I can kind of relate, I'm really young (only 22) and I'm convicted in my absolute resolution that I will not have children. Don't want them, don't want the responsibility, don't want the financial setbacks, don't want the glares and questions as a gay Dad. Don't want any of it.
I tend to get the patronising "oh you're only 22, you'll change your mind!", or even worse from my family "oh just wait until you find the right WOMAN!". I don't think the message has quite sunk in...
I get the vibe that it's even worse for women though, since *obviously* a woman's sole purpose in life is to reproduce and provide children... in a world where not even enough resources for 3 billion people is being stretched between 7, and counting.
IIN that people who act superior because they have kids annoy me
