Wow! @AmandaMarcotte Really Hates Babies: ‘Time-Sucking Monsters’

Posted on | March 18, 2014 | 84 Comments

 

How long have we followed the lunatic career of Amanda Marcotte? At least since 2007, when her anti-Christian ravings got her kicked off the doomed presidential campaign of John Edwards. (Mary Katharine Ham: “Vote for Edwards, Godbag Christofascists!“)

Marcotte’s bloodthirsty zeal for baby-killing is notorious, and so we aren’t really surprised when she makes statements like this:

“I don’t particularly like babies. They are loud and smelly
and, above all other things, demanding. No matter how
much free day care you throw at women, babies are still
time-sucking monsters with their constant neediness.”

Yeah, today I didn’t get much blogging done because I babysat my grandson while my daughter-in-law went to her college classes, but the phrase “time-sucking monster” never occurred to me while I was feeding him, changing him and rocking him to sleep.

So why does Amanda Marcotte hate babies so much? Because she is supremely and shamelessly selfish:

No matter how flexible you make my work schedule, my entire life would be overturned by a baby. I like  my life how it is, with my ability to do what I want when I want without having to arrange for a babysitter. I like being able to watch True Detective right now and not wait until baby is in bed. I like sex in any room of the house I please. I don’t want a baby. I’ve heard your pro-baby arguments. Glad those work for you, but they are unconvincing to me. Nothing will make me want a baby. . . .
I like not having a giant growth protruding out of my stomach. I hate hospitals and like not having stretch marks. . . .
This is why, if my birth control fails, I am totally having an abortion. Given the choice between living my life how I please and having my body within my control and the fate of a lentil-sized, brainless embryo that has half a chance of dying on its own anyway, I choose me.

Even the staunchest pro-lifer must consider she makes a point: It’s probably best that such hatefully selfish people not reproduce.

    “time sucking monsters.”

    She’d say that there’s something wrong with you .(sarcasm)

    Ms. Marcotte fails to realize that the overwhelmingly vast majority of parents are doing exactly as “they please” while doing all the things that she finds so abhorrent and intrusive to her lifestyle.

    By the time she realizes what’s missing in her life she’ll be an old maid incapable of having a family and all alone in the world.

    My kids are my joy in life. They can be pains in the a$$ at times, but they make me a better person. I used to be selfish as well, but having kids will ground and humble you. Marcotte lives in a make believe world. Some day, something will happen to her to wake her from fantasy land and she’ll realize what she’s been missing.
    Or not …….

    Where does one even begin? My biggest surprise is that this woman finds a sexual partner, although I noticed she didn’t specify with which gender she’d be befouling every room in her house. How perfect that she was a flack for the equally odious John Edwards. I’m amazed the combined narcissism of these two didn’t create a black hole that destroyed the earth.

    It is a nice Kumbaya moment when both sides can agree that Amanda should not reproduce. Some things are so manifestly obvious that there is simply no denying them.

    I hope she enjoys the thought of all of the sex she had on the kitchen
    table (and the thought of it is all she has likely had despite her fantasies to the contrary) when she is dying alone and
    unlamented. Amanda may not believe this, but there are greater joys in life than
    what comes out of her Hitachi vibrator. It is a shame she will die having never known them.

    The purest joy I have ever known was when my daughter was put in my arms for the first time. Everything was right with the world and the peace I felt was as deep and abiding as any man is capable of knowing in this lifetime.

    Amanda ruts, and eats, and defecates… and hates those who seek something more than to fritter away this life looking for idle amusements with which to fill their days. It is depressing even to think about what her life must be like.

From the moment I laid eyes on my beautiful baby daughter until now when I see the lovely capable young woman she’s become I can’t believe how blessed I am. “A time sucking monster?” Amanda Marcotte may think she’s oh so superior to us “breeders”, but she’s actually the most most soul-deadened, self-absorbed termagant it’s ever been my displeasure to read about.

    One wonders what the heck Mandy actually DOES anyway that keeps her so awfully busy. I doubt she does any physically demanding labor. She certainly isn’t in any sort of position of authority or responsibility that would leave her stressed out daily.

    It seems she “blogs” at Raw Story, contributes to Slate and a couple of others, and does a weekly podcast. Do you suppose she has to fight traffic to be downtown at the office at 9 every morning, or does she drag her hung over body to her laptop at home or wherever she happens to wake up?

    How ever does she manage?

    And babies are “smelly” – Miss Marcotte seems to think her own poop doesn’t stink. I’ll take her word for it, with reservations.

    But ultimately, it is probably best a misanthropic basket case like her not bear and raise children. At least, human ones. They would likely end up as screwed up as she is, the poor little wretches.

    I think she “Doth protest too much”. She is, i think, in her late 30’s, so if she’s going to change her mind about having kids, she better do it soon. Somehow, this latest rant sounds a lot like someone who’s trying to justify to herself a future sans a normal family life, at a time when she’s about to become too old to have one.

    March 19th, 2014 @ 7:34 am

    The lovely Miss Marcotte is 36½ years old, so she has only a few years of potential fecundity remaining to her. At 36½, she can still be the young urban hipster, and perhaps her POSSLQ Marc Faletti will continue to share her life and her bed for another 45 years, but eventually, and perhaps sooner than she thinks, young urban hipsterdom will be overtaken by advancing years.

