I think it’s stupid and worrying that their ideas are gaining traction.
I am not opposed to people not having children or representing themselves as a block, but the idea that having kids is bad is just plain dumb.
My own experience in life makes it reek a lot like mental health issues in those who are antinatalists.
@sexy_peach I still don’t know if I’m going to have kids, since I’m single and almost reaching the 30s haha (and by that time I don’t think I’ll get a choice of having kids or not - I’ll either be with someone already having a kid or decided on not having kids already).
Out of all things not working in my country, I feel that the medical and educational systems work the worst, so they’ll weigh a lot in my decision, I guess, but I have to say the arguments these people bring are dumb as hell. No one ever asked life to happen, life just happens, whether we like it or not. Stuff sometimes happens regardless of your decisions or preferences, and we have to put up with it, and adapt ourselves accordingly.
@sexy_peach This is what I think for myself. I don’t think people should be judged based on their decision of having children or not. After all, we live in a free (part of the) world. But again, some of the arguments these people bring are a bit nonsense (and we are free to judge these instead).
