No offense, but just because someone fought against Hitler, doesn’t guarantee that they would vote against the Republican Party. My mom’s dad fought in the Army during WW2. He loved to give my older sister lectures about how she shouldn’t date any immigrants that weren’t European, and told her never to date other races. My mom was surprised by his lecture (it happened out of nowhere at a family dinner). She asked, “what about _____ (me)?” He looked at me, and then muttered something about blood types and how it didn’t matter who I dated. I guess he wanted to share with us that he didn’t want my older sister making babies for other races. Most of the countries he named in his list of “don’t date these people” were countries that were not our ally in WW2, so I can understand his concerns about my older sister ever dating their citizens. Good ol’ grandpa! 🤷‍♀️

Wait why was it ok for you but not for your older sister? Are you male? Is that why?

No. At the risk of sounding conceited, or crazy, I’m going to try once more to explain this on Lemmy. Wish me luck:

I’m female. I’m rh- in blood type. My sister is rh+. People of darker races are usually rh+. Many pale skinned people are rh+, but when you typically look at rh- people, they are almost always white. Women who are rh- do not make rh+ babies. Punnet squares are really misleading and rh factor is not actually random. I have dated many rh+ men. My kids are both rh-. Some people have really tried to silence me about discussing the fact that rh- women do not make rh+ babies, but it’s true. Are you female and rh-?

Basically, here is what I am saying: Want a really bad period the next month and no explanation for it? Sleep with an rh+ male about two weeks before your period. Keep doing that, maybe even in wedlock, and wonder why there’s no baby. Tell people about it, and watch certain community groups become unhinged over it! The army knows about blood type compatibility. Why does the civilian world need to perpetuate lies over it? I guess it helps keep the peace.

Wow, this snuck in just in time to be the stupidest lemmy comment I’ve read in my first year on the site!

Women who are Rh- definitely give birth to Rh+ babies, otherwise Anti-D prophylaxis wouldn’t be done to prevent the very dangerous interaction of the two blood types in case of bleeding.

I’m 35 years old, married an O+ man and did not have babies with him. Why did my distant cousin, who is O- rape me in my sleep to make my babies, if my husband and I would have eventually conceived? And why was my family okay with that happening to me, unless it was about blood type compatibility? Was my husband sterile BEFORE his vasectomy years later, after my kids were born? If he was sterile, he never would have needed the vasectomy. I’m pretty sure he now has kids of his own with a woman who is rh+. He wasn’t abstinent while separated from me, during those years we spent apart, after I was raped. Oh, I guess my ex boyfriend that I dated before I met my husband happened to be sterile? The guys I dated after splitting from my husband must be sterile, huh?

If you really believe my view on it is wrong, please conduct a longitudinal study to prove otherwise. DNA is relatively new, and studies that might have been conducted in past decades might not have dna tested the children to prove paternity. Please, prove me wrong. Conduct a study and present it with dna evidence after any children are born from it.

First of all, I’m so sorry.

Second, I see your n=1 study and I raise you another n=1 study, I’m Rh positive, so is my father, but my mother is Rh negative.

If you want to go against science, it’s up to you to perform the actual studies.

Please get a dna test between you and your mother. She might be your stepmother. Also, buy Eldon cards for both of you, as well. Make sure you both were correctly typed as the blood type you think you are.

That’s… not how it works? I’m not sure if you’re trolling, and I’m not sure it would make the situation better at all.
