Saying "Having children is selfish" screams (I'm a grown adult that never mentally matured past my emo phase in 7-9 grade) lol.
Having children is the most selfless thing you can do. You are literally taking the focus of life completely off of yourself and putting it on to another human being. You then give all your resources for their sake.
Exactly!! It’s the people who say this who are selfish. It’s a lifelong commitment and the most rewarding thing someone will ever do!
Inb4 (<-havent used that one in a while) that one person shows up to tell you how wrong you are because "not everybody can have kids"
And don’t forget the superpowers that come with it

Who says that?
"I pretend my choices effect the lives of humanity as a whole to mask my insecurities and vices with a veneer of virtue. I've subscribed to both Malthusianism and the tenets of the sexual revolution so I can justify my selfish desire for no-strings-attached sex by saying that since I'm not procreating it's ok. Then I can look down on those in committed monogamy who are selflessly sacrificing for their partner and progeny because they are clogging up valuable space and resources in an overpopulated earth. And that is selfish."
