Ways To Propel A Toy Boat

An actor of "Mad Men" is displayed anti-birth!

I have not had the chance to listen to this series that everybody talks to me, but reading this article the Huffington Post, I tell myself that I must stop and tell me to go rent Mad Men without further delay.

While the list of actors and actresses who dare to go against the grain by posing without a toddler with them grows, we can not say the same characters childfree!



I am very happy to learn that Vincent Kartheiser does not want to have offspring, but it reminds me that I'm always looking for characters on TV, cinema or that appear in the literature or childfree antinatalist.

In Quebec television series, I can not find one. In the American series either (except for Samantha in Sex and the City , but say I do not identify with this particular woman and extremely rich libertine) and a little mouse told me that "Bones" in the series of the same name that was once a character cold and desire for children has changed her mind. As Dr. Robbins in Arizona Grey's Anatomy .

Like what, yes, it is possible to find childfree celebrities looking good, but in fact when one looks long enough and you can find everything while to find actors and characters with children, n is not even a question of looking, they are obvious.

Congratuating On Engagment

Mom? No thank you! says THANK YOU for all the gifts! Seeking to rent

I wanted to give you news of my patrons call last month. You have been very generous and it makes me very heartwarming, thank you so much!

In one month, you sent me $ 2 885 to help me make my documentary, bought 13 DVDs Mom? No thank you! in advance and given lots of support! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!



I see now that I have reason to do this documentary because many of you childfree but also parents, want to see this documentary.

Why this documentary is it absolutely necessary today?

Because unfortunately many people still believe that women are made to have children and it is the only true way to achieve in life. If this was not the case, there would be no need to make a film on the subject, so this really worth disparaged. We in the West in 2010 and women still have all the pressure of the world on their shoulders to fit the mold and make babies. And if there were other ways to grow?

I has several women (including me) happy, empowered, in their own skin and not embittered that are neither anti-child or anti-parent, rather, simply anti-idealization of motherhood, anti-conformist and do not claim that only one thing: the right to respect for our choices in life. We respect and love those who choose to have children, we would be respected in return and the social judgments ever!

short: portraits of women (and men in our lives) that make a good life choice not to have children and explained that once and for all to tell you why we are together. A documentary filled with positive humor and reflections on the Status of Women today.

However, I still need help to help me finance it.

My goal is always to raise $ 15 000. Any donation, however small it may be, of great help to me! So please spread the word to everyone you know. It only takes a small email to change the world! Together, we can find 1300 people who want to give a small $ 10 to help me achieve this vision of society.

So do not hesitate and become a sponsor!

child! The

Collaboration Special Painted Catherine, Belgium.

In a few weeks, it will be the Saint-Nicolas (children's festival in Belgium, which takes place every December 6). A party that does not bother me, especially since it tends to fall by the wayside in favor of Santa Claus. And yes, the year-end bonuses usually falling to December 15, we have more money to spend at Christmas. But whether, Saint-Nicolas is still evident. And my box has not forgotten either.

"Saint-Nicolas awaits all the children of staff this Sunday, December 5. Program, meeting with the great saint, clowns, face painting, tasted, distribution of gift ... The opportunity to spend an enjoyable time with family and colleagues "

Glance with my office colleagues, also childless, I erase the mail, we do not exchange a word. What's the point, for 6 years I worked in this box is like every year.

I do not care about this holiday, but the next day, the mandarins unfortunate that we wait before our computer will still have a bitter taste while all others will discuss the great day the previous day, comparing the gifts and saying that they really have the chance to work for a box believed to families. It is also the day that we must avoid coffee machine, canteen and meeting place for all to avoid all questions of style: "So you did not saw yesterday? How old are you again? It may be time Mettes not you join in ?"...

I should perhaps take leave on December 6? Or I borrow from my sister the same, at least there is one who will be happy!

Fellowes Powershred Ps 50

without children, second-class citizens

In my previous post , I spoke with photos of magazine covers in support of the frantic pro-baby bathe in which our Western societies.

Now, let me rise in milk (I have weighed my words carefully before choosing this expression).

