This may be an unpopular opinion, but as bad as things are, I still wouldn’t want to live in any other time. Today, women can go to college and open their own bank accounts without permission of a man, we aren’t working 12 hours a day in filthy factories with no labor laws, and aren’t dying in mass of appendicitis and tuberculosis. But I still don’t want kids, just because it sounds miserable. I just want to admit that nothing about parenting interests me, and not feel guilted into having a “non-selfish” excuse, like climate change, or financial reasons.
