There is no cultural celebratory template for women who decide not to have children.

*rolling eyes* Now these people think they should be celebrated for doing NOTHING? No wonder they didn't have kids. They're too damned self-centered!

Some people should not have children. My parents definitely shouldn't have, although I am glad to be alive.

I wouldn't want to join a group specifically for people who choose not to have children. I've met women like that and they're big diesel feminists. No thanks.

Let us hope the ME generation does not reproduce itself ...

Islam reproduces with high birth rates and conversion (forced or voluntary).

"Whether or not I want to have kids is not the only consideration," said Wenker. "I believe there's a problem with population, serious issues with the environment, and I believe I have to be part of the solution."

..."I've thrown baby showers for girlfriends, and it's kind of this rite of passage," said Wenker. "We're going to buy you presents to get you started and treat you like Queen for a Day. It doesn't occur to anybody to celebrate a child-free woman in that way."

This Wenker sounds like a real wanker.

Do you think everyone should have children, regardless of their ability to raise them?

Knowing ahead of time that you are unsuitable as a parent is not being selfish. It's being enlightened.

Selfish is right. Well, all of these couples had better get on board with open borders. We'll need illegals to have all the children who will work and pay taxes, in order to support social security in 20 years. Read Mark Steyn. Look at the enlightened Eurasian Empire and consider...

Well, not totally self-centered or they'd succumb to pressure and probably become resentful and rotten parents. And any kids would be the losers.

When I was in collage I cleaned houses to pay for school. One woman I cleaned for was about 80 years old. She had lived a full life. She retired from two careers. Had awards from every president from FDR to Reagan. Knew everyone who was anyone. Trophies, placks(?), you name it. Even the medal (sorry don't remember the name) given to civilians for valor.
She however told me many times with tears in her eyes that none of it made any difference, as there was no child to share it with.
If she could have relived her life knowing what she knew, she told me that she would have given it all up, to be able to have children and grandchildren.
In a nut shell her life was a waste of conceit. Her words not mine.
My heart broke for her, but there was nothing that could be done, it was to late.
