You forgot an option for "Having kids makes some people solipsistic assholes who think the entire world revolves around them and their crotch-dumplings."
I know more people who have become self-absorbed monsters after popping out kids than I do selfish people who choose not to have children. That doesn't mean every family with kids is selfish -- far from it -- but I have never understood how choosing not to have kids is seen as a selfish option by some parents. I'm opting to use fewer resources, spend less money, create less waste, have more income to devote to charity and have more free time with which to volunteer; how does that make me selfish for not spawning?
Is this true about couples without kids?
