      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.

      I don’t know what all this academic gobbledygook means. But I’m NOT a parent, and when I see what all of the parents go through, I feel privileged.

      The word "privilege" isn't really for things you get to decide whether or not to do

      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

      It's about the position. It's a privileged position, giving you more power and responsibility, regardless how you got there. The same goes for non parents: they have more freedom and should also use it more fruitfully.

      I very strongly disagree that you choosing to have a kid and me choosing not to gives me any specific obligation to you

      Here's a framing I greatly prefer ADULTS are obviously and undeniably privileged relative to CHILDREN Because CHILDREN are vulnerable and dependent and had no choice in being so, we are all on the hook for supporting and protecting CHILDREN, with tax dollars at a bare minimum

      But centering the PARENTS and making this about how I personally have to support PARENTS is looking at this all the wrong ways It's a framing that directly and inevitably leads to enabling bad parents

          It's like if we looked at sickness and disability and said "Non-doctors are privileged relative to doctors" like that was the important thing and not "The well and the abled are privileged relative to the disabled and sick"

          It may be that ableism among the currently healthy who don't appreciate doctors means doctors don't get paid enough and we should pay them more That's one possibility It may ALSO mean doctors have too much power over patients and some doctors need to get fired
