[I'm a female]
I'm currently at a point where I feel like I've saved a fair amount of money and could support myself for a while without a steady source of income (with a a relatively inexpensive lifestyle- no car, no house, no family), but I do sometimes worry that I will accidentally get pregnant (shit happens) and what appeared like a substantial amount of savings for one person won't be enough for two.
Anyway, so there's that. But I think I'll swallow that particular paranoia and go for it someday soon anyway. :)
- Joakal 16y agoI'm curious, why is there a fear of pregnancy?
- YuriNiyazov 16y agoBecause condoms break and people forget to take pills. Is this a genuine question?
- Charuru 16y agoMost people I know would say that's easily solvable by abortion. What I'm thinking she means is that she might suddenly decide that having a kid is a good idea. In which case the question is justified.
- Joakal 16y agoYes, as a wannabe male founder, worries about pregnancy are pretty low on my priorities list even though I would have to make cutbacks to support her. But I didn't think even pregnancy worries should prevent her from enjoying her life, or being a founder as she mentioned that the paranoia is stopping her. Heck, wouldn't it be a great inspiration for a female founder's project getting major traction while pregnant?
- YuriNiyazov 16y agoNo. A Startup is all-enveloping, and a pregnancy is all-enveloping, and there's only one person
- Joakal 16y agoWhat do you mean by pregnancy as all-enveloping?
- YuriNiyazov 16y agoSame thing I mean by startup being all-enveloping. A startup fully takes over the founder's life. A pregnancy fully takes over the expecting mother's life.
