It's time for another childfree wank!
Boy, don't know where this came from, but just the first line was enough to spark my wank sensors:

"It’s so grueling reading all these entries." Which it may be, but then she follows it with a stern finger-wagging rant that concludes with the wank-sparking "What a hateful, immature, waste of time this community is."

Yeah. And it just gets better from there. Apparently [info]pen15club is under the impression that the childfree community is there to cater to what she feels are valuable discussions on the true meaning of childfree.

The members and mods disagree, and [info]pen15club responds with defensiveness, whining, and nonsense.

More interesting than your average troll, this one.

Edit: In case zannechaos deletes it, here's the original post:

It’s so grueling reading all these entries.

“I was in the store and you wouldn’t believe what this four-year-old did!”

“At church today some idiot brought her THREE whining brats and they sat right next to me, I wanted to THROW UP the whole time.”

“I had to baby-sit my brother’s STUPID little girl, it was so terrible.”

Have we all been listening to ourselves? Did it ever dawn on anyone what “childfree” actually means? It should be used to empower women, not cause more complaining in the world. Child-free is something that we all have the choice of being, what a wonderful country we live in, right?

In this community everyone is using something that could generate wonderful discussions about women’s liberation, feminism, politics, etc, as a means to generate post after whiny post about a 2 year old, god forbid, crying on the bus.

PEOPLE!

You aren’t thinking about the children, the mothers, or anything at all relevant to a community that bases itself around the idea of choosing a life without having to give birth and raise children. You are taking personal situations concerning ADULTS who lack good judgment, and basing all of your thought around that.

Some adults, like some children, are annoying in public, rude, noisy, messy, and loud.
Some children are intelligent, polite, self-sufficient, and quiet.

What a hateful, immature, waste of time this community is. If no one can offer up anything useful to me, my beliefs, or women around the world, I’m out.
