I actually borrowed part of the title from a phrase I heard a long time ago - a woman’s error to “lust for a child.” Lust. The burning of the flesh to desire something. Most psychologists would call this “acting on your animal instinct” but since we are not animals by any stretch (ever see an animal design a Hubble telescope?) it would assume that humans are quite different, a creature of intelligence capable of being in control of our thoughts and actions. This also means having the capacity to think things through. So why aren’t some women thinking things through when they lust for a baby? Is the human instinct for survival so strong that these woman do not stop to think of their actions upon the planet, our natural resources, and ultimately, the men in their lives?

I came across this site today. It is pretty horrendous how some American women treat men in our society. Reading many of the responses tells me these women do not truly love their husbands or boyfriends at all, in fact, women who treat men as “wallets” are more likely than not to be able to have a relationship. Alas, in 2009 Common Era, human relationships are a dime a dozen in the modern world. Our breeding behaviors would fare better in 50,000 B.C.E. when the plant was barely populated and men had to hunt and gather food in order to survives. We have really regressed, haven’t we. I should not even say we, only a segment of our population has regressed like that, while the childfree are trying to keep our society completely from falling apart. Hey, tell the breeders about the quality of health care 50,000 years ago, if our ape-like ancestors even thought of such an idea. But back to the responses on the blog.

“I want a baby.” My quintessential response: “I want a million dollars.” I’d be amused if the husbands of women who make the first statement respond with one like mine in kind - guys out there, please feel free to borrow my response. Men are more rational by nature, which some women actually mistake for immaturity, which is funny, since the “I want ….” is something small children say, not adults. Not one person on the planet has ever gotten everything he or she wants in life - it’s a fact of life is unfair in many areas. There are a lot of things that “I want …….” but do not have either. The only difference is, a baby is nowhere to be found on my list.

Lusts can be extinguished in a number of ways, largely through education. Studies have shown that better educated women have little to no desire to have a child. The key word here is “desire” - women who are able to channel their energies into other areas besides just making babies lead productive lives and contribute to society. It beats contributing more tiny starving screeching mouths to a society in a serious economic recession (this is actually a great time for women to go to college to get a degree and not search for a baby making wallet.)

American society has a huge problem with glamorizing pregnancy and stay at home motherhood. It has destroyed the originakl intentions of feminism, and relegated women not to second class citizenship, but tenth class citizenship. Hell, why don’t the moomies and “burners of lust” just get Obama to sign a bill that states the word ‘woman’ be replaced with ‘chattel’. I am sure that would make them happy.

Last but not least, the ethics. Is it moral and ethical to oops a husband? Of course it is not. Marriages are supposed to be about putting the needs of the partner first before your own, but the burners of lust for a child have no concept as such - for them, marriage is all about them. We never did get out of the “Me Generation” - it is still there but in a different form. To finish off this post, I’d like to quote from one poster on the blog site who said: “As britgirl said, think with your head not your uterus.”

Enough said.
