Kieran Culkin at the Oscars 2025
Kieran Culkin in his awards speech for the 2025 Oscars told a story of how he pressured his wife for a THIRD child, which she was openly reluctant about, and then said how she said if he won an Oscar, she would have FOUR children. He then said “no pressure” while tapping impatiently for her to have two more children she doesn’t want, making it abundantly clear by shaking her head and saying “no”. In today’s already rampant misogyny, lack of abortion access, and deteriorating society, I am appalled he would even suggest this as a “joke”, let alone to pressure her on live tv with one billion viewers and in front of a large audience.
Men who have anything to say about how many children the women they're with should (or, worse, will) have should be sterilized at the first signs of having an opinion. It is so disgusting that we've been accepting this behaviour for so long. "Your body my choice" is not a contemporary incel slogan, it's how we've been operating for thousands of years. And this is why I always warn women that whether you want kids or not, you should NEVER be with anyone who feels strongly about it either way, especially men, who have never had to seriously consider what it's like to be pregnant and give birth and don't have the moral backbone to feel the appropriate shame and horror over forcing or coercing a less than extremely enthusiastic woman into it.
