no but the weird part is when people start outwardly disliking kids just because they don’t want them for themselves

I remember when I was younger people who didn’t like children were considered old and miserable lmao. We were all children once

Entitled isn’t the right word to use there. Maybe expected to like children is what you meant?

Yes sorry I’m half asleep. There are people out there who don’t like cats and dogs, and there are people out there who don’t like children. It just is what it is. Nobody has to like children. Esp women who live their entire lives being pressured to have children, then being shamed when they don’t have children

absolutely why would you think i’m suggesting being mean TO kids. that’s not the same as telling other adults that you dislike children

Also idk how to explain but the whole “this generation hates children” rhetoric is incredibly disingenuous and I feel like it comes from conservatives trying to control women and make them have more kids. You’ll be labeled as a child hater just because you don’t want to be around them or have one

as much as that sucks for those of us who do like and want kids i think we need to be realistic and acknowledge that the people who don’t want kids, especially women, get so much more hate and pressure related to their choice

no but if your friend says she can’t go to smth because she has to watch her kid and your reaction is “ugh that little gremlin again?” or you make a face of disgust whenever you see kids out in public yeah thats rude. you can def be rude about disliking kids even if its not to their faces directly.

I do acknowledge that. But we shouldn’t excuse one because of another. Neither should be happening

yes but one is an anomaly, the other is a pervasive pattern of misogyny

again i’m talking about telling other adults, at appropriate times, that you don’t like or want children. a LOT of people do have a problem with that and while what you’re suggesting is fine and dandy in theory, the reality is that the pro-kid camp too often will take ANY expressed dislike of children as people hating kids these days

notice how OP already likened not wanting to have kids to hating children or to being miserable. it’s always “turning into hating children” when you can’t tolerate any difference in personal disposition

i can understand being pissy if there's a baby screaming the whole flight but ppl gotta understand it's not the baby's fault. like it's a fucking baby that's what they do 😭 like u can't just expect a mom to what? like leave her child behind? it's crazy

ok: disliking kids or not wanting them isn’t the same thing as hating them and hating kids is weird and wrong

I saw something bitching that babies can fly free (if they sit on someone’s lap ofc) and animals can’t. Like ?

yes but people blur the line and come at people for hating kids all the time when all they’re doing is disliking them, op included
