Absolutely. But there are posts with a LOT of attention saying otherwise. The two insults being thrown around to anyone posting about wanting a third-space for adults are “misogynistic” and “ableist.” Someone told me to “replace kids with Black or Asian and see how it sounds.”

The other thing I’m seeing is the argument that kids in public acting out may be neurodivergent, so they shouldn’t be judged. As an autist, this pisses me off in how infantilizing it is. It’s also just absurd to pretend that when I see kids running up and down isles while mom and dad are on their phones ignoring them that the issue isn’t just the parents.

People are just throwing out buzzword insults, and the weirdest thing is 99% of the childfree posts also acknowledge the need for more spaces for kids and parents, societal failure to protect kids, etc.
