Hi,
I'm not Red Pill, but I recently began browsing this sub out of curiosity for what Red Pill people generally believe.
I wanted to ask you all what exactly is the relationship between being Red Pill and (for women) bearing children and becoming mothers? Are these two phenomena central to Red Pill ideology? Do you believe each woman should have the freedom to decide for herself whether or not to bear children or become a mother, or do you believe these experiences should be mandatory for all women? In light of the fact that pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding often leave a womans body permanently changed and damaged/injured (e.g. vaginal tearing) in both cosmetic and functional ways, do you believe it's valid and permissible for women to decline the experience? Moreover, if technology progresses to a point where gestation can occur outside the human body, how would you feel about that?
On a slightly different note, how do Red Pill people feel about adults of both sexes who desire to not become parents? Do you believe parenthood should be mandatory for all capable adults - even if they do not desire to take on the role and responsibility?
In your view, are feminity and motherhood inextricably linked? Just as a thought experiment: in a society in which the majority of women elect to have their offspring gestated externally, do you assume it will necessarily be the case that humans will essentially become genderless, or do you think perhaps there is a more nuanced future in which babies can be gestated externally, but biological and psychological masculinity and feminity still manifest in people?
Is a woman who chooses to abstain from childbearing and motherhood a problem, in your opinion? Do you believe women should ever be obligated or forced into these experiences/roles?
I ask these questions as a woman who doesn't want to be pregnant, give birth, or breastfeed due to the physical toll, health risks, and undesired aesthetic effects on the body...plus I just don't want a human growing inside of me. I also don't especially want to be a parent, although on that point I could possibly change my mind (it would have to be through adoption or external gestation though). I ask because I'm aware there are people with all kinds of different opinions in the world, and a sizable swath of the world's population tends to be more traditional than the modern West regarding gender. I doubt the solution to differing ideologies is to completely dismiss or wipe out the opposing ideology, so I'm trying to understand how - in a hypothetical world that's more "Red Pill", a woman like me could still live the life she desires and avoid fates she doesn't desire.
