    As a woman, you couldn’t PAY ME to have a baby, you NEVER could. You know that shit in A Handmaid’s Tale where they send the women who are too old to have kids out to work the fields until they die? Sign me up, because I’d rather be dead than bring a child into this world that has gotten only more and more fucked up as I’ve been alive. I always say, I love *my *children so much that I refuse to give them life on Earth.

      Yes! You can’t pay me enough to bring my children here to suffer. If I’m not willing to be part of anyone’s war, why should I subject my descendants to do that? We all know how this IRL “civilization” game is played. And it’s anything but civilized.

    Many researchers believe this accelerating global shift is being driven in large part by a positive reality. Young couples, and women in particular, have far more freedom and economic independence. They’re weighing their options and appear to be making very different choices about the role of children in their lives.

    Lol the wolves are upset the sheep aren’t breeding enough.

    Ancedotal: I wanted 3 kids. I have none. I’d like to think I’d produce a better than average member of society. While I have more money than many Americans, I don’t feel like I have job security, financial security, and I see my country in a decline, where quality of life is lower than it was during my childhood, and my parents lifetime.

      That’s the thing… They don’t want you to produce a better than average member of society. Better than average members are less likely to accept low wages in crap jobs without complaining. There are only a handful of good paying jobs in the future and those are for nepo-babies. Merit no longer matters.
