That's a stretch, and maybe true for you, but the world is full of people, such as you described, that haven't got that issue. Not wanting kids doesn't automatically make you bad with responsibilities.

It only makes you a person that doesn't want kids.

Edit: I can't read

Literally said in the comment you replied to that I was talking about myself and nobody else (and it was never edited) so not sure why you responded with this.

Apologies, I'm not sure how, but I never saw the last paragraph

Righteous indignation will do that, and I’ve been guilty in the past of the same.

No worries. I’m not painting with a broad brush, I’m recognizing myself in a way the others relate to :)

Have a great morning/day/afternoon/evening/night, depending where you are :D

Edit - I didn’t realize that righteous indignation has a specific religious meaning. I was aiming for less religious and more just sort of …defending the downtrodden. Is there a better word for that?

Edit 2: I learned how to strikethrough for this and it worked!
