  • Can ask the same about men. Orcas have menopause. Female orcas live somewhere between 60 and 90 years. Male orcas only 30. Also… post menopausal orcas pimp out their sons. Imagine your mom as your wingman.

    We live so long because we rely on experience. Menopause (and andropause) are just ways to make sure the parents don’t compete with their offspring, but stick around long enough to help.

    Death and aging is needed to make animals stop reproducing. This is because the only way we can adapt to changing enviroments, is through having offspring with a mutation that is hopefully useful. Lots of algae, fungi, bacteria don’t have this issue. They can just transfer genes they developed/found to anither member of its species like it’s christmas. No need to die if you can just adapt your own genetics.

    Menopause (and andropause to a lesser extent) is our copout and allows us to live longer.













  • It’s not always the mother being deceptive.

    My mother wanted a child. A family. She was clear about it from the start. My dad didn’t. Probably didn’t communicate it. He didn’t bother using protection either. When my mom got pregnant on the first go, he wanted an abortion. No responsibility.

    He tried to hide his autism from my also autistic mother. They didn’t understand autism back then. She herself considered aborting me out of fear of having a retarded child. She zoned out for weeks, and when she learned I was a girl, she believed god had blessed her. For she thought girls can’t be autistic.

    Lo and behold, my sister and I were neglected intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Because they did not understand parents supposed to teach children, not threaten them with a belt when the kid doesn’t adhere to their autistic whims/expectations.

    We raised ourselves with 0 guidence and am I far behind the average person. They are both not asocial, lonely and happy we exist as a means to reduce their misery.

    They should never have had children. Life is a mess.
