Well said Yuyutsu though, as one who did control my reproduction, I would prefer to be classed as progressive and not conservative!

Dear Popnperish,

«though, as one who did control my reproduction, I would prefer to be classed as progressive and not conservative!»

Which is less common, so allow me to expand and use the analogy of blood-types:

There are 4 blood types: O, A, B, and AB.
(this is simplified because there is also the Rhesus factor and rarer situations, but it is a good-enough analogy for now)

We could refer to Conservatives as type A: they rather pay for their food by keeping their numbers down.
We could refer to Progressives as type B: they rather pay for their food by compromising their lifestyle.
Then there is type AB: they rather procreate freely, then send the bill to others, demanding that others compromise their lifestyle for them.

And finally there is type O, as you describe yourself: controlling your reproduction but still generously willing to compromise your own lifestyle in order to pay the price for the parasitic AB's.

So Yuyutsu, are you saying that most politicians are Type AB ? I'd reckon most CEO's are the same blood group AND psychopaths to boot.
