POV: you're a childless mid-30s woman focusing on your career. Imagine choosing this over a husband and children.

18 years of child raising is a huge responsibility. Being a parent is not for everyone.

Sure it is. All humans throughout history form families and have children. It's the most natural thing in the world. NOT doing it is abnormal.

It's the most natural thing in the world.

So is being riddled with parasites, dying young, incest, disfiguring skin diseases, cancer, and being ignorant as fuck. "Natural" is over-rated.

NOT doing it is abnormal.

Abnormal like medical care, clothes, hygiene, living past 40, reading and writing, and a secure food supply.

There's a name for the logical fallacy you just used, but I can't recall it at the moment.

I'm more than a little surprised at all the people who were triggered by this post and came out of the woodwork to defend sterility. But that's the reality of paid posters on the internet these days.

Its the naturalistic fallacy, and it's not me that fell for it. It's the foolish idea that just because something is "natural" it must be good.

There are some natural things which are good, some are conditionally good, some are neutral, and many are bad.

Having children is not bad. It's good.

No fallacy here.

Are you a mid-30s unmarried childless woman who has hit the wall? I'm more than a little surprised at something this uncontroversial being pushed back against so hard. The thing to do now is embrace being a wine aunt and be a cautionary example to your nieces.
