I’ve always hated when women point that out as a point of qualification to something. I see it as somewhat equal to a male saying he’s qualified for something because he has a penis. Having a child doesn’t make you an expert in anything, not even child barring. We literally need experts for that; doctors. It’s wording to manipulate you into seeing the person in a certain light. Oh she’s a mother? That means I can’t say anything negative on the subject of children or her character.

Also, it’s possible to disagree or criticize someone without “siding with Republicans”. They aren’t the only ones who do that. It’s sad that anyone needs to make that distinction or put up that disclosure before saying anything remotely unpopular for fear of being called a replican. Both parties have fine people, both parties have terrible people.

Did you ever get pulled over in it? If so, how did that go?

Asking legitimately. What has he done that is “racist towards Latinos”? Every time I see this said online, it’s the same out of context stuff that is debunked or proven to be out of context, and then ignored by the person that said it. Round and round. I hate the guy as much as the next. I think he’s a narcissistic, lying, immoral ass. But racist towards Latinos? I don’t see it.

I totally see that and I understand what you’re saying, but I wonder, would you or could you ever tell anyone, especially someone you don’t know, that they don’t have those qualities because they don’t have a child? Like me for example. I’m a male. No kids. I feel compassion. I’m smart. I try my hardest to enrich the lives of people around me. I would literally die if it meant doing the right thing. Saving someone else’s life for example. Now, having said that, are you better than me or do you feel those things more because you have a kid? Those qualities aren’t a guarantee. I’ve met shitty parents, I’ve met great parents. I’ve met shitty childless people, I’ve met amazing childless people. It’s all relative and therefore completely irrelevant. All just in my opinion of course. I’m sure people have lived lives and gone through experiences that would have them trust a parent more than a non parent, and that’s fine. I can’t imagine my opinion changing after having a kid, since I’m mostly being logical and not so much emotional, both fine things by the way. Not putting anyone down. But eh, who knows.
