re: 16 reasons being child-free is awesome

That article is disturbing. It’s more of the progressive push since the 60s to get white people to stop having children so they can work to flip demographics in the US and Europe. And it’s working. White people have been brainwashed into having no children while they import people who dump 7 or 8. The birth rates of the US and Europe are absurdly low.
I bet the OP is someone that likes to make fun of SJWs, hates muzzies, and may have even voted for Trump. (Who has 5 impressive kids by the way with four of them doing very well as adults.)
Yet he's coming here with this soy boy bullshite and telling us to not do the most manliest, macho and high-testosterone act ever and that's fricking a woman, putting a baby in her womb and then raising that baby to be a producer for society and then watch that baby repeat the same process with a partner of their own and then reap the joys of being a grandparent.
All just to live like a teenager as an adult for his entire life and then no one of note will be at his deathbed.

just because life has continued in part thanks to reproduction doesn't mean reproduction is the "point" to life.
This is what Merriam-Webster defines reproduction as.
quote:
: the act or process of reproducing
specifically : the process by which plants and animals give rise to offspring and which fundamentally consists of the segregation of a portion of the parental body by a sexual or an asexual process and its subsequent growth and differentiation into a new individual
Reproduction is literally the only way has continued and is and will be the only way life will ever continue.
If you're representative of the child free movement, you're doing them a disservice as you keep saying dumb shite like this.

child free movement
This is the part that is disturbing. It’s not adults making a choice. It’s a “movement”. (And scatalogically speaking, it is)
They feel the need to recruit easily influenced, emotional people to their cause, not even realizing the masters they are doing the bidding of.
The doom of the west won’t come with a great pitched battle. It won’t come with a thunderclap and the hammering hoofbeats of a conquering horde.
It will come with old men drooling and shitting themselves, forgotten in some home with no sons or daughters to care for them. As we are simply outbred. Demography is destiny.
Couch in whatever terms you want. We were given a new chance, a new homeland, an opportunity to build a great new empire. And we did, until avarice, sloth, lust and gluttony chipped away at the bedrock of our foundation.
We are the victims of halcyon days, when the poor are fat, when we lack the grindstone of life that makes young men sharp.
We fell prey to a sweet poison.

I'd like to offer a different perspective on one of your reasons, though all merit similar consideration.
8. Nice things.
We have an antique oval scroll leg table. It's priceless to us because its perfection has been marred and its market value diminished because it has baby teeth marks on the front edges put there by our oldest son when he was three. He drug an old wooden step stool over to it, climbed precariously onto it and, for reasons known only to himself, chewed it up in several places.
That son is now retired from the Infantry. When he was a squad leader deployed overseas in combat, every time I looked at those teeth marks I was reminded of what a blessing children are and how fleeting and tenuous life is and to pray for my son, his squad, and all the other sons and daughters in harm's way. No lie.
I can't possibly imagine how eagerly fathers and mothers who lost children in the war would give up all sixteen of those awesome reasons (and then some) in order to spend a single hour with their child. Of course they never put any stock in those awesome reasons or they would never have had children to begin with.
Whether or not those sixteen awesome reasons are the stuff fulI, rich, and meaningful lives are made of is debatable. That you've made the right choice respecting having children is probably not.
BTW, I didn't downvote you. I admire your honesty.

If you're a selfish prick. What if your parents decided to go child-free?

First off...the frick I can’t.
Second my kids are grown so I can do anything I want and a lot of times they pay for it.
Third I changed their diapers as equity for when I get to the age I’ll have them change mine. Good luck shitting on yourself.

We are so supremely lucky...so blessed to have this incredible bounty. I can go to the store and for a pittance bring back a feast that rivals the kings of old. Foreign fruits, vegetables out of season, sweets and meats and wines...
And we don’t appreciate it. It’s a disgrace. I’ll give this to the ones that come from foreign lands and outbreed us...at least some of them know how good we have it. And I don’t blame them for resenting us for how we take it for granted.

And one reason it's not: You're sitting in the nursing home alone and forgotten.
I have an "adopted" father who is in a nursing home and I take him out twice a week to spend time outdoors. He has 4 children, 8 grandchildren (that are all over 21) and all but 1 Gchild lives within 30 minutes of him and he sees all but one of them 3 times a year at holidays. He has one daughter that visits him every other Sunday. This is a man that did everything for his kids and all profess to love him and none of them are remotely trash, well in every other way.

Propaganda to lessen the white population IMO
Child free would be very unfulfilling

I’m going to Hawaii Sunday morning, don’t think that would be possible with children!

35 year old child-free-by-choice female chiming in.
Kids aren't for everyone, I don't have much of a maternal instinct. I love my niece and nephew and adore my friends' kids, but that doesn't mean I want to raise my own.
I have a job that requires unconventional hours, but I love it and am not ready to give it up. I live in a dual-income household where we are able to meet for burgers and beers at the drop of a hat. We traveled to Japan last fall. I get that kids give people a sense of fulfillment, but not everyone is the same. I get my fulfillment from other things, and I don't feel a profound loss from not having children.
I feel so deeply for those who want them and can't have them, but I refuse to believe that my "purpose" is to procreate. I like my life the way it is and if that's selfish, then so be it.

I guess my point is that I'm a grown arse adult and I can decide what's best for me. To have anyone imply that my worth is less than someone who chose a different lifestyle based on the things that a lot of us find important is ludicrous.
I think it's awesome that you're able to do all of the fun things and also raise children. I could probably do it, too. I just don't want to.
Y'all keep populating so I don't have to

quote:Agreed. I haven't read the whole thread but if anyone implied you're a lesser person for not having kids then that's ridiculous. Just pushing back at some of the posters that frame parenthood as 18 years of missed vacations(traveling to Japan for example), changing diapers, and sleepless nights.

Totally fair. I fully support and encourage those who are so super stoked on parenthood. I just think it's weird to assume that every woman is obsessed with being a mother. (absolutely not saying that you're one of those).
