Children show that you can afford to have unprotected intercourse without resorting to sodomy. They're the new Rolex. Discuss.

I think in certain circumstances in American (or maybe Western) culture… among some socio-economic groups… they are treated as such.
Though no one would overtly admit it.

I'm always of the mind that the ideal number of kids is either 2 or 12+. The former if you're going for affordability and a serious attempt at raising some little elites, the latter if you just want to show what a pack alpha you are.

Dog whistles are for losers. If you've got something to say then say it.
