      Parenting is usually an accident or a pressure trap from family/society/religion. Also a tad of biological drive overriding sense.

      That is a very soured view imo.

          without talking about financial pressures

          So you just wanna nitpick the answer without considering some people want kids without societal pressure but can’t because of financial pressure.

          Ok.

          People are more comfortable having condom conversations now. I don’t think it’s the biggest reason, but it does make a difference

              I don’t consider that an accident, lol. A condom breaking or not functioning normally is an accident. Not using one because you don’t want to discuss it is a choice.

          pretty much. capitalism is incompatible with human biology and the continued existence of the human race, and I didn’t even mention the environment yet

      It’s easy to say: “other people do things because of pressure, I do things because I want to.” But that kinda oversimplifies free will, power dynamics, and other similar concepts. Why is charity rewarding to you? Because someone gave you a pat on the back? Couldn’t we boil it all down to extrinsic motivators? Some people might not feel good “giving away” their time to charity. You don’t feel good having kids. It’s all perspective.

      I could see the career side for the fulfillment - I left a higher paying job for a lower paying one but work more hours because I’m genuinely more mentally challenged and I find that enjoyable.

      I have no desire to go into management however.
