Tell them to mind their own business. You aren't going to convince them of anything, so just tell them you've made up your mind and you aren't their personal baby making machine, end of subject.
- _louisr_ 8y agoOr perhaps they would consider that the duty of childbearing & childrearing is the fundamental, undeniable linchpin of any successful civilization, and that their abdication of that responsibility at once betrays their family, their society, and their own bodies? And that their reasoning for not rearing children is incredibly and venomously selfish? If you wish to betray your lineage, your society, and yourselves, go ahead. Pathetically follow fashion and sterilize your body. But know this: You do not belong to yourself. You belong to your partner, then your family, then your town, and then your nation, and then the greater civilization. You betray all of them in order of ascending disgrace when you do not procreate. You are not an individual, and no matter how much obtuse justification you spout - your chest indignantly puffed out, in blind pride - you will never become a standalone machine of individual thought and biology. But, it's stupid and immature fun to snub Mom and Dad (which are really just avatars of your shared culture), and why should anyone expect anything more from those spouting such vapid, empty nonsense?
