people are like “awww I can’t get pregnant so you shouldn’t get an abortion” and “awww my whole family is dead so you shouldn’t be no contact with your evil toxic family” get a grip. get several grips. pull yourself together.

I’m disabled so I think every able-bodied person should be running obstacle courses and donating 40% of their blood every day

this irrational “I can’t have it, so you SHOULD even if you dont want it!” worldview begins when parents say “eat your vegetables! there are starving kids in other countries”

so I think children in that predicament should immediately counter with “oh NO, why didn’t you tell me i have such unforgivable privilege? I canNOT ethically justify eating these vegetables now!”

and thus force their parents to actually think about what they’ve said and put in some work to come up with a whole different guilt-trip that maybe makes a modicum of sense this time
