Not sure what that means, but if it means that child free people fuss over other people's kids, that might be due to the fact that they can walk away when they get bored or annoyed...a definite plus.

Agreed that it's a definite plus to be able to walk away when those children have no boundaries and the parents just sit back and smile as little Johnny or Jenny runs wild.

What will a white-minority US look like?
There are various reasons, aside from monetary, that intelligent people use to make the decision to not procreate.

It makes sense just because less-intelligent people are less equipped to assess consequences and less likely to have retained what they have been taught about things like birth control. Sure, having kids can be very rewarding, but there are a host of downsides that a smart woman is more likely to take into consideration than a less-intelligent woman who may be more willing to bow to broader societal pressure to reproduce.

Your sister does not represent all child free women...you do realize that, don't you? As for your commentary on how all women with kids are radiant and goddesses...

"usually always"...isn't that redundant? And on that point, any women worth her salt, does not need a man to attain a "higher quality" of life". If you are male and I am assuming that you are, your really give yourself an exaggerated sense of self-importance. Any male of the species that understands that a woman is not measured by the children she has or chooses not to have, is the one that can call himself a man.

Amen!

Not to mention - not all childfree women are single feminists who go to bars.
And I've seen plenty of women WITH kids wind up divorced, bitter, in bars, drinking and becoming cougars.
GMAFB, right?

Lol! Your proclamations are always quite erroneous and amusing. Is this anything like you "Canadians don't see colour?" How about "French and Jews mixing together produces idiots?"
Boohoo! I was robbed of a real life of indentured servitude, chained to the stove and washing machine, with my only goal of keeping my man happy. I don't know how I lived through it.

Furthermore, I thought there was nothing sadder than a woman drinking like a man at a bar. (another one of your proclamations)
Now it's a woman having wine at a party?
What's the matter with you?

Or, it may be that kids suck all the intelligence, and patience out of their parents.
