[elialshadowpine]

Don't expect wealth and power, Romney warned the women of the Southern Virginia University's graduating class. Just get married and make lots of babies!

Your icon is so pretty.

Do you know where it's from?

Google tells me it's this picture. But the icon maker is tendericon and I have no idea where they got it.

Wow. Way to prey on the fears of young women. I'm turning 37 this year, and yeah, sometimes I worry I've missed my chance to have a kid, but I in no way feel that I've missed out on living by prioritizing my career. (And I would have been a terrible parent in my 20s anyway.)

I think the best parents are the ones who are secure in themselves and their identities, have happy relationships with the people they love and are financially secure enough to care for children. We have technology and adoption to take care of the actual conceiving part :D

I can't take this seriously.

I hate it any time some dude tells me that I should go out and have a bunch of kids (this has happened more than you might think).

[oncloud999]

Sorry! I'm ... and this is sad but ... so used to the horrible things that Romney says that it didn't even occur to me that people might think it is from the Onion. Unsure how much I can edit but I will edit the tag in if I can!
