2:43:40 Conclusion
This leftist video essay strives to debunk the work of philosopher David Benatar, the preeminent theorist on antinatalist philosophy, and his work "Better Never to have Been." It discusses feminist perspectives on childbirth, child raising, and mothering from Simone de Beauvoir, Alexis Pauline Gumbs and others drawing on "The Second Sex", "M/other ourselves", "The Feminine Mystique," and "Revolutionary Mothering". We debunk common pregnancy misconceptions, dissect pregnancy literature, and shine a light on pregnancy related medical malpractice. We talk about trad wives and other conservative pro-natalists. And we discuss why it might be hard to have children now, between late stage capitalism and climate collapse, and introduce social infertility and why addressing it should be a leftist goal. Also yeah, it's a pregnancy announcement.
