I am really starting to believe that the whole hardcore childfree thing is mostly just a way for straight white women to feel oppressed without ever actually having to be oppressed. Because real oppression sucks. Real oppression involves stuff like being forcibly sterilized, or being gassed to death because you're an ethnic minority, or having your clitoris sliced off with a rusty knife when you're seven-years-old.
It's either that, or the hardcore childfreers live in a parallel, but seperate, world called Breed-Or-Die-istan, where everyday is an endless round of abuse from breeders, who will harrass any childless woman to pump out as many babies as possible. I must somehow avoid living in this world, because despite being a female of childbearing age, I never experience this harrassment.
I don't think it's psychologically healthy to hate ANY group blindly, whether they're children, old people, obese people, Jews, Mexicans, whatever. And for GOD'S SAKE I am not saying childfree people should become parents. Furthest thing from it. If anything, communicating with them has me in full support of their position that they should remain childless.
