Doesn’t say it outright, no, but it says it’s vitally important that we reproduce for the good of the species and the economy. What do you call someone that refuses to do something that’s so important for everyone?
As a society as a whole, yes currently things are set up that way, pretending otherwise is straight up denial. Equally some folk don’t want or can’t have kids, that’s also fine. Both these things can be true without anyone accusing anyone of being selfish.
I’m guessing you came here from All and didn’t seek out this community specifically?
Scrolling through All provides a glimpse into the variety the Fediverse offers. Even when I find a community I don’t agree with or care to hear about, I can simply block it. Meanwhile, I’m glad that those who do value those topics have a place to discuss things.
Which is all to say that those who feel strongly about being childfree deserve their space to talk about it, regardless of your feelings toward their opinions. This is their space, and nobody’s forcing you to be here.
This post is weirdly judgemental.
If you like your child free life so much, why do you feel the need to comment on those that aren’t.
Because parents comment on our “selfish” child free life all fucking day long, I guess
Do we? Are these parents in the room with us now?
Yes
There’s not even that many comments, something tells me you didn’t even check first.
The one you linked doesn’t call anyone selfish.
