My whole life, I’ve been a San Francisco/Los Angeles Liberal Arts person with jobs that have shaggy rugs, and you bring your dog into work.

I’m the typical black rimmed liberal glasses person. You’d never expect me to be Conservative unless you saw me at home in my Kanye/Trump shirt.

I’ve always hated kids, and people who had them. But now that I’m redpilled, even going to Church sometimes, I feel like I’m kind of obligated to have one. Like if I don’t I did something bad. Los Angeles would be a crazy place to raise kids but people do it all the time.

Sometimes I think I’m not naturally conservative, but I am because of how crazy liberals are, so therefore it’s ok to not have one.

I do really like conservative values, but at the same time my lifestyle is so different. It’s odd.

If you're not married, you shouldn't have kids. Don't put the cart before the horse. Children are human beings who need both a mother and a father in a marriage relationship to love them and raise them. To do that, your lifestyle will have to change from living how you did when you were single to living as a father and a husband or a wife and a mother. Obviously, some things can stay the same, but the priorities will change from yourself to your family. It is a sacrifice, but what you gain from making that sacrifice of yourself is greater than anything you can do alone, because you will have made a family.

I usually don't like other people's kids and I absolutely hated babysitting growing up. But once people close to me started having kids, I saw it was a way to get to re-experience everything that was fun about being a kid, with a little person who had never done it before, like play in a sandbox, visit the zoo, blow bubbles. But children are people, not status symbols, not "conservative" byproducts. I think celebrities use their children a lot of times to show that they can "do it all," which is wrong. Not everyone in the world is supposed to be married. But children belong with a mother and father. Marriage--real marriage--provides both mother and father with the security of a committed relationship to both each other, and to raise children.
