I truly respect the decision to not have children if it is made by someone who knows themselves well enough to acknowledge that they just aren't parenting material and feel no need for a child. That is a responsible, fair decision and I respect it and the person making it. What I do NOT respect is people who, having decided that they don't want children themselves, then resort to calling people who do "breeders" and calling the pre born baby a "parasite" and acting as though abortion is of no more consequence then getting a tatoo. That is not just someone who has decided not to have a child speaking. That is hatred, rage, and ugliness speaking and denotes the need for real quick therapy.
Can I ask you why did you start this thread in the parenting forum?
First I thought you had a problem with people not accepting your decision. Then I thought you were complaining about not finding the right girl. Now I see you have been traumatized by parenting situations around you.
The question is: what are you looking for validation or different point of views?
I will give you my feedback in case you are interested.
First and foremost life happens. Tomorrow you could meet your soul mate and you decide you want to start a family with her.
Second you have experienced the hard work of what parents do but not the rewards. There are rewards.
At 16 I was anti-marriage because my parents were going through a divorce after years of fighting. Now I now what a good marriage is all about.
If you do not want children that is OK but don't make your decision based on what you have seen on others. Make the decision based on what is right for you because of who you are. Good luck.

I ask on this section because most of the people I face harassment from are parents. I've been called selfish, an animal, immature, all that. I've already come from a dysfunctional home.

They need to understand that I'm anti-parent and somewhat becoming anti-women.
Why should we bother trying to understand you if you are telling us up front you hate us? I am not going to waste my time any longer reading this thread.

Because I tried to be get parents to understand me in the past, but they continued to harass, criticize and judge me.
No I don't have a problem with people who don't want children. What I have problem with, people who don't like or love children, or people who think parents with 5 or more kids are crazy. Those are the people I have a big problem understanding.
Why should I or anyone else have to like or love children
Yea, thats what I don't understand either. Not everybody likes or loves children. Some can't stand kids with a passion.
