You’re gonna have to live with the fact that people will form opinions about you based on your actions.

Pondering how to control humans reproductive rights is certainly something you’re allowed to do and the rest of us are allowed to ask why.

There are no good answers when it comes to population control in this way. It will always involve harming people.

Any population control question is going to be in bad taste.

I’m not the only person to have a bad reaction to this question and you know it.

There are no good answers for population control that doesn’t include torturing humans.

And I said in another comment that it is similarly cruel to force vasectomies and control men’s bodies.

I just find the question distasteful. I didn’t say you’re trying to control women, the question is fundamentally about controlling women.

Alternatively, it’s just as cruel to control men’s bodies and force vasectomies.

It’s just a terrible question, dude. Not forbidden, but yeah, not a lovely thought to entertain.

Those two children are still coming from mothers being forced to birth them.

Still forcing women to birth two children each.

How’re you getting two children per couple?

Not when it is a two child policy - women still birth those children.

Fundamentally this is a question centered around controlling women’s bodies because it’s women that bear and birth children.

Women are the ones being either forced to birth two children or forced to abort to stay at two children.

That you didn’t even think about how a policy around number of children allowed affects women is astounding.

This question is looking specifically at controlling women so yes people are going to react negatively.

There’s no pros to controlling women’s autonomy and bodies.

I’d happily pay more taxes for all of those things, absolutely agree.

I said I was curious, not that it’s forbidden.

Yeah and it’s cruel. I’m still curious what OP was thinking when posing this question to the community.

There’s no answer here that isn’t a disgusting look at how women and fertility and birth is treated.

Because many other professions also do a lot of prep work and advertising that gets built into their pricing. Like…most professions do that, not just sex workers.

Forcing women to terminate pregnancies is as cruel as forcing them to be inseminated.

What’s your point with this question?

Your argument that sex work is different from any other work because of the prep time is faulty.

Again, you’ve taken a shower thought way too literally.

There’s many careers that one builds the cost of prep into the final product. Do you think wedding photographers are only charging for their time on site? No, they build their time editing the photos and paying for equipment and marketing into the cost. Same as sex workers.

No one actually thinks this is a valid way of figuring out cost of living in an area. It’s a shower thought.
