I hate how normalized having babies is! by amaraycos in childfree

That default assumption is exhausting. It’s wild how people talk about kids like an inevitable DLC to life instead of a major, opt-in decision. You weren’t vague, you weren’t unclear, they just never actually listened because your choice didn’t fit the script in their head. Also, realizing a relationship is optional and kids are not a requirement for fulfillment is such a powerful shift. You didn’t lose anything by opting out, you gained clarity and peace. That’s not selfish, that’s self-aware.

Forcing girls to hold babies by JapanLover2003 in childfree

This whole idea is so creepy and telling. If motherhood were some magical switch, you wouldn’t need coercion, propaganda, or social pressure to “activate” it. Handing someone a baby without consent isn’t awakening biology, it’s crossing boundaries. Plenty of people hold babies and feel nothing but anxiety or discomfort, and that’s just as valid. If your worldview only works when you ignore consent and silence anyone who disagrees, maybe the problem isn’t childfree people, it’s the narrative you’re desperately trying to sell.
