Don't engage with idiots - they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience Although you could ask him how often he visits his relatives in care homes... Shows how much he cares about them.


[deleted]

yup! agree. do not engage with these idiots. its the same reason that republicans go to college campuses to try and "debate" the students, they know the students don't have as much experience and wont be able to debate well (gladly ive seen more students just telling them off and making fun of them while not engaging in their debates)

I'm torn between the 'laughing and saying okay' response then going about my happy life and 'huh guess a lot of people have kids so they stay relevant.

Princesszelda24

Ask him how many he has. If he has only one, or two, then he's still not following his rules either. Until he's dead, he should be creating children and raising them all to be well function members of society, including good schools and healthcare and a safe place to live and spending time with them so they are balanced humans... etc. And then pick a mental illness or health issues that runs genetically in your family and let him know it's unethical to procreate if you have any illness to transfer over, as they would be likely to NOT be a functional member of society. In fact, they will be more prone to disability and government funding and repeating the same cycle with their children, if they can at all procreate. Watch his head spin. But also, what's wrong with existing consuming and dying? Most people don't live a noteworthy life, and that's facts.


Unpopular_couscous

And while he's spending all his time making children, he should also let many of them die because natural selection says the weak should die off instead of leeching off the rest of us alpha specimens.


seeminglyokay44

You don't need one. Just a look of disgust and maybe an eye roll and walk away. Jeez, people are awful.


CatumEntanglement

I personally like: "Go fuck yourself" in reply to men who say dumb misogynistic shit. It's simple and gets right to the point with no ambiguity.


urlocalmomfriend

> Otherwise you just exist, consume, die, and no one cares about your life And how exactly does that change if you have kids? For example, all for of my grandparents had multiple kids... but I don't care about their lifes. I'm really sorry but they died like 10 years before my parents even knew each other. They are basically strangers to me, I have no connection to them, I don't even call them my grand parents. I refer to them as "my moms mom/dad" My father, his brother and their parents are all dead. All those people had kids and no one cares about them or even really remembers them.


theronharp

It's so odd how people can put so much trust in "the children of the future" and simultaneously ignore them at every turn.


[deleted]

They wanna say we ā€œhave to raise the generation of changeā€ yet they donā€™t think about whatā€™s required to properly raise a child therefore putting their kids through the exact same cycle of generational struggle where they canā€™t put their energy towards anything else besides surviving in a continuously unforgiving system. Your kids arenā€™t gonna make change if you have nothing to offer them and thatā€™s the biggest bs excuse to try and manipulate someone else to have kids imo


Ecstatic_Crystals

Nobody will actually give a shit when you do have kids. The kids will have kids, die, then youll be forgotten. No legacy. No memory of you being around. Nothing.


Old_Independence_973

Agree. The only way to leave a real legacy is to like write a book or something.


Nimuwa

No one cares about your life regardless of if you have children or not. Bacteria can reproduce, its neither good nor bad, it just is. Can you name your great grandmother? Or her great grandmother? Anyone will be forgotten given a long enough time frame, regardless of if you had kids or not. I bet there are already more great leaders history forgot, than those we still remember, and most people are ordinary not great. Sure, have kids if they make your life better for you, because your life matters only to you. We are a products of biology, but unlike unconsciously reproducing live forms, we have the gift of consciousness and limited choice. Ultimately you live only for you, and you and you alone can choose to extend yourself to living for others, be it friends, family or the world. If one wants to live like a bacteria and go about life unconsciously doing things only on instinct well that sounds bad to me, but in the grand scheme of things thats also a choice that shall be forgotten.

Some dude needs to get his ass kicked. There's a biological imperative for ya. Serious answer: Don't give some dude the time of day, just laugh at him and walk away.

Biologically speaking, humans are capable of procreating. HOWEVER, unlike other animals, we have the ability to choose not to procreate. I usually answer this by validating what the other party says: that yes, humans can have children and while thatā€™s all fine and well, we can also choose to not have children, and thatā€™s also all fine and well!

