Reproduction is the natural reaction to stress on any population. Notice it is the less developed countries doing it. So, how about the developed ones stop creating those stresses? That’s easier than convincing billions of people to give up their right to pass on their genes.
Thanks Citizen, but I didn’t see the Cambridge, but I did see the other uni. Maybe it’s a branch of Cambridge. That said, I really don’t think her ideas will catch on, because 1. she’s so far left that she’s right (and I don’t mean correct). IMHO, she makes the Religious Reich look moderate. 2. Peter Singer, Animal Liberation author, had extreme ideas, just as Ingrid Newkirk does, concerning animals. (Yes, I’m an animal welfare and rights activist, but 1. I’m a vegetarian, not vegan and 2. I don’t agree with everything they say) Their ideas haven’t caught on with the masses. They are either laughed at or considered extremists, which they are. I think this woman is right up there with them. 3. Her views, much like veganism, isn’t sustainable- which is her whole point, ending humans. People won’t go for that. Veganism has issues in that, for example, if you don’t use wool (which doesn’t kill the animal) or alike for clothing, what do you use? Cotton eats up all the nutrients in the ground, if done to cover everyone and polyester, well… it’s made of oil basically, not a good thing. So yeah, that’s one issue of many, but her views have just as many problems.

She has nothing on the Adams Family or the Munster, even in dress. What gets me is the animal abolitionist. I don’t think she realizes that if domesticated animals are suddenly set free, they cannot survive on their own. In essences, she’d be killing a lot of animals by abandoning them, which is the very thing she’s allegedly against.
BTW, if she is so into animals, why is she so anti-animal? She basically is intent on killing off the human animal (allegedly without genocide, I disagree though) and indirectly killing domesticated animals too. What happened in her life that she wants to “modify” her body or is she just queer? Why talk about sex and sexuality if you want the human species to die out? Does her horror film and Transgressive media include Rocky Horror Show? (Yeah, I know, I’m terrible. lol But they’re good and legit questions)
Professor of Continental PhilosophyIs that something to be proud of? Let's see,
The term continental philosophy, like analytic philosophy, lacks clear definition and may mark merely a family resemblance across disparate philosophical views. Simon Glendinning has suggested that the term was originally more pejorative than descriptive, functioning as a label for types of western philosophy rejected or disliked by analytic philosophers.[4] Nonetheless, Michael E. Rosen has ventured to identify common themes that typically characterize continental philosophy.[5]First, continental philosophers generally reject the view that the natural sciences are the only or most accurate way of understanding natural phenomena. This contrasts with many analytic philosophers who consider their inquiries as continuous with, or subordinate to, those of the natural sciences. Continental philosophers often argue that science depends upon a “pre-theoretical substrate of experience” (a version of Kantian conditions of possible experience or the phenomenological “lifeworld”) and that scientific methods are inadequate to fully understand such conditions of intelligibility
Wow, deep…!

I really like the way rayon looks and feels on a woman.
Its too slinky for me unless its used as a liner for my leathers. Then I can enjoy it, secretly.
@Write4U yeah, I agree, the term is nothing to be proud of, but you know how Millenials are always trying to change even our vocabularies. Politically I’m with them the majority of things they want, but socially and alike, I’m still part of my generation.

Oh, and using wood is a good thing?
You know what would be a good thing ? Hemp clothing. Hemp can produce the finest cloth and has an addition 1200 commercial uses, from paper to medicines, to building bricks.
More importantly, Hemp is a soil fixer and the best CO2 scrubber of any plant, Including trees. 1 acre of Hemp can produce more fibre than 20 acres of trees. It grows in all climates and can thrive on poor soils and uses little water, is relatively disease free, and requires very little maintenance.
If there is one purely beneficial plant in nature it is Hemp. Check it out!
Environmental and Economic Benefits of Hemp
Hemp is the same plant as marijuana, its scientific name is "cannabis sativa." For thousands of years hemp was used to make dozens of commercial products like paper, rope, canvas, and textiles. In fact, the very name "canvas" comes from the Dutch word meaning cannabis, which is marijuana. That's correct, real canvas is made from marijuana!Many years ago hemp/marijuana was unjustly banned. However, hemp has recently been rediscoverd as a plant that has enormous environmental, economic, and commercial potential. What follows are some fascinating facts about hemp/marijuana - facts that will shock most people:
The potential of hemp for paper production is enormous. According to the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, one acre of hemp can produce 4 times more paper than one acre of trees! All types of paper products can be produced from hemp: newsprint, computer paper, stationary, cardboard, envelopes, toilet paper, even tampons.
FACT: THERE IS NO TREE OR PLANT SPECIES ON EARTH CAPABLE OF PRODUCING AS MUCH PAPER PER ACRE AS HEMP! HEMP IS NUMBER ONE!
Paper production from hemp would eliminate the need to chop down BILLIONS of trees! MILLIONS of acres of forests and huge areas of wildlife habitat could be preserved.

