    I’m pretty thankful for vocal, obnoxious, childfree women. I have two and if I still thought it was my social obligation I might have had 5. I adore kids. I do not love that only people who want to have children get to be loud and take up space with their hopes and dreams. I did read down the thread, however, I think people who are in the majority sometimes don’t realize how “vocal” or “obnoxious” the can come off in the spaces they take up (the majority of space).

      I never said that only people who have children get to be loud and take up space with their hopes and dreams.

      If you’ve never encountered a childfree person who hates children and is vocal about it, to the point of calling other women “breeders”, you don’t understand what I meant.

      Everyone should choose the path that’s best for them when it comes to having or not having children. And everyone else should respect that.
