Given the context of the thread, I'm referring to people who remain child-free for all of their lives. And "evolutionary dead-end" isn't calling anyone names. It's just what it is.
I tend to agree with you on having children a little later.
- smoldesu 3y agoPeople who remain child-free their whole lives generally don't plan it to be that way. It's the sum of cumulative questions asked at multiple points in your life: "am I ready to raise children?" We aren't predestined to dead-end lives or evolutionary staleouts, sometimes virile and willing individuals die before they conceive. I think your characterization is futile, and the wrong lens of looking at majority of non-sterile people. Couples do indeed shy away from raising a child, but shaming them for temporarily turning down the question is the wrong response.
