"You'll enjoy raising the kids unless you have some kind of personality disorder" is one of the most unpleasant, exclusionary and normative things I've read in a long time. You are talking about 20% of the population. More than any other minority group in America. [0] That is large enough to be a perfectly ordinary slice of human variety. Even if you object to that study's methods it is a huge chunk of the populace. The portion of the population that doesn't want to and will not enjoy raising children is also a group of people who should not be parents, obviously. Describing them as having a "personality disorder" achieves what? At best, it pressures probable bad parents into reproducing.... or is that at worst? Being aware that one won't find raising children rewarding and responding appropriately is highly moral. It isn't a mental illness. And this nasty, toxic approach to 1/5th of your fellow humans is just something you toss off dismissively in a thread about video game modding? This is the behavior of a person who ostensibly does not have a personality disorder?
