How is bringing children into this viper pit productive?

The world has always been a viper pit. In fact the one who it belongs to has long been referred to as a serpent.

Any number of people throughout the ages could have taken your stance with a lot more basis for it.

"Why would I bring any children in to this World? So they can be taken into slavery by the Mongol hoards".

"Why would I bring any children into this world? So they can die from the Black Plague?"

"Why would I bring any children into this world? So they can be slaughtered by marauding Norsemen?"

Thankfully your and my ancestors were made of sterner stuff. This world today is a cakewalk compared to days long ago.

My reason for not having children has nothing to do with the state of world, good or bad.

I just can't stand kids...

Your post is nonsense.

Fully effective birth control didn’t arrive until the 1960’s with oral contraceptives.

Those “people throughout the ages” had babies whether they wanted them or not. There did not yet exist totally reliable methods to keep nature from taking its course.

Once women “gained control over their bodies”, EVERYthing changed, particularly in the West (but not necessarily limited to The West, as consider the plummeting birthrate in Japan).

It is women who have by default chosen the future of The West, by rejecting their traditional roles of mother and homekeeper. I’m not going to say that’s “wrong”, I’m simply stating that it _is_.

Look at the plunging birthrates in Europe. Those women are childless by choice.

Whether it be in the face of Mogols or the black plague, women of that time had no choice. The men had them, and they got pregnant.

Ain’t that way no mo’....
