I think he’s gonna get a reality check on election day. I refuse to believe anyone will vote for this shit.
Edit: On second thought, does this not contradict the line I hear spouted from reform often; “Don’t have kids if you can’t afford them”. Which one is it?

Explicitly anti-women party….this isn’t going to be enough to stop people voting for these I am very sad to say.

I’m still unsure whether Reform have let themselves be filled with nutters when they were desperate for candidates or they are actively recruiting mentalists

I think teaching sex education is a good thing
Teaching how fertility declines after a certain age is reasonable.
There are many couples I know that waited to their mid to late thirties to try and have kids who are facing fertility issues now.
People should be aware of the tradeoffs when delaying having kids
Why is it that everything Reform candidates say so.. repressive?

These people spend so much time thinking about what’s going on inside children’s underwear.

For year my generation had it beaten into us that we shouldn’t have children until we where able to look after them and that the greatest scroungers where those who had kids they couldn’t aford.
Well we took that message seriously and people now wring their hands that birth rates are down.

An people on twitter are now wondering why the polls think the election is now down to Labour or the Greens according to the bookies.

Maybe he needs an economic reality check, nobody can effing afford to have kids with house prices, inflation, cost of living and the graduate tax emptying their accounts. Who’s gonna pay for it?

I am not a fucking breeding machine and I will not be reduced to such.
In fact, Farage quite literally hates disabled people like me even daring to exist in his country. And he wants women like me to give kids because we owe it to them? Even though they’ll probably get my fucked up genetics?
Fat chance.

The deep irony of wanting a biological reality check from someone I bet can’t even name most parts of a woman’s reproductive system.

Is now a good time to mention that the extreme focus on transphobia, and making sure everyone is defined by their biology from birth, has been leading to this inevitable misogynistic conclusion where women exist purely to breed, and that the removal of healthcare for trans people is opening the door to further attacks against bodily autonomy, including abortion rights? The societal acceptance of transphobia has been an absolute dream for the patriarchy, and a large number of people are only going to discover this when it’s far too late.

> Mr Goodwin previously suggested imposing a “negative child benefit tax” on “those who don’t have offspring”
> Mr Goodwin also appeared to agree with the host’s claim that universities have become hotbeds of “politically correct authoritarianism” because they are full of “childless women”.
Given the demonisation of women engaging in higher education and the undertones of incentivised *incubation* I wonder what he’s trying to gradually imply here

You can tell no women are ever consulted by this party.
Women have the ‘biological clock’ anxiety shoved down their throat from a relatively young age, we are well aware.
That’s NOT why fertility is declining

I cannot fathom why anyone would vote for these detestable ball bags.
The silence from them on the epstein files should tell us everything

Surely low birth rates are a good thing – I thought Reform’s problem with immigration was simply that the country was full? Or are they finally admitting that it’s actually racism?

If you have keep chickens you’ll know that when there’s a violent rooster the hens lay less eggs, are under chronic stress and all he does is eat all the food for himself and fight with other males.
Although it’s daft I see a sort of parallel with the decline in birth rates and level of political instability in our world tbh

I’m well aware of my biology. I just can’t afford to give a child the upbringing I believe a child deserves. How will reform do anything to sort that?

Men trying to dictate what women should be doing with their bodies. Yet more Americanisation of UK politics.
F**k off with your male entitlement

Previously I wasn’t having kids because I’m broke and I think I’d be a bad parent but after seeing this I’ve decided I’m not having kids specifically to spite this guy.

Keep Reform candidates far far away from young girls.

One step closer to US imported Christian nationalism. Give it a couple of years

They want people to have kids but they also don’t want to support people after they have kids so who in their right mind would?

Something that made childcare slightly easier was the advance of work from home, which Farage just came out against. They want people to have more kids while simultaneously making it harder for people to spend more time raising them.
Holiday_Cat_7284 on
Once again, women can’t win. If we have children we can’t afford, with no roof over their heads, we’re benefits scroungers. If we have them late or not at all, we’re destroying the planet. Honestly, f**k men and especially male right wing politicians.

I bet if they could afford to settle down, buy a home etc. they might have kids earlier – although, the average age of parent’s has trended upwards gradually since the mid 1970s – [https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/bulletins/birthcharacteristicsinenglandandwales/2022](https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/bulletins/birthcharacteristicsinenglandandwales/2022)
