We are taught that it’s important to be respectful, yet a couple’s decision to not have a family is still openly frowned upon. A woman who doesn’t want children is still considered abnormal, a childless man is thought to be selfish and immature.
It is not the business of anyone but the couple (and potentially their doctors) whether they should decide to have children. That means it’s none of your business, so think before you utter any of these condescending phrases to a childless/childfree person.
THIS.
just, this.
I want this on a t-shirt
reblogged for my exboyfriend
my mother telling me that I will change my mind. BYE NO I WONT.
Not that I can produce children, but reblogging for my boyfriend’s choice to not have kids either
THIS. THIS. I’m also a fan of the “You’ll believe in a higher power when you have a baby.” No. I believe in biology and reproductive science and having a baby would reinforce that. I also very much believe in the feminists before me that made reproductive choice and freedom common ideas, freeing womyn from the shackles of unwanted motherhood. Unfortunately it seems like most people have gathered “you can choose to wait to have a baby” as the only option, and forget “you can choose to never have a baby.”
