Default Beautiful Child, Or Not

Also, I maintain that there is more to the story/firing than smirking and Rhiannon. People are just gobbling up Lindsey’s comments as complete truth. Has anyone here been fired? I have, once. Unfairly, but I did have some responsibility. But I refused to look at my contribution to the problem for several months. When I talked about it, I claimed 100% innocence and never told the entire story.

Finally, the band was very rude to make fun of her in front of an audience. She can talk as long as she goddamn wants. They don’t like it - tell her directly. What a bunch of obnoxious children. These people stopped liking and respecting each other a long time ago.

So what if Stevie and Christine never had kids? Does not diminish them one whit. Childfree people are full humans in their own right. And you're spot on about the mysoginism - no one says anything of the kind about men!! What if Stevie and/or Chris had kids, and left them at home with their husbands while the ladies went on tour...they'd be called 'bad moms.' But when Mick, John, and Lindsey leave their kids at home with their wives, it's considered perfectly normal.

Know what? I'm a MAN. A fairly selfish, self centered man. I live my life making MYSELF happy. It's all about ME.

Is it not plausible to say that if I'd had children, I probably wouldn't be the selfish person I am today? That I'd have a different outlook on life?

But I guess since I have a penis, it's okay to say that about me. But if I had a vagina, it's forbidden? Do I have that right?

I think its because the mom is the one who carried the child inside her so its expected that she would have a deeper bond.
