Do feminists hate kids?

They always talk about how women are stuck with the burden of taking care of their husbands kids...

Does this mean that they don't even consider what comes out of their own vagina to be their own children?

Do they hate taking care of their own children while someone else pays the bills?

    Feminists hate male kids.

    Some do, but so do some non-feminists. Many feminists love kids. Many feminists are mothers. Some feminists are stay-at-home moms, even.

    The problem is when that is seen as the *only* role for women, or as the "right" role for women, rather than as one option among many.

    If you're referring to my answer to your last question:

    /question/index?qid=20161...

    Then you should probably know that

    A) I am not a feminist and

    B) I am referring to the patriarchal custom of children being named after their fathers. There was a time when children were literally owned only by fathers. Mothers had no parental rights over their own children, only duties/obligations. Fortunately, that is no longer the case. Still doesn't make it right that children are still identified by only their fathers, when they put the least effort into actually raising them.

    BTW, I have responded to your comment

    "Because the child is named after the father. A child accomplishes something great? The father's name gets printed in the headlines and passed down in history. A child misbehaves? The mother is shamed for her parenting."

    Why can't efftards, in general , make the intelligent and well-thought out choice to have kids or not?

    If you as a woman or a man do not have the emotional capacity to put yourself aside to give to a child, and the financial capacity to take care of a child's material needs, then don't bloody have kids.

    Europe has the right idea here.

    It really sucks having kids and then getting "stuck" in the mom role all the time because the father won't pitch in, refuses to "babysit" his kids because he doesn't think it's "man's work" to help rear his own offspring or spend quality time with them. I thankfully don't have this problem, but I do know a lot of women who do. I know several men who look at spending quality time with their own offspring as "babysitting" and they don't like babysitting, so they don't do it, so mom never gets to go out but he always does. That's f*cked, man.

    Women want their own lives. Not to just be extensions of their children. Kids are great, but the burden of taking care of them should be shared so that both adults in the relationship can maintain at least some autonomy.

    men are lazy, worthless parents who foist off responsibility for kids they believe are half theirs onto the mothers or the state, therefore i shall hate the children for it.

    that's... not rational.

    i'm not a fan of the popular cultural practice of removing blame for mens' actions off of men and depositing it onto women and children in general, actually.
