Ew, babies are gross

Though SWP has chronicled
how mass media and society have caused some of our law school peers to
fret about their ever dwindling ova, the main media story this week
(according to the Times and Newsweek)
appears to be how parenthood will destroy one’s life.  I kind of
concur; this quest to have perfect kids seems to be one giant
marketing scheme on the level of Valentine’s Day.  The neo-Marxist
critique of the family is starting to make sense (I have no idea if I
am attributing the last idea to the right movement; college is foggy.)  But, yeah, having babies is the tool of the man.

    Sometimes I think it’s lame to be so tied to convention… and I don’t really look forward to the stresses and responsibilities of the first several years, but man, I so look forward to when I can start indoctr— teaching my kids stuff, and brain wa– explaining the world to them from my point of view. Hurray for captive audiences! 🙂
