Writer's Block: You and me and baby makes three

Oh, what the hell, Livejournal? What kind of inane, misogynist question is this? Were you wistfully wondering why there wasn't enough eugenicist talk lately? Did you think that women needed to be reminded that our bodies are never considered to actually belong to us? Did you just feel that it was a good time to have a rip roaring classist, misogynist, ableist party?

You're not even trying. Just throwing out questions wrapped in fake edginess and inviting your readers to show the worst of themselves to the world.

Seriously, stick to the fluffy questions. Don't bring anyone's human rights under debate. It's sickening.

Randomly came across your answer to this question - I'm glad I did too because all the other answers were seriously scaring me!

So, in response, THIS!!! :)

Thank you. Sometimes I wonder what they're thinking when they put something like this up, like who thought this was an interesting question to provoke thoughtful discussion?

I only read a few answers, and all I can say is gross and scary. :(

I don't know, but there doesn't seem to be much "discussion" at all. All it did was remind me how ignorant and judgmental so many people are!

Yes, and this isn't the first time they've asked a leading question like this. I just wish they'd stop doing it.

OTOH there are so many people out there that I now know to never engage in a conversation.

If I had a paid account, my notes would be overflowing.

The question appeared a couple of times on my f'list, and the discussion there was all in the context of whether IVF should be provided on the NHS, which I think is a reasonable question that doesn't have an immediately obvious answer.
