We seem to be moving away from that with threads like this where if a person disagrees with you, we get a large group doing nothing but attacking anyone that disagrees with them. I keep hearing how people are saying, "I'm offended by that post," only to turn around and attack that person much worse than they ever did in the first place. Grow up.
I think that maybe a sticky singing the praises of tact would probably suffice.


To all the non-child wanting folks who feel oppressed, get over it. Nobody in here has made any sort of claim that it is wrong to not idealize parenthood. Feel free to express your disinclination towards being a parent. However, if you feel like making statements about the qualia of being a parent and you have never actually been a parent you should recognize that it is highly likely that you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to that particular topic.
