No Seriously Though

Why does the human reproductive system suck so bad?

We mate for life, first of all, which is evolutionarily irresponsible (though that's mostly cultural I think), we raise our children for nearly two decades, we have a silent fertility cycle so no one knows when fertilization is possible, and that cycle had nasty byproducts that could lead to

Our reproductive system is the worst. Especially because instead of just following whatever biology tells us to do, we have ~society~ to tell us things that don't make sense on top of whatever natural urges we get.

I don't think I'll have children, just doing my part to help the overpopulation problem. I could adopt, but apparently children raised in two-parent households are more stable later in life, and I'm not one to believe in long-term relationships.

The universe kind of sucks.

Ugh, SOCIETY *shakes fist*

Speaking of society and reproduction, I suggest reading this. It's pretty much the shit.[ http://www.mum.org/ifmencou.htm ] It's by Gloria Steinem, who is a feminist writer/BAMF.

My friend and her two sisters were adopetd by a single woman, and she's pretty much awesome. I wouldn't let society and it's lameoid statistics tell you not to adopt children. Just saying.

I wonder what it would be liked to be raised by a fangirl? First word-OMG?

JK I love you.

Oh god, children raised by fangirls. That's pretty much the entire next generation, holy shit.

I'm just imagining an addition to the baby book: BABY'S FIRST SHIP. Probably Aladdin/Jasmine or something.

So bizarre.

Also, that article is amazing.

BABY'S FIRST SHIP.

You win.

We should write a baby book.

My first ship was Blue/Magenta :)
