that I don't change my mind and thus don't make the decision which he views as "right one" in his own worldview

  2.  @colelewis9940  dude, I didn't say other people should stop doing their own thing for me. Just stop telling me what to do with my own life. That doesn't affect them. And people who don't want kids are waay more common than 1 in millions. More like one in a hundred, or one in fifty. Also, I am a professional biologist, and your impression about how evolution works is kinda wrong. The traits which get preserved due to helping to reproduce, aren't necessarily making individuals happier or have better lives. Hyenas in evolution developed an anatomy that makes 1 in 10 females die in birth along with cubs. No, what is evolutionarily good is not necessarily good for the individual being

  3. That is only because many women prefer to have kids after 30. I see no problem with that.

  4.  @colelewis9940  nope, it is significant. 1 in million maybe not. 1 in a hundred is somewhat significant. Again, if that amount of people isn't asking to change your own life but rather stop bothering them, like childfree people ask, or give basic human rights to them, like lgbt people ask, that shouldn't be a problem for you

  5.  @Anonymous-wp7lm  so? If a person has a sad life that invalidates their opinion? How many people across history, do you think had a bad life? With all the wars, epidemics, slavery serfdom etc. which were going on? I had depression and it didn't make make me believe that all lives are bad, but it opened my eyes on HOW BAD life can potentially be. It is not us who stay blind to the best parts, it is you who stay blind to the worst parts

  6.  @JustDoIt12131  wanting to have never existed and wanting to die are different things. If you cannot distinguish those, your brain is pretty smooth

  7. Also, I won't let bloggers tell what I want and what I don't, but also I won't let old men, like Peterson tell me that

  8. Talk to some childfree women who are 30+ years old, as well. And listen to them as well. Use your own advice, come on

  9. Infinite growth is impossible, so society should change to stop promoting that idea

  10.  @mr.greengold8236  I am very sad that my parents were not anti-natalist. I wouldn't have to exist and deal with stupid aggressive beings called humans

  11. Lol, in some 10 generations most of your descendants may not have a single nucleotide from you, cause of how crossingover happens. And sooner or later our species will be gone, thus in perspective everyone is genetic dead end, it will happen one way or another, now or later.

  12. People like him underestimate the age at which women's fertility significantly declines. Also, they don't care about women, they only care about women serving the "purpose" that those men want for us. The way they talk about women makes it absolutely clear. They don't view us as persons

  13. Why noone says to people who marry at 20 and have kids that they don't yeat know anything and are too young to make such a decision? At least I have never heard that. When I at 28 say I don't want kids and probably never will, some people call me "infantile", but many people who have kids at 20 get only encouragement and applause. This double standard reveals that it is not really about age, maturity, or person's happiness, it is about society coercing people to make "socially acceptable" choices by applauding those and insulting people, who make opposite choices

  14. Which troops,? They all are stuck in Ukraine

  15. Also why should I care about bunch of DNA molecules? Rather than about sentient beings, including myself? It won't be good to me if I have kids, it won't be good to kids, considering the situation where I live, it won't be good to non-human animals if humanity increases its numbers further but it will be good to some genes that may increase their frequency in population by 0.0000001%? So, why should I care?

  16.  @AlMondO93  I don't care about same genetic variants surviving after I die, rather than different generic variants. I am not arrogant, I don't think my variants are better than others universally. I am also a professional biologist, working as a researcher. And yeah it seems explaining why "genetic arguement" doesn't make sense scientifically to you would be like "explaining card trick to a dog"

  17.  @AlMondO93  also what charade? Breathing is charade? Lol. Being a parents has little to do with genetics in modern society. Adoptive parents are also parents and experience parenthood in full, while people who left their biological kids when those were babies, aren't real parents

  18.  @vulkanofnocturne  I don't know, where I live absolute majority of families have both parents working full time.

  19. Upper limit at like 45 years old, realistically

  20. Who we? I personally have zero chance of surviving after 2100, because you know, lifespan is not infinite

  21. As a childfree anti-natalist woman I am most disgusted by these hacks who try to coerce women to have kids no matter what, and pretend that they care about our "happiness". No, pro-natalist dudes, you care only that women "should" continue to serve as incubators for whatever political/religious/economic goals you think are important. Also, 35? Hilarious! My mom had me at 41!

  22.  @Anonymous-wp7lm  Did you really count the people who are depressed and aren't? Depression is more common than you think. And life of people is usually worse than they themselves feel like, cause they compare only with other people they know. I doubt you can trust judgement of a person whose point of reference was either dying from terrible disease or just suffering from it your whole life. Serfdom didn't have dehumanisation??? Lol what? In Eastern Europe and Russia it did, very much so, up until late 19th century. Your history knowledge is either very restricted or simply terrible
