Sometimes I worry about the collateral damage of us ragging on dead-eggers, because it may actually be much more damage than we want to cause to the very targets who least deserve it.
The 43 yo journo roastie can shrug off a dancing sans gif, she doesn’t even register the thought through her benzo hypnotism anyway, and what little damage is dealt can be addressed with a few compliment fishing tweets.
But an earnest girl dealt a bum hand in the fertility game can’t. Just looking in from the sidelines, unarmored and unprepared for the mockery, she takes 3 times the mental damage the journo does because she’s thinking all those “no eggs” barbs also apply to her.
Just something to watch out for. If your moms, sisters, cousins, aunts, etc. have had struggles carrying a pregnancy to term, it might be compassionate to leave the “eggless” insult in the ammo rack for a truly deserving target when in their company, it’s not worth the splash damage for your own
And if you’re thinking “ah, I don’t have to worry nobody here is - “
You gotta understand that it’s a very quiet, intimate issue. You kids may not even know you weren’t supposed to be an only child, you might have been intended as the first of 5.
So when your mom hears your buddies making fun of the twitter spinsters demanding fat acceptance in gaming for being dusty-wombed, eggless husks, she feels like you’re mocking HER inability to give you siblings, she feels like you’re impugning her as a failure of a mother.
I know we don’t have teens around here in huge numbers but that’s the dynamic we ought to be watching out for

But I still get the point. I am not completely heartless, even though I love to be seen that way.
