Natalists: "If new humans don't like existence, they can tap out." Also natalists: "I'm not 100% certain what's after death."

Someone told me being raped as a child is not a good reason to not have children lol

My grandmother was sexually abused as a child and my mother was sexually abused as a child. If they could not prevent it happening to me, knowing it happened to them, what would make one believe it can be prevented in the future?

Being raped as a child is not a good reason to not have children? Well, my child can’t consent to having the possibility of experiencing that and I’M not going to risk it. (At least) 3 generations in, I will be the one to end this cursed bloodline, and proudly at that lol

Knowing something like that is a possible doesn’t bother natalists?!

Another reason for antinatalism. Your partner might become an extreme abuser

My dad has always been abusive to me ever since I was 11 years old, and even now that I’m an adult, he has hit me in my head many times. I’m scared that I will have brain damage. I want to leave after I graduate, but that would be considered a cultural crime. I will still do it, even though I’m scared.

He has threatened me with death before, starting when I got my period at 11 years old. My mom said that now I can get pregnant, and that if I ever did, my dad would kill me.

When I was a teenager, he used to show me cases of honor killings and how those fathers were proud of what they did. He even told me about a man in my neighborhood who told his daughter that he would run over her head with a car if she did something wrong, and my dad said he would do the same. I was under 14 during this time.

When I was 16, he tried to strangle me because he thought I was talking to a boy.

I did escape at one point, but then I was homeless for two months, even though I had a job. I spent some nights in hostels or Airbnbs, but getting stable housing was very

I decided to go to a women’s shelter. They contacted my church first, and I spent one night with a church member. The next day, they contacted my parents, and I was sent back.

The domestic violence shelter also told my parents that I go to church, so I can’t go there anymore. Because of this, I feel like I have no chance of escaping. I even attempted to escape again, but my dad followed me.

Than I tried to escape again but even though I'm an adult the police sent me back even though I'm an adult and my dad constantly harassed me and I even have a psychiatrist and she believes my dad and my dad says he can just get a paper from her to tell the police that I'm unable to work or do anything and the psychiatrist support my dad and she even laughed when he said that im his property and I feel bad that some feminist still say that I deserve no sympathy or downplay my situation or say that its ok for dv shelters to only help women with abusive partners and some of them don't even know what honor killing is and its sad
