As soon as I read that line, I knew this researcher was a White woman. Stigma of being childfree is NOT comparable to racism.

Racism is systematic inequity based on race, an imposed category. Being childfree is a choice & does not impact life chances since birth.

I agree it's not at all comparable to racism, but FWIW, being childless isn't a choice for everyone. Can stem from medical issues etc

1/ I've specifically talked about childfree by choice here because that is the context of the study I'm discussing, which I've linked to.

2/ Regardless of whether or not it's a choice it is NOT like racism. So your point is moot. This comment is derailment. Read the thread.

So why did you feel a need to interject on a thread about racism? Thread is a discussion of how White people don't recognise Whiteness.

I read it as a good thread comparing being a POC and being childless, and was just commenting on the childless part.