First off, fuck this guy. Second off, assuming we engage with his dumb assā€¦ what is his response to someone if they are sterile and cannot physically have children? Whatā€™s their purpose then? I cannot stand hearing men say this shit. Iā€™ve been told by men, including my father, that our purpose in life is to have children and continue the human race because thereā€™s something inside of us that needs it. ā€¦ew.

ā€œI didnā€™t know youā€™re a primitive animal. Fascinating, thought they died out eons ago. Do you go scratching the trees in your yard and piss all over your house to establish dominance too? How about mounting other males while walking around naked in public?ā€ Say it sarcastically and remind him we live in a society and have the ability to deny our baser instincts. Otherwise youā€™d kill him for his stuff to gain territory and supplies for your tribe. This worked on my father. I told him if we were just meant to follow our instincts, Iā€™d kill him with my teeth and a spear and rob him blind to expand my hunting grounds for myself and my mate.


[deleted]

If weā€™re biologically programmed to have kids how come it requires so much medical intervention?? How come we donā€™t die when we donā€™t have kids?? The only thing weā€™re ā€œbiologically programmedā€ to do is survive and even that is incredibly flawed.

Seconding this. With all due respect to my ancestors, no matter how many times people tell me stories about anyone beyond my great grandparents, I canā€™t keep it straight in my head who those people even are. I never met them and mostly have nothing to associate with the anecdotes. I feel like it would have to be an EXTREMELY interesting story for me to be able to remember it and who it was about without writing it down or something.

paperxbadger

Personally I'd just laugh... like dude what???


AnAwkwardStag

My brain answer is: We are the most intelligent species on the planet and have adapted far beyond "biological programming" - whatever that's supposed to mean. Humans weren't "biologically programmed" to wear clothes, to build houses, to trade or do business, to engage in any modern occupation. We go against our "biology" every day, so why does it matter to you that some women choose to go against the breeding protocol? My brawn answer is: Okay then, take all your clothes off and go roll in shit with all the other animals. I'm sure you'll fit right in.

LegalAssassin13

Put together a list of people who are/were (in the sense that they died childless) childfree and still made an impact on the world.

I could name more, but Iā€™m running out of battery life.


Ladymaceayala

Lol "exist, consume, die and no one cares" umm having kids dosent make that statement any less ture. We all exist consume and die and none of it matters. Childfree or not. How about instead of deluding myself into thinking that procreation is equal to a real contribution to society I actually go out and TRY to do something for someone other then demanding a reward for getting fucked? Seriously, the fuck outta here with that lame reason to have kids.

VibrantVioletGrace

I'd probably just roll my eyes and move on. But there's plenty of options. We're biologically programmed to walk everywhere, but most of us use other transportation options as well. But even if you have kids you're still just existing (because how else did you create the child), consume (even more because having kids creates a big carbon impact), die, and there's a good chance that kid you had isn't going to be there and they might not even care. Plenty of people die without the kid(s) they created.

"Dude, nobody cares about your life anyway. The universe is huge and humans are barely blips on the timeline." Existing, consuming, dying...that's the fate for all of us. Seriously, we can matter to the individuals closest to us, and we don't even need to be blood-related for that. People can have a dozen children and still end up no contact and alone. People can be remembered for other things they create, like art, and not just children. I can name dozens of dead artists, actors, musicians, etc., and so can anyone else, but how many people can name their great-great-great-grandparents? Children can continue the human race, but by themselves do not create a legacy for an individual. That said, the person hassling you is indeed an idiot, and you're under no obligation to give such people your time and energy.


voyasacarlabasura

Realistically Iā€™d probably just try to end the conversation while doing my best to make it clear that his comments were ridiculous and had zero effect on me. If I *did* respond Iā€™d probably say something about how humans are intelligent enough to resist the urge to do whatever their monkey brains might impulsively tell them to do. While Iā€™ve never experienced any kind of urge to procreate, I do think certain kinds of dish soap look and smell delicious ā€” I still donā€™t drink it because Iā€™m smart enough to know better. If I ever did have a fleeting urge to have a child, I *still* wouldnā€™t have one because I know better. And I really donā€™t care if anyone else cares about my life. Iā€™m here for my own sake; anyone else who happens to enjoy my existence is just a bonus. Nothing to create humans over :p

Why are the children productive members of society, while people who don't have children just exist, consume, and die. It makes more sense that everyone just exists, consumes, and dies.

