Description
-You have the right to choose whether or not to get married.-You have the right to decide whether or not to have children.
-You have the right to choose to have/not to have sex without being made fun of or insulted.
Why those things aren’t considered personal choices yet?
-Being unmarried doesn’t necessarily mean that a person is lonely or unloved.
-People who do not want kids are not selfish or uncaring.
There are those who believe that marriage and children will bring them happiness, which is great, but for some people it’s not happiness that matters; they just consider those things to be obligations.
-Asexuals and virgins are not “losers who can’t get laid”, and people who have sex outside marriage are not all whores.
None of those choices is right or wrong. What you choose shouldn’t meet other people’s expectations; let them take care of their own lives.

NEEDS CONSENT ON BOTH PARTIES

Well, yeah, but that doesn't take the individual agency out of the picture, otherwise, the consent wouldn't happen in the first place. No part of this means that you can also choose to force somebody into any of it, it means that nobody has the right to force YOU. Also, I bet most of the stamps I made 7 years ago are not perfectly phrased.

Minors and Animals can't consent tho

Never did I mention that wanting to do something justifies pushing it upon others; that's the opposite of the point of the post, so don't give me lectures on things I know. The post was mainly AGAINST society forcing things upon others, besides, saying that somebody can choose whether or not to marry, have children, etc. doesn't imply they can do it with an unconsenting party. Yet, for an arrangement to take place, all the parties involved still need to make a personal choice to partake in it. The right to agency and autonomy is the point of the post, jeez! How you can see this and think it's pedophilia or bestiality related is beyond me.

I'm a struggling Catholic, but that doesn't mean I do not approve of people with different sexual preferences, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or heterosexual. And it's not my choice to tell them they can't have children because that is their business, not mine. So who am I to interfere in other people's relationships just because I may not agree with what they do in their lives? Again I'm not homophobic, I learn to love and accept people for who they are.

I agree with this stamp. Except the sexuality part. Being gay, bi or straight isn't really a choice mostly. I believe you are either born with the sexuality.

Or asexual.

And now that I think about it, I probably wasn't talking about orientations, but the right to choose one's sexual behavior, whether or not it involves a lack of one. But yeah, vague wording.

According to society, if you have a lot of sex, you're a whore. But if you don't have a lot of sex, or haven't had any at all, you're a prudish virgin nerd. Society really needs to make up its damn mind.

Haha, as an asexual, I confirm.

Yeah, I know, my mistake. Wrong choice of words, I know better now.

Sexuality isn't a choice, it comes naturally and you embrace it and let it shape you in the future.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Yeah. Even though I faved the stamp, the sexuality part is the only thing I do not really agree on
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And what exactly do you mean by that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree with the marriage and parenthood being big decisions and should not be forced by society since they are choices. As for sexuality...no one can tell a gay person that they need to be straight to be accepted. I believe that people are born gay, bi or straight so it's not really a choice.

Even if someone is not naturally asexual but decides not to have sex for whatever reasons, it's their business.

by "enforced by society" do u mean people in general or the government, or both? i agree with all but parenthood. some people shouldnt have/raise kids.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I mostly meant people in general, because on many occasions it's not about law but pressure.
Yes, you are right. What I had in mind more was the right not to have children, because the will to have them is rarely looked down upon, so I kind of missed that nuance.

I agree, sex is overrated by society!
and being a single doesn´t mean being an unhappy person....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There are taken persons who are more unhappy than singles, because they have problems with their partners...

"People who do not want kids are not selfish or uncaring. "
Oh yeah, that one.
Because it's so selfless to have children for reasons such as "wanting someone to inheriting my house", "wanting someone who looks like me", or "because it's what everybody does". Yeah, right.
Not to mention those who have kids because it's what society expects from them, and then they don't take care of them properly because in fact, they just weren't cut to be parents. o_O

Haha, good point! 
Thanks for the comment.

I'm a 25 year old woman with no desire to marry or have kids. I'm sick of people saying "Oh you'll come around some day!"
No.
I may have kids, and heaven forbid, even get married, (it would take a damn amazing man to bring me out of my happy solitude) but that will be a decision I make - and right now people don't seem to get that I'm kidless and spouseless by choice.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, thank you very much for sharing. Yeah, some people just think that everyone secretly desires to be married and have children.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I personally don't get the whole argument that people who don't want kids are selfish. How is not wanting kids equate to being selfish? If anything it's being selfless imo.
Though the virgin attack still makes me laugh. Anytime I get in a fight with someone they bring up my virginity like it's the plague and claim I can't get laid. Like that even matters. Then there's other people that call me a slut or a whore just because they don't like me xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it makes me feel that even the lives of people who are going to have children but don't have children yet is meaningless. Sometimes, when a young woman dies, the first thing some people are sad about is that she never had a chance to become a mother. C'mon, that is not the main reason why that person's life was valuable. =/
Wow, people contradict themselves. X)
Thanks for the comment! ^^

I personally believe that things that contribute to society should at least in some part be influenced and even enforced by society.
IE: retarded, irresponsible parents breeding like rabbits, producing stupid, irresponsible children, the cycle repeats and multiplies.
And if you think about it, most everything is a personal choice.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're right, I think that the right to choose also comes with certain obligations in case your choice is going to affect others. Of course there are more aspects to all the things I mentioned, but what I meant is that it's not right to judge someone for the mere fact that they are having sex outside marriage or wanting to stay single, for example.

You know I get married Ill actually consider my wife as my best friend
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, marriage is great as long as it brings you happiness and if it's not something you're doing because others are expecting you to. It must be a free choice and it's important to consider the spouse a friend.

I wrote a paper about the marriage and children stuff for my 101 English class last semester. It's really funny the looks I've gotten when I say I'm not interested in marriage or children. like my head exploded and Nyan Cat came flying out of my thoat.