    Fifteen years from now, Miss Marcotte will be 51½ years old, the age by which most mothers are now seeing their time-sucking monsters as young adults, going out into the world for themselves. There are no more diapers to change — unless she would have grandchildren by then — and no more ballet lessons or soccer games to attend (we all know that if she did have a son, he’d never play real football), and those of us who are parents are heartened by what our children are accomplishing as much as by what we have done ourselves; our lives are expanded by our children. Nevertheless, Miss Marcotte is a free woman, able to take her own decisions, and she has taken the one which appeals to her the most. She’ll still have plenty of free time to spend with her no-longer-quite-so-young urban hipster friends, though some of them might have taken different decisions, and be living in the suburbs after having time-sucking monsters of their own.

    Thirty-five years from now, Miss Marcotte will be 71½ years old. The old young urban hipster friends she had will also be elderly, and won’t be able to visit quite as often; some will have gone to their eternal rewards by then. Never having been a mother, she won’t be worrying about when her children and grandchildren will come to see her, and being saddened by the times that she thinks they ought to have come and did not, but she’ll still be doing the same about her friends.

    Will she be lonely at that age, or will she still have the sex-in-any-room life she tells us about? Only the Lord knows, and he is unlikely to tell us in advance. She can take any choices she wishes, but the one she is telling us that she is taking is one which interrupts the natural circle of life — cue The Lion King song here — and one to which human beings are thoroughly adapted; it is part of our culture and our psyche. We can’t know how Miss Marcotte will feel about her choices then, or what her life will be like, but the odds are that things won’t turn out quite the way she envisions them.

  34. Dana
    March 19th, 2014 @ 7:37 am

    Well, Miss Marcotte is telling us what her choice is, and I would guess that we’d all hope and pray that her choice of contraception proves to be as reliable as she wishes; better that she never becomes pregnant than has an abortion.

  35. Dana
    March 19th, 2014 @ 7:41 am

    She has said previously that she once thought she had gotten pregnant, and while her then-boyfriend was apparently making an offer to marry her, she was completely uninterested in either marriage to him or having children. However, it turned out that she had not gotten pregnant, so no abortion occurred.

    I used to comment on Pandagon, where Miss Marcotte did not like me very much. Fortunately, my feelings weren’t terribly hurt by that.

  36. Dana
    March 19th, 2014 @ 7:44 am

    Her POSSLQ is a gentleman named Marc Faletti, with whom she has been involved ever since I have known of her (that’s seven years). Given that she has talked about enjoying her sex life with some frequency, I suppose that Mr Faletti is sufficiently skilled in amorous activities.

    March 19th, 2014 @ 7:46 am

    I’ve always been of the impression that hating babies in particular is a symptom of disliking humans in general.

    Humans, after all, are smelly, noisy, demanding creatures even in adulthood. They simply will not behave as their betters would prefer. I cannot imagine that Marcotte looks out over the seven billions of homo sapiens hungrily struggling to exist with love and affection.

  38. Dana
    March 19th, 2014 @ 7:51 am

    It might be more likely that she will, eventually, rue some of her previous choices in life, but we can’t know in advance, and it seems unlikely that she would ever tell us.

    Amanda Marcotte needs to be published often, and everywhere. She makes the huge mistake (from the “pro-choice” viewpoint) of actually telling the truth about why the abortion lobby and sexual-license-trumps-all crowd must maintain abortion uber alles.

    The media have allowed the pro-abortion crowd to warp the language so much that it is surprising and shocking when we hear the real reasoning behind the demand for the abortion license. We have allowed the euphemisms of “women’s right to choose” (without asking Choose what?), “right to privacy”, “reproductive health rights”, “keep the government out of my uterus”, “health of the mother”, etc. to dominate the conversation so much that we have forgotten the prime motivation — utter, evil, and un-human selfishness. Amanda Marcotte reminds us of that.

    And if more people can hear the true reasons for abortion more often, hearts and minds will sway back toward proper respect and protection for human life.

    Setting aside the pro-abortion tirade for a moment, it’s interesting that Ms. Marcotte feels so compelled to display her rabid dislike for babies, a dislike predicated upon nothing but speculation, inasmuch as no one is truly prepared to be a parent until s/he glimpses his/her firstborn. Only a parent can empathize with the feelings of joy coupled with the realization of immense responsibility which immediately obtains upon having a child. Given that Ms. Marcotte has been so outspoken over the years about the “evils” of child-rearing, one wonders whether she now realizes that it is impossible for her to change her mind. To do so would be a repudiation of everything she’s ignorantly espoused since she burst on the blogging scene as a twenty-something feminist spokesperson. She undoubtedly has nightmares of being labeled a traitor or heretic to the cause she’s embraced. The commenter above positing a “protest too much” explanation is spot on.

    If, however, she truly has no regrets, the question then becomes why does she post these screeds? Surely, she’s not being attacked by her acolytes. The fact of the matter is, no one gives a rat’s ass whether she has kids or not. In truth, her anti-Parenthood diatribes are no more interesting or relevant than the “Mommy Blog” posts she takes great pride in criticizing.

  45. CarolinaGirl3
    March 19th, 2014 @ 10:17 am

    And why is she so vituperative? I know pro-abortion (I refuse to use the term “pro-choice”) people that are somewhat out there but have never employed the rabid dog rhetoric. Of course, it gets Ms. Marcotte attention and she apparently craves it. The fact that she comes across as a vicious, rather soulless human (question use of “human”) being doesn’t seem to bother her.
