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.

I think that if a conversation like this must happen at all that it must be a conversation. Questions on "writer's block" are not a conversation, and we just get to see people parade their worst bullshit.

Right now I'm unconvinced that the primary problem facing humanity is overpopulation. It's more a matter of who gets the resources and who works to supply many of those resources. The situation is currently untenable because it's built on the concept of economic exploitation of less powerful nations and marginalized people.

The other thing is that I am pretty much entirely opposed to eugenics, which I think this kind of large scale handling of procreation seems almost guaranteed to jump into at a breakneck pace.
