    I had kids so that others don’t have to.

    I like my kids, but I don’t like most other people’s kids. So yay, DINKs!

      So that others don’t have to? Can you elaborate on that?

      Like, I don’t subscribe to any replacement theory, not to keep social security/economy afloat, not to keep any particular race dominant over others, not so humans maintain mastery of earth and nature, nothing. I am not sure why my not having children would drive someone else to have kids. They could just… only have the kids they want and not weigh my lack-of-kids into their equation.
