@NewYorker It's genuinely worth considering if The New Yorker's decision to give a platform to anti-natalism is as bad for the social fabric as platforming racism or fascism

@NewYorker Why are you reposting a story from 2017? Also, Benatar also believes that sexual promiscuity is as bad as rape and pedophilia.

@NewYorker David writes "I would be similarly uncomfortable with a photograph of me being used" But then you include a photograph of him in your article? https://t.co/BGsOv92HQX
