In the 2020s young adults would always choose to live a child-free lifestyle even other countries.
[edit]Young men and young women never desired to have children because the reason that is it wasn’t worth it Useless, pointless, nuisance, complications, taking to school, Young adults are more comfortable in vulgar language. Any occupation, any profession, and any career would not have a child. And a child suffers tantrums. And they would say “Your starting to get on my nerves with that newborn baby from that tantrum.” @Nerd271 @Fephisto Testifyclaw (talk) 15:31, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
Neutrality
[edit]This article partly seems to have been written by childfree activists, taking a stance on their worldview, proclaiming their "suffering in discrimination", while implying that their opinion would be absolutely "right". It also seems to enumerate the badness of parenthood and how the expansion of "childfree areas" would be beneficial. 2A0A:A541:119E:0:AC72:FC98:2928:85CD (talk) 00:20, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- Please provide diffs to support these claims of NPOV. Netherzone (talk) 01:52, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- It's true, I edited the article a while ago in order to update the outdated, highly questionable sources about childfree (and single) women being the happiest out of all as per the opinion of a single expert. The sources I used were obviously reliable (pew research, the atlantic, psychologytoday etc etc). The Nerd guy just kept removing it based on false pretenses and then eventually said that the present sources are "fine enough" as it is. I just gave up because I don't really care that much about it. Skellyret (talk) 18:40, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Skellyret, It seems that among other things, those edits were based on data from the Institute of Family Studies, with which you have a conflict of interest, thus introducing bias. @Nerd271: was correct in making their edits. It also seems that the original IP poster never got back with diffs of that they claim was written by "childfree activists". Netherzone (talk) 19:03, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hey I only came here because a chat with fephiso (That's his name, i think) got archived lol. He introduced a compromise where we redacted the paragraph so that it supports neither position, whilst adding the new research to the America section.
- Also just because I wanted to make an article about IFS, that doesn't really mean there is bias. Furthermore, I've cited a multitude of reliable secondary sources which cite directly from IFS, and I've also cited pewresearch for the claim that single, childless women are happiest.