At noon, it is by listening Maisonneuve en direct, a phone-in on Radio-Canada about organ donation that I realized how much we, people without children are citizens of second class, barely large enough to be worth to be saved ..

I summarizes the situation. Some listeners called the radio station to say they are for or against organ donation (I want to say that I do not understand at all how someone could be cons ...) Anyway, between the interventions of auditors, experts explained their views and cited various statements: "Little X had a new liver." "Mr. Y, a father of five children, was able to continue to give love to all his dear enfantss through organ donation," etc., etc., etc..

This leads me to believe that if there is a hierarchy important people in our society, it goes as follows:

1) At the top of the list, there are children, what is more beautiful, innocent and wonderful that a child . Nobody can deny that.

2) Then there are the parents. Why? Because they have children and a child who has only one parent is the piiiiiire things in the world (as evidence \u0026lt;irony> I myself have had only one parent and see what shape I am!).

3) Then there are the important people: movie stars, winners Nobel Prize, who else ...? I see it, I think it's not bad.

4) And, at the bottom of the food chain, it is we non-parents. The company does not care if we live or die anyway because it is i-nu-ti it, you see, because we have no children in our care.

course, that's my interpretation. I'm not trying to say here that would refuse a transplant, but that just about everywhere, in many speeches, shows through the same social fact: people without children are not as important as those who .

It pisses me off, me being seen as a second class citizen, as someone not as good or as special as PARENTS.

Think fast. In a burning apartment there are two people: a non-mother and a mother of three children. You can only save one person, who would you choose? I would be willing to bet that 95% of people (if not more) answer: "But mother, see!" and without hesitation.

So this lack of hesitation that gives me the creeps. Do I not entitled to respect and consideration even though I'm nulliparous?

To illustrate my point, I recommend you visit the Testimonials section Site Quebec Transplant to make you feel super good about yourself if you're like me, "useless for survival human ".

Because let's face it, there is only ONE way to be helpful and flourish in life ... is having children.

Remind me, what year is it already? 1952? 1964?

Birthday In Literature

idealization of motherhood in the media

Great American article (ie English) which I recommend reading. Published in 2006 in the magazine Glamour he decries this mode of pregnancy can be dangerous: Infertile in a Baby-Crazed World .


I have already discussed in previous notes that any idealization of motherhood in the media, but let me deal at greater length here. If you've never paid attention to this media phenomenon, let me help you with some examples of magazine covers that I found on the Internet. And this is just the tip of the iceberg ...

Pour lire la suite de mon long billet et voir tout plein de photos, cliquez sur "Plus d'info" ci-bas:



Alors qu'en est-il des femmes sans enfant dans les médias? « Angelina Jolie adopte son 27e enfant! », titrent les journaux. Une semaine après: « Photos nues de Madonna enceinte ». Plus près de nous, Caroline Néron pose en couverture, the belly ready to burst. The next week we will have to choose: Is it a "baby bump" one sees on Jennifer Lopez? "Britney Spears is expecting her third child. Who is the father? "Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge Mariloup Wolfe and expecting a baby!" The tabloids seem to have set their sights on the reproductive system of stars. This is the mad rush to babies in Quebec as much as Hollywood. But where are the stars who dare to appear childfree?

Not to mention that motherhood according to some is a way to redeem himself. When has-been ex-addicts become mom make the cover of magazines as a model, I have serious questions about the future of our society! When other magazines we suggest to stay lean (not thin!) Lorsqu'enceinte, I think we are far from the feminism of the 70s! And do not tell me about "Octo Mom" ...






media idealize motherhood. Everywhere one sees it. I'll spare you the number of images found on the Internet of pregnant women, beaming, grinning from ear to ear ... (Really, have fun on Google Images!)

What is the last time you recall seeing a woman in her thirties or forties with no children on TV without it being portrayed as a old daughter as a barren woman or sad? Oh, I remember: Samantha in Sex and the Cit y. Indeed, we see no children and most importantly, no desire for children, but we see also caricatured as all children found boring and prefer the pleasure of the flesh for a life more seriously. I doubt that all women not wanting to have children is as frivolous, rich and ... sex than Samantha.

