Reply to comment by Gombreezy in LPT: If a single friend of yours has said they don’t want children, don’t start asking them if they’ve changed their mind if/when they find a partner. by dubdoll

Exactly!

My sister said her friends were saying all those things and almost trying to convince her why she should want them. It’s not the 1950s anymore, if a person doesn’t want kids, they don’t have to have them.

It wasn't appropriate to ask in the 50's either but people will do what they do.

Oh yeah for sure. But it was basically assumed that that’s what you would do as a woman.

Can I stop paying taxes too if I don't want to? Who cares about the long term consequences for the rest of society as a whole, right? After all, my own ego is the highest authority there is, and absolutely NO ONE has any right to hold any expectations to my behavior or decisions...
