No offense, but why have kids? (SAHM, deal, teenage, baby)

You, my friend, DO.

I'm not your friend, and I was telling CD to not let others shame his decision.

Most of the people with those complexes, from what I've seen, are mothers.

I don't think you have a martyr complex, but you definitely do have "mommy" issues.

^^^^^^This! I don't want a tattoo either because a) I think they're trashy looking and b) I know when I get older my skin will sag and make the tattoo look crappy.

City_data91 did not miss the point. He realizes that there are decisions that will be permanent and affect you for the rest of your life. Which is why he chooses to stay celibate and not get tattoos.

I get along just fine with my mother. Wow, women really think they know about other people's lives and can predict them.

Yes, yes of course you have.

Moving on. You, my friend, have displayed definite tendencies toward the martyr/victim complex, as has City-Data_91.

The biggest marker I see towards wide ranging issues is misogyny and a fixation on mothers.

Another teenage mensa weighs in!

Good Lord, can't you two just admit that there is a very distinct possibility that when you actually grow up and are not children anymore you may see things through different glasses? You may actually change your minds?

Oh yes. Absolutely. It's clear as day. I really wish that men like him would get themselves in therapy ASAP and realize it's simply not normal to hold such a vociferous rage towards women and mothers.

Yes, we're moms. We can do that.

I calls them likes I sees them, buddy.

Educated people tend to pick up on subtle, and not-so-subtle, clues like the ones you are throwing out like wildfire.
