One millennial that seems to lack a moral compass wants “birthing persons” to speak out, possibly even pen an essay about how they regret having too many kids, having kids too early, or even having kids at all.
Maybe it could be titled, “I wish I had aborted you.”
Really, what better way could parents show their kids love and encouragement and ensure they grow up as well-adjusted, strong individuals?
Jill Filipovic, a self-proclaimed writer, lawyer, author and, apparently, flaming feminist, tweeted her call for people to speak out about their regrets about having children. To her credit, she was biologically specific when she put her call out to both men and women, failing to use inclusive liberal language that doesn’t exclude people based on their perceived feelings about their gender. Language such as “birthing person” or “vulva owner”.
I would really love to read more essays and op/eds from women (and men, too) who regret having children as early as they did, regret having as many as they did, or regret having children at all. There’s not much about motherhood that remains publicly unexplored, but that does.

She appeared confused by the backlash she received from her tweet, calling it a “total meltdown,” and calling the reactions “insane.”
Well the total meltdown in response to “it would be good to talk more about a real but extremely taboo part of adult life” pretty well illustrates why virtually no one talks about it. But it is wild to see such insane reactions to “hey maybe we should talk about this.”

Below are some of the “insane” reactions:
why would you *love* reading about parents who don’t like/want/regret their children? that’s hella weird.

Not me. I would really love to read more essays and op/eds from women (and men, too) who put their kids first, happily and eagerly, and love every minute.
I love being a parent so much, it is by far the most rewarding and fulfilling part of my life, other than being a wife.

What is there to regret? If your takeaway from Motherhood is regret, you probably did it wrong. Your kids don’t have to be perfect. Regretting giving them life = you need therapy and just how badly did you F those kids up, Mommy Dearest?

Basically you want to feel better about your life decisions by reveling in the misery of others.

Would you really love explaining to the children of said authors why their parents are publicly regretting their existence?

Filipovic appears to make her living on outrageous statements and radical thoughts.
In what seems to be the self-licking ice cream cone of liberal media, she apparently became a 2019 International Women’s Media Foundation Fellow and received two Society of Professional Journalist Sigma Delta Chi awards. However, she fell short in her bid for a One World Media Award, apparently being put on the shortlist but not actually receiving the award. She still lists it as an “accomplishment on her website.”
She may be best known for her book Ok Boomer, Let’s Talk: How My Generation Got Left Behind, which she apparently wrote so the Baby Boomer generation would better understand Millennials. No evidence was immediately found to support whether or not a single Baby Boomer has bothered to read the book with a title that appears to insult their entire generation.
