[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be honest OP: you're really 33 and have another decade of fertility, and you're likely going to have children.

I wish the media/socials would stop overusing the word DINKs and limit it to the people who are truly DINKs for life. ie, they're 55 years old, or both partners have had tubal ligation/hysterectomy/vasectomy.

(yes, I know families can be formed in many ways and vasectomy can be reverse. but at least this is a tangible sign you're deeply committed rather than an attention seeking Gen Z)[/quote]

I recently saw a reputable survey that said more than half of young women did not want to be parents, whereas more than half of young men wanted to be parents.

I know someone will ask me to post a link,  but I don’t feel like searching for it . The point is that I found those data to be disturbing and also indicative of the fact that as a society, we make the experience of parenting much more appealing for men than for women (in 2024).

That makes zero sense because how would you really know how “appealing” parenting is unless you have done it. It’s just as likely that all of the hyperbolic rhetoric (like above) about how horrible things are for Moms gives young women a skewed sense of reality.[/quote]
