The fatalistic, egotistical and selfish attitude epitomised by women being unconcerned about losing their uterus
I agree that it's fatalistic. But it's the opposite of egotistical and selfish. People with healthy egos generally care a lot about whether they will their lose organs, or their lives. The women in question apparently don't. From the article: 'So what? How long are we going to live anyway?'.
And maybe their lives suck so much that this attitude is understandable.
- eru 15y agoIt's more about caring about myself now, versus caring about my later self. It's probably better to analyse this in terms of discounting rates (i.e. interest rates).