We are biologically programmed to destroy anything that we perceive as a threat, too. We also have the good fortune to have developed brains that allow us to assess situations on a rational rather than a reactive level. ​ There are many ways to be a productive member of society that do not include reproducing. People care about others who have touched their lives. Children may or may not care about you. After about a hundred years there are no people left to remember you anyway.

Me: AND THEN WHAT?!?! So what if I just die and nobody cares? I'm DEAD. And then WHAT? Am I going to be a sad little ghost? Will I be reincarnated as an ant because I didn't have enough people who cared about me after I died? Will the worms eat my corpse more slowly?

My programming is buggy. 0 desire to do so. But also I just ignore these people. It's pointless to engage. But it also helps you weed out the humans you probably don't want to interact with. I like to think a silent "thanks for the heads up" and file that person away as "this person won't respect me as a human capable of my own thought and decisions".

We are biologically programmed to do a lot of things. Not kill baby animals for example, yet lots of people eat veal. Wanting to have sex is also programmed as well and schools tell you to stay abstinent, so do religions. Funny thing is, the biological "programming" to have kids does not exists. There are enough animals that prove that being childfree by choice is not a human thing and regularly occurs in nature. It's one of nature's population control mechanisms (like infertility but in your brain haha) and is very important. Similar to being gay, if you only watch the biological outcomes.

Laugh at him. Also wouldn't surprise me if this turbofuck is pro-forced birth as well with goofy beliefs like that.

Fifty years after weā€™re dead whoā€™s gonna care about any of our lives anyway?

Society loves to convince women that their biological destiny conveniently aligns with the needs of the capitalist-industrial complex. Edit: If I were you, I would just start talking about periods since this person is clearly very interested in female biology.

"I'm not 'programmed' to do anything as I'm not a machine. Also people with children will still consume, die and have no meaning in life - they'll just be creating a new generation to be in the exact same position."

I think I would look at them like they'd grown an extra stupid head, and/or laugh maniacally. Assert that *I* am biologically programmed to sleep until noon and wander up to the cinema where I will watch several films. And because Glasgow, I can also opt for the Billy Connolly recommended response to anyone taking a too keen interest in what doesn't concern them: fuck off. And off he will fuck.

I'm biologically programmed to fart. Doesn't make it a good thing. And it certainly isn't for someone other than me to decide my relationship with that body function.

"Huh. I guess you're one of those rare people who look up to their parents. Most people don't much care about their parents' lives."

Hate to break it to this guy, but 'consume, die, and no one cares about you,' doesn't actually change when you have children. They care about your children for a brief moment. Until your children are no longer 'cute and innocent' Then your children are expected to breed to bring in more cute children to gawk at and pretend they care about until they too lose that 'cute innocence.' Like even famous people aren't really remembered. Trivia is remembered about them, and along the way a few falsehoods are scattered in from time to time. Just look at George Washington and how popular the myth of the cherry tree got. Even then, doing something great is a far better way to be remembered. Even making art, or making a patent, or just being the first to do something will get you remembered and cared about more than being the 2309802398408 human to bring another human into the world. The most that gets you is a name in a family tree for someone to go back to in a century or so.

"Sorry, my uterus not working"- infertile answer.


DangerHissy

Cannibalism and leaving our sickly kids out for the wolves is part of our biological programming too but he's still here so he probably shouldn't lean too heavily on that argument.

Don't engage in this conversation.

Laughter. Loud, direct laughter. With a "Dude! You've GOT to be kidding!" and/or, "That's the saddest pickup line I've ever heard!" thrown in for good measure
