The thing is though...

It's possible for a woman to avoid the drudgery of marriage and children without embracing whoredom. It's a great life strategy, isn't sinful, and is actually quite common.

A woman cannot "avoid the drudgery" of marriage and children withing being in Sin.

- Marriage and fruitfulness are part of God’s pre-fall creation order (Gen 1–2).

- Childbearing remains God’s normative calling for women even after the fall; the pain is curse, but the role is blessing.

- The New Testament never revokes the creation mandate and repeatedly commands or strongly commends marriage and childbearing for the majority of women.

Therefore, intentionally rejecting marriage and motherhood simply to avoid difficulty, responsibility, or “drudgery” has traditionally been viewed as disobedience to God’s revealed will (and in some cases as outright rebellion against the role in which God promises sanctification).

That's simply not true.

Jesus was single. Paul was single. Both of them encouraged men (and by extension women) to remain unmarried. They went out of their way to tell us that neither marriage, nor remaining single is sinful.

No disrespect to those who find fulfillment in marriage and child rearing. But those who opt out aren't implicitly choosing whoredom. Some do go down that path, of course. But others are celibate and just go about the business of enjoying their lives.

They were speaking about the gift if righteous celebacy for devoting one's entire life to Christ, not "a good strategy" to enjoy their lives.

LOL. Can't tell if you're trolling me or if you actually believe this.

You should repent for calling God's design for man and woman and children drudgery.

Not rocket science to see that avoiding it for personal gratification is sinful.
