I mean, gently caress, it's cool if someone chooses not to have kids, but I'm always weirded out how most people that brag about how awesome it is to not have kids are just really boring, lovely people. It's never "I didn't have kids, so I went to this awesome Halloween party! We dropped acid in the woods while wearing costumes and played paintball, it was crazy!" or anything worth bragging about. It's always just "I don't have any kids so I got to play 40 straight hours of video games and shovel Doritos in my face". If that makes you happy, cool. You do you and all that jazz, but if you brag about how great it was to not have any kids because you weren't forced to leave the house and have social interactions on one of the coolest adult holidays of the year, it's just going to come across as kind of pathetic.

Re: Childfree, I always kind of giggle when I see people who are in their early 20s talking about how they are childfree. Like...that's pretty normal. I'm 27 and I don't have kids and on Halloween I went to a friend's house, got drunk and came home at 2am. All the people at the party were my age or older. None of them had kids. Never once did the subject of us not having children come up. It seems weird to be obsessed with telling people you are so glad you don't have kids.

Wake up, feed kid, work, come home, do stuff w kid, maybe a hobby if there's time, sleep. Most people are boring and lovely really.

A lot of the Childfree weirdness is because of family/social/DOCTOR pressures to have kids; e.g., family hounding you every time "when you gonna have a babby", Doctor refusing medical procedures because "you may want babby some day." So people get pretty frustrated and so the backlash is kind of a byproduct of that built up frustration. Not that it isn't funny or over the top, like that story where some goth threw ketchup on some kids in mcdonalds because they were loud.

I asked about permanent contraception for YEARS and the doctor kept looking at me like I dropped a baby on the floor, then punted it out the window and did a victory dance. Or people who assume that I am somehow defective for not wanting them. Yes, I hate babies because I know I have health issues. Thank you. I also imagine some of it is that parents at jobs often gets first picks of time off, etc while single and childless people get saddled with things and that builds resentment.

As I understand it the 'core' of the movement, as in the people with a legitimate greivance, is more in the deep south where young women especially have to deal with that in a massive way. Most of the people making the louder, stupider and funnier posts are facing far more minor (or nonexistent) issues, though.

Don't act like you don't know. Don't passive-agressivly act like you have no loving idea what goes on in the world with google at your fingertips, trying to act all smug just because you don't know a trans person, you're "cool" enough to part of the same lovely group you are actively mocking on this forum.

I'm a lesbian and I get told at the gynecologist that I should be taking prenatal vitamins because "you never know when it can happen!" (I do! It would involve rape!), but: 1) why are people who are so anti-kid be thinking constantly and posting constantly about how they don't have kids and defining themselves as anti-child 2) how many of these people end up just having kids Whenever I meet people who are virulently childfree, I get the distinct impression that the lady doth protest too much. Or I hang out with too many gay people who have no prospect of reproducing so we don't obsess about it and talk about things that have nothing to do with children because we are adults. My favorite restaurant/bar is 21 and over for a reason, though. Sweet, sweet silence.

Maybe you're just lucky. I frequently get asked "When are you going to give me some grand kids?" By my parents, when anyone who asks about my interest in children founds out that I don't have any, for any reason, they smugly tell me that I'll change my mind and that I'm wrong for not wanting to have kids because babies. It gets grating, especially when parents who don't do the whole parenting thing and let their kids run around screaming get away with so much but any other adult gets poo poo on for stepping out of line or just having a bad day in general. I can get why these people say this poo poo online, because not everyone deals with it as well as others. Some people drink their frustration away, some people vent online to other like-minded individuals.

My parents don't really care if I have kids or not. Being physically disabled means issues with giving birth to kids anyway. Also, I have depression and such that I don't want to pass down. I'm Canadian, so maybe it's different.

Nope. She wrote me a script for prenatal vitamins. I did not choose to fill it. I should also mention that during this appointment, I specifically asked to go on birth control because of cramps. So even if I was getting porked on the regular by a man, I clearly didn't want to get pregnant. Oh, she also tried to sell me on the prenatal vitamins by telling me it would make me hair grow. I have short hair. Like, boy-short. I hate having my hair grow. It just means more haircuts. But now I'm at an LGBT friendly doctor's office where the most awkward thing they ask is my pronouns multiple times within a visit.

I thought the nice hair thing ipregnant women came from pregnancy hormones anyway, and not prenatal vitamins (but because of the timing people assume it's the vitamins.) Maybe you just need a new doctor. Eta: somehow missed the last part of your post!
