Even the cat seems to dislike her.

You can tell she doesn't have children because she's got a coffee maker sitting on the kitchen floor. My sons would turn that into a nuclear reactor in less time than it took her to arrest that obviously-aggrieved cat.

Well, if she doesn't have kids, that's fewer moonbats in the next generation. I encourage all liberals to use birth control freely. :)

Yeah, there's definitely a little bit of "you make kitty scared" in that expression.

Okay, I guess for a human interest story. People not having children either through choice or chance is not a big deal, anymore, so this isn't exactly earth-shattering. I do find it a little amusing that no one in San Francisco has a problem with adults that want to live "child-free" wanting to go places where they won't encounter children, but would be up in arms if someone started a "gay free" podcast for people who didn't want to be around homosexuals.

It's a small-time podcast with a miniscule audience, run by someone who sounds a little bit nutty and self-absorbed. No big deal, and none of my business, but I notice that for the San Francisco two income no children so smug they're in love with the smell of their own f*rts crowd, the right to freely associate or not is a one way street.

Only two cats? Usually those of her ilk have no less than ten. What a piker. ;)

I don' t have any kids of my own. I have never had the urge to give birth to any, either. However, God saw what a WONDERFUL woman I am, and blessed me with three boys to raise anyway; my StepSon and my two Nephews. :)

I sure ended up with a houseful for someone who never wanted kids, LOL!

I'm glad folks like her don't want to breed. That constant "I Never Really Wanted You, Anyway" carping is really hard on kids. ;)

So with all those pots and pans in her kitchen, who does she cook for? The cats?

I like cheese
Do you like cheese

Oh goody, lets form a focus group, a club
exclude and castrate those who do not like cheese
Oh yes, send me money so I can educate you into
how evil it is to not like cheese,
Sic the Lawyers on un-likers
Until every one likes cheese

BTW - that cat looks pissed
mine like to snuggle

Look, if she doesn't want to have kids, that's fine, but there's no need to form an organization about it, which will inevitably escalate into demanding special rights and privileges. Besides, who'd want to procreate with these broads anyway? These women couldn't get a man if it was closing time at the bar and were the only gals inside of it.

I honestly don't think it is any of my business if someone decides to have 1 child, a dozen or no children. It would never occur to me to question any woman about her procreation plans. Nor can I think of anyone who would be so rude.

So just where are these legions of agony aunts and busy bees who are unable to restrain themselves from assaulting the childess? Where are all the people making these poor women feel so defensive and indignant?
Where are these thundering herds calling out " breed, breed, BREED"? What? You don't know. Don't be surprised, I can't see or hear them either.

I think the persons in the article are more obsessed with their own choice than anyone else. If they are so confident why the need for support groups, self justification and cats? Why the superior sneer and disdain evident in their statements about children and parenthood.?

I think quite frankly that too many have probably told them " frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" and now they wnat back in the limelight. A few hours with a colicky child ought shut em up for a while.

I really wish here mother made the decision to be child free.

San Francisco is simply the most psychologically delusional' brain-dead' idiotic' maniacal fantasy land in the entire USA. The Big Earthquake simply can't happen soon enough, if only to give idiots like this something serious in their lives to attend to, instead of this banal crap.

"..San Francisco has one of the lowest ratios of kids of any U.S. city.."

No Surprise there, the Gay Capitol of the US.

I'm always THRILLED when I hear of someone deciding to not have kids.

Deciding to not be a parent, essentially, clips those genes from the tree of life like you snap a sucker off of an orange tree...It makes the tree stronger.
