    A language shitpost? Interesting.

    "Embarrassed" was a word that meant pregnant out of wedlock, though we don't really use it that way anymore. The sentence could be read to mean "the thought of pregnancy makes me pregnant". I'm surprised Japanese comics haven't found this one.

    I swear Americans have a very weird hangup about people having sex.

    As an 'Merican, I cannot say I have ever met anyone who has this kind of hangup about sex. You should see the stupid sex reveals some couples do these days.

    It's a funny meme sometimes, but remember that old Ben Franklin sexy-timed his way across Europe. He was a first order philanderer. And Britain's dismayed complaint against US troops during WW2, “overpaid and oversexed.”

    Not only did my parents have sex (ew), but also, I didn't fuckin' ask to be here. Now I have to do shit like:

    • Have a job,
    • Pay bills,
    • Go to my job so I can pay my bills so I can go to my job so I can pay my bills so I can go to my job so I can pay my bills so I can go to my job so I can pay my bills so I can go to my job so I can pay my bills...
    • Brush and see a dentist regularly,
    • Wear pants,
    • Be anxious, depressed, autistic, and attention insufficient,
    • Take medications for the above conditions,
    • Poop,
    • Pee,
    • Eat healthy regularly,
    • Not get fat despite all of the easy to get calorie-dense foods out there,
    • Schedule checkups with a doctor, and eventually
    • Die

    And society (whatever that is) expects me to have sex and have kids, too! UGH.

    I hated telling my dad when I was pregnant. Admitting to your father that you have had sex is awkward, even if you’re 28 and you’ve been married for a few years.

    Embarrassment is an evolutionary adaptation that functions to make social situations work. Individuals who never get embarrassed are less likely to manage social cues, have sex and get pregnant and pass their genes on. So feeling embarrassed is actually proof of all the sex your ancestors had and you could be having. /j

    Source: none, it's easy to make up arguments involving supposedly evolved behavior. Never take them too seriously, they are almost impossible to disproof. Countless other explanations are possible. Like it could be cultural or a byproduct of another adaptation or a mixture of different things.

    Yeah and parents taking their kids to the playground is the worst. Perverts like that have no business being around kids!!!!1

    I like to point at pregnant people and say "I know what you did a year ago!"
    Before they respond, I add, "you went to [insert name of popular baby store]".
    /This initiates confusion. And then implies, like pet stores, you can also buy baby items and a baby.

    I once, very stupidly, shared that video with a mother who had recently been estranged from her young child.

    It was a bad decision on my part and, unsurprisingly, didn't go over well.

    When two people love each other very much, they can decide they want to go to a series of various doctors appointments where the mommy gets given new and exciting risk factors and complications and the other desperately tries to keep track of the paperwork.
    Then they have one final expensive doctors appointment and take home their brand new legal liability and tax exception, get ready for all of their new doctors appointments where everyone tries to sort the paperwork, skip sleeping for the next 6-36 months.
    Thanks to evolutionary trickery they will ultimately rate this experience quite highly, on average.

    I was so scared for my wife's well-being and our finances when we went in for an induced birth.

    Turns out that, health wise, I came out worse than she did; and the whole situation had very little (immediate) impact on our finances.

    Also, I got lucky because we got an amazing kid out of the whole situation.

    We had premature twins with some common, usually benign side effects. The "emergency C-section" and "dual booking in the NICU for a month" was just a whole thing.

    If it weren't for having good insurance it would have been financially unrecoverable.

    Nope, conception could have occurred via artificial means.

    Many children today have been conceived in a lab, without sex. Their parents may also have had sex but pregnancy isn't "proof."

    It’s interesting how in the Ancient Greek stories, the Gods would appear as mortals and impregnate people, whereas in the Christian tradition it’s supposed to be more of a magical conception.

    It highlights the community values quite well that an unmarried Ancient Greek lady may not have been ostracized for a pregnancy without a father, whereas in Bethlehem 2000 years ago we can infer that this was unacceptable.

    You could do IVF.

    Arguably more invasive but doesn’t require sex!

    Why be embarrassed to have sex? Be happy to have sex.

    Hey OP, guess what your parents did to make YOU! They had sex and I don't mean the normal kind either.

    They had wet balls slapping, pussy gushing raw sex to make you. They really went at it. For days at a time. Creampie everytime with fingers in the arse to stimulate. If you didn't like reading this maybe consider not shoving your weird morals in our faces we won't shove our cunts into your face.

    This is a bit unnecessarily mean. OP made a post about themselves and how they react to a very personal and intimate act being "publicized". While OP might need therapy, they aren't shoving jack shit in anyones face. Instead you're going out of your way to say things that you think would make OP uncomfortable.

    In bird culture that's considered a dick move.
