RE: The Taboo of Not Wanting Children

in #life7 years ago

I think it's great that you've decided this for yourself. As a man, I'm TERRIFIED of what women have to go through to birth a child. I would not want this for myself and I can surely understand a woman not wanting this for herself.

I find it rather funny, too, that so many people have recognized that we're severely overpopulating the planet, but still push this baby-crazed-family-unit mentality on others. We NEED more families adopting the countless children that have no homes, lost in a system that doesn't really care about them or their futures.

I commend you for your commitment to yourself. :)

Hello, it's really great to see a man commenting on a post like this. Maybe it is mainly other women who cant understand. You are absolutely correct, there are 1000's of children in need of loving homes and families, people just can't seem to break away from their conditioning though.

I really appreciate your comments, I thought I might get some negative reactions here but the first response was yours which was really positive and understanding :)
