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.

This white person is positioning herself in an oppressed position through false equivalencies. Clearly doesn't understand race politics.

1/2 Great point! Prof Jill Milroy talks about how White researchers use knowledge of Indigenous people to get their PhDs & become "experts"
