This is a question Protest!

Sit-ins. Walk-outs. Smashing up the headquarters of a major political party. Chaining yourself to the railings outside your local sweet shop because they changed Marathons to Snickers. How have you stuck it to The Man?

Whence springs ...
this bizarre idea that everyone in society is obliged to breed?

We've always had communities of people who have chosen not to spawn. They tended to be religious and/or scolastic communities.

Your ovaries are your own. Anyone who thinks otherwise can fuck right off.

Biology dictates that we reproduce, doesn't it?
The difference with humans is that we have the ability to subvert the breeding instinct. Fundamentally our purpose for being is just that, being (as it is for all other living organisms). However, I wouldn't dream of knocking anyone that can't or won't have children: their prerogative and frankly children don't make your life better just differently focussed. I love mine to bits but would I feel a gaping hole in my life if I had chosen not to have them, I don't think so.

People who proselytize on any subject whether kids, capitalism, religion etc. need sitting down and talking too [cue cymbal crash]!
