I agree with everything you say about being childfree and I can tell you as a man that I hear the same things you do when you express your feelings about not having children (I am assuming that you are female from your username, apologies if that is incorrect). However, this anecdotal evidence says nothing about society as a whole.

> However, this anecdotal evidence says nothing about society as a whole. I didn't bother bringing religion into it because that's a whole 'nother can of worms, but it has such a societal impact on what's deemed "acceptable" if not downright "expected" that we've illegalized the options available for people because of it. I've also read a few AskMeFi's in which husbands and wives have both asked the best course of direction for a babycrazy spouse that wouldn't take no for an answer once they sealed the deal, due either to religious belief or family pressure. Unfun stuff.
