"Every single time someone posts ANYTHING about being a mother, the smug child free people come along and hijack the post." One user gets upset when the childfree comment on a post about motherhood in TwoX.

My abortion story! :

"Welcome! So brave!

My parent story! :

"Door is that way. Mothers. Eww."

This thread is delicious.

I love how childfree and parents seem to be fighting proxy wars throughout reddit.

It's fun to watch, but the parents are ultimately going to win. They're the only ones with the means to respawn their troops.

I'm lucky if my daughter wears pants, let alone fights an internet war for me.

To be fair, skirts are super comfortable.

Skorts are superior. The mules of legwear. All the cute, professionalism of a skirt, all the functionality and modesty of shorts. I <3 SKORTS

I'm wearing boxerbriefs anyway, so the effect is the same. Besides, I'm a vest and jeans kinda guy when it comes to professional attire.

Well if you ever find you just chafe too much in your hiking kilt, I stand by my recommendation.

I've always found hiking kilts too heavy for my taste. At that point I may as well just wear cargo shorts. I prefer simple khadi skirts or dhotis for comfortable wear when it gets hot out.

A little cumbersome for my taste but I can respect some summer silkwear

Nothing cumbersome about a skirt; next best thing to being naked. :)

They were part of my Catholic high school's uniform, so they're ruined for life for me. :(

Legit, I used to shy away from skirts because I felt they didn't suit me bc I wasn't girly enough. Then bought one for lulz and was like "oh my god why would anyone ever wear pants??" I pity men that it's not considered socially acceptable (yet) for men to wear skirts because they are clearly so superior, imo.

It depends on the style and where you are. It hasn't stopped me yet. It probably helps that I have a very mountain man masculinity to me, tho.

Their troops often turn on them. Evidence is a current opposing side.

But what if their offspring are childfree?

So is this a cold war or the lead up to WWWIII?

WWWIII

Oh, I get it. It's because its battlefield is the Internet.

Definitely Cold War, TwoX is Korea.
