Happy Birthing Person Day!
That's what we're celebrating this weekend. You aren't a mommy; you're just a birthing person, which seems to me to be a thinly disguised reference to being a breeder.

This line of thinking dates back to the earliest days of economics. Adam Smith, for instance, famously suggested that the “fixed capital of society” includes “the talents and skill which certain members of the community have acquired by time and expense.” But the modern concept didn’t really take off until the 1950s and ’60s, when it was popularized by University of Chicago economists Theodore Schultz and Gary Becker, who argued that viewing the world in terms of human capital could help explain everything from differences in economic development to income inequality.

And you know, the way queer men have been framed as molesters
