I never saw takes like this until i joined social media, and 95% of them are from white parents, so I& #39;m not understanding why I keep seeing this on my timeline LOL. It& #39;s clear that white/class entitlement is a major factor in thinking your kids take precedent over everyone else. https://twitter.com/yagirltoomuch/status/1249727904575041540">https://twitter.com/yagirltoo...

I think it is also very clear that a lot of y& #39;all on both sides of this debate (childless/childfree vs having kids) hate children in a general sense, even though you were once children. I also think the childfree community is racist and often classist and childist/ageist.

American society in general harbors a distinct hatred toward children that borders on deranged simply because children, via capitalism/child support systems/lack of civic support (chidcare), represent a burden or debt. They are a punishment or a moralistic dog whistle to y& #39;all.

I think a lot of Americans forget that children are *people,* and this includes most parents. Folks are attempting to arbitrarily count 16-20 year olds as children under the guise of protection even though... nobody is being protected either way. It& #39;s about power.

Not having children isn& #39;t a personality trait.

Having children isn& #39;t a personality trait.

Both of these groups have hella disturbing features and y& #39;all need to examine that and learn how to actually center children. They& #39;re members of society, whether or not you like them.
