> Having babies naturally sucks. It’s difficult, painful, and something that people do because they have to, not because it’s fun.

An unpopular fact: nobody has to reproduce. It's an optional, opt-in choice.

Most people seem to make this choice, like many other lifestyle choices, so it's easy to gloss over the fact that it's a decision that was made (and that that decision has consequences). But a decision it is, and an optional one it remains.



There are many, many people for whom it is not an opt-in choice; rape is extremely common.
