It’s one thing to say it’s difficult to parent. It’s very hard to be a parent. It is another entirely to say that non-parents are “privileged”. Using privileged is a total and inaccurate misappropriation of identity politics discourse to weaponize the unpaid work of parenting.

But you can't just decide you'll be a parent from now on (and vice versa). Similarly, the privileged position of Bill Gates or a Harvard professor or a US Senator are to some extent results of their choices yet they are still privileges.

The part that is meaningfully the result of choice is not privilege, and the part of being wealthy that I believe actually is meaningfully the result of choice is very small
