I actually did see a few of those posts as they were happening, and I don't agree with them. I remember disagreeing once or twice and some other woman replied saying that it's fine to basically emotionally neglect (though I'd call it abuse) your child if it ends up being a boy. I was pretty disgusted. I can understand why someone wouldn't want to have a boy if they view all men as evil, but for that same reason, why would they want to have a girl? If your view is that you're giving birth to an evil oppressor by having a boy, why would you want to create more victims by having a girl? If that's how you think then you just shouldn't be having kids at all, because either way you're just bringing more suffering into the world, right? Though that's actually how I feel about having kids in general since I'm antinatalist, so yeah, I obviously have my own controversial thoughts on this subject.. Lol

Yeah, I really don't get it. I'd seen a few posts from one user fantasizing about having her perfect daughter to raise and it made me wonder, so, uh, which shitbag man are you going to carry that child for?