And that’s just a start. The more you learn about Hemp, the more you discover about its beneficial uses. You know why Hemp is illegal in the US? Oil!
Hemp makes an excellent bio-fuel without adding to CO2 pollution. It recycles CO2 rather than being released from deep earth sequestration as with oil.
Write4U: “Oh, and using wood is a good thing?”
Unless you would rather use steel or another metal for building homes and furniture. Don’t know about smoking or grilling my food over hemp.
Does hemp produce oxygen better than trees? I can hardly envision the Amazon hemp forest.
I do expect that when they breed the feel good chemicals out it that interest in it will decline rather rapidly.

No not for all of us. Some of us are allergic to hemp, just as we are allergic to (sadly) wool. Cotton is good for us who are allergic to hemp and wool, BUT again that takes a lot of nourishment out of the ground that has to be replenished. Hemp can do the same thing. Thus, this is where crop rotation comes in handy as well as composting and fertilizers.
I am absolutely Pro-Life of the mother. The issues of life for the mother is the only issue to consider. Not by you. By the family and counsel of the mother.
Talking about abortion there is little everyone agrees with, but I found something: To force abortion upon a woman against her will, it is unlawful and not wished for. This idea could help to find common ground. Circumstances that force abortion upon a woman can be fought against. You can fight the sexual predator, and rape. You can educate sexuality instead of keeping the vulnerable stupid. You can place preservatives within insurance. You can provide the opportunity of adoption. After that you still can decide if you want to give love and compassion to the woman for whom abortion is a consideration, or if you want to fight her options.
You can place preservatives within insurance.Is that your common ground?
What right does society have to fight the mother’s option, if she’s decided after difficult deliberations, that she needs to do this?
Oh, but the father!? Oh but what? Does the father carry the child for nine months?
Out of curiosity @yoramdiamand, did you read Rachel Smith's essay? Did any of that speak to you?To force abortion upon a woman against her will, it is unlawful and not wished for.
No one is talking about forcing abortion on anyone. I happen to agree @Halster. The final decision to terminate a pregnancy or not is up to the woman, no one else… unless Mother Nature is causing spontaneous abortion (AKA miscarriage). Her decision is no one else’s business, except the doctor who is caring for her. The father can put in his two cents, if he’s around to do so, but in the end, the final decision is hers, which should end the decision about abortion, but no there are people who want to impose their will on women, basically enslaving them and traumatizing, forcing some to be baby factories against their will, with stupid ideas about a deity in which humans created, right down to what that deity thinks and does. It’s not the deity that bombs Planned Parenthoods and other Women’s clinics. It’s abusive human beings who wish to traumatize and do what they insist doctors and women are doing- kill and in this case, women, doctors, nurses, medical assistants, etc. Anti-abortionists (Anti-lifers, who think they are “pro-life” but really aren’t) have killed more humans than women and medical workers.
Hi, I Holland where I live the Rutgershuis offers Abortion and is also trying to avert reasons why a woman might need it. What I said is not any different. To my taste. Kind regards Yoram
Please, stop being selectively self-righteous. If you truly wanted less abortions you would be all in on eliminating unwanted pregnancies through education and birth control.
+1 to that. Abortion opponents have little actual interest in abortion. It’s about keeping women in their “rightful” place as the Bible and tradition lays out.
Please, stop being selectively self-righteous. If you truly wanted less abortions you would be all in on eliminating unwanted pregnancies through education and birth control.That's already happening isn't it? We have widespread sex ed and birth control and abortion is rare. (Just like it always has been).
good chance this is spam but it’s interesting.