According Isabelle Tilmant, author and psychologist, the notion of maternal love is born in the eighteenth century. Since the establishment of Mother's Day, American invention dating from 1914, many childless women feel excluded by this festival as celebrated. The "showers" for babies and congratulations from all sides are rigor when a woman announces she is pregnant. In the microcosm of family is becoming mother that really becomes an adult. The ads send us images of strong families, happy and terribly idealized who demoralizes more than when she realizes that her family is not as pink as those seen on all advertisements.

dint of positive reinforcement, every woman wants to be a superwoman. It makes us believe that it is possible to have everything: love life, personal development, child (ren), stimulating work, travel, friends, money, being a mom caring and available, lover, sexy and good about yourself, etc.. This stereotype conveyed by many stars (with the help of several nanny, coaches, drivers ...) makes us believe that being a mother means being everything at once and that every woman can be like her. This myth also repelled by some.
For children, we do not ask the question "If you have a child one day, how will it be called?" But "when you have a child, you gonna call it how? "It prepares the next generation to be parents, which is not harmful in itself but provides does one choose alternatives life? That's why I'm doing a documenaire on non-parents, to give hope to many women who see only one possible model: that is to be a mother.

These women who are childless because they are not green

I am a green the first time. I remember when I was 10-11 years, had even formed a small club environment with my friends (I'll spare you the name of the club said it was a little cheesy ti) and we were asking the director the school to establish a recycling program (it was in the late 80), and during some weekends, me and my friends go clean up some streets are littered with trash.

short, I consider myself a green. I buy local whenever possible, I have no car, I recycle and when I no longer live a 3rd floor, I intend to make my own compost, etc.. etc..

That said, the environment is not the reason behind my desire not to me again. That's part, of course, but I'll be honest, it is rather far in my list of reasons why I do not want to give birth.


(Photo courtesy of the website koalatdiapers.com )

The phenomenon of people who refuse to procreate primarily for intellectual reasons, whether political or environmental, I am intrigued at the highest point . I understand the theory and all their arguments and I agree even in their direction but I can not help but say that having or not a child can be motivated by strong emotions that come from within.

I never (at least yet) met a parent who told me they chose to have children to ensure a future society in which they operate, or ensure that someone replenish coffers and thus enable others to benefit from a pension fund.

It I think we had children because he wants and that does not also because we do not desire. The famous "Call of the uterus" which means that too much talk will still be an impetus from the gut.

Still, as I said earlier, I love reading about all the environmental reasons that if we want to comfort me in my choice never be a mom. And basically, maybe it does that is precisely what happens: we feel guilty. And for once the media help us to return a positive image of our choice, why not enjoy it.

So I selected a few articles on the net that I urge you to read:

Itching And Rash After Brazilian Wax

Elisabeth Badinter New book: The New Conflict

Released earlier in the spring of 2010, said highly of the book Elisabeth Badinter: The Conflict , wife and mother published by Flammarion. Even the English have heard, if we go by this Times article .


This book is available at all major bookstores in Quebec. I have not liked was the chance to read it, but the views of the author greatly interests me because it examines motherhood as a form of bondage.
" The resurgence of naturalism - that is reintroducing the concept of maternal instinct well worn and praised the sacrifices women - is the greatest danger for their emancipation and gender equality.
dint hear that a mother must repeat all to her child, her milk , his time and energy, it is inevitable that more and more women stop at the barrier. Some, indeed, find their full development in motherhood, but most of them will one day calculating pleasures and pains: on one side, an irreplaceable experience, love given and made and the importance of the transmission, on the other, frustration and daily stress, the inevitable conflicts and sometimes the feeling of failure.
While nearly a third of German women are childless, it means they are to be achieved other than motherhood as it is their imposes. For now, the French have escaped this dilemma at all or nothing. They have resisted the edicts of some gurus of Pediatrics. They will head the instructions of maternalist firmly supported by the most respectable institutions? Until when will they impose their desires and their will against the rampant discourse of guilt? "

already so I enjoy the idea to settle in a chair with a cup of tea under a warm blanket and read this book while the snow falls this winter.

Have you read this book? Do you have other recent books to recommend? Your comments and feedback, as always, welcome!
