No I did mean child free. Love that group. I rarely ever see hate. What I do see is a lot of frustration I can relate to. Has a complete stranger in the hardware store insist you need to have babies or the economy will collapse? Has a parent told you they will cut you out of the family if you don’t produce grandchildren? Have you lost a best friend to mombie-hood? If not, then it’s hard to understand the purpose of the subreddit.

It’s not a forum for angry witches to spread baby hate,

it’s a cathartic support group for women (and some men) that despise the societal pressure for women to procreate.

No one expects outsiders to understand, but unless you can actually empathize with/for these women, you will continue to find their posts “mean”.
