Regardless pregnancy and birth being an highly stressful and toll taking endeavour for a woman's body, many still opt to have large families, out of their own volition.

I really don't see how much clearer I can get in my wording.

You could say that about a lot of things. Boxing enacts an extreme toll on a boxers body, in training, in match prep and in the fight itself, yet many of them continue to come back to the ring.

Sometimes the thing that is a struggle and exacts a toll has a reward that makes it worth it. It doesnt mean the struggle to get the thing wasn't difficult or debilitating.

You're right and I whole heartdly agree with you.

I was trying to express that exact same idea on my first comment, with obviously disastrous outcome.

Yeah, I got confused by the numerous / large there.

Some peeps get away with having two families, but it usually is the guy because it's easier to father children on "business trips" than to do a whole pregnancy.

How many of them lived to adulthood?

qyron@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 1y

Only two died. One fell off a wall at 6, the other was attacked by a dog. Most never married.

At least 18, one of them is sterile due to age and bad nutrition.

What on earth is the implication here?

Edit: I've learned far more about this man's personal life than I wanted to, wtf lmao I feel so bad for his kids

Elon has like a dozen kids and his dad compares having kids to horse breeding and believes that the only thing we’re here on earth to do is have kids. So I think the implication is that Elon is a fucking psycho who would allow himself to be impregnated in order to further grow humanity (which is something Elon has said he wants to encourage everyone to do).

Dude has a serious breeding fetish. He does not keep it to himself, at all.
