      Okay but dude the word "privilege" is inappropriate to apply to a freely chosen option I'm "privileged" compared to someone who involuntarily became a parent by getting pregnant at 16 and having their right to an abortion denied I'm not "privileged" relative to you

      Unless you genuinely think the parent/childfree divide is analogous to something like sexual orientation, where you are wired as a person so you can only be happy if you have kids and other people as wired so they can only be happy if they don't

      In which case, sure, yes, you have a point - I get a certain level of happiness "for free" that you only get through years of grueling labor and $250k at least in monetary costs etc etc

      But if you really believe that's a fundamental divide then we've got bigger problems Because even today the kind of person I am gets stigmatized a LOT more by society than the kind you are, and this is amplified 100x for women

      I haven't nailed down exactly how I feel about this but I currently think it's more helpful to treat it as a choice than an innate orientation A lot of childfree people could've had kids and chose not to You could've not had kids but chose to

      IMO the stigma isn't really the issue; adopting a child is expensive and difficult and absent greatly increased reproductive coercion & child trafficking (à la Baby Scoop Era), will continue to be so But I take your broader point and telling someone who desperately wants kids

      Adopting an older child through foster care isn't so much *expensive* through upfront costs -- the state has tried as hard as it can to mitigate this through subsidy -- but *fundamentally* difficult in ways that people who say "Why not just adopt?" don't appreciate

          Oh, sure. But as you say, it's a very different experience from raising a child from birth, and I think people who suggest adoption as an alternative to having and raising bio kids are usually picturing the experience of adopting a baby

          and there is this incredibly, infuriatingly persistent myth that adopting a baby should be easy and straightforward, and would be easy and straightforward if not for "barriers"
