I'm a child-free (CF) woman and it's a vibe. I have received annoying ass remarks and been pressured to change my mind, but I know what I want.

I was trying to find places online where other CF people gather. Came across the childfree subreddit buuuut I noped out after noticing a pattern of classism and misogyny. By that, I mean conservative talking points about how the poor shouldn't reproduce (eugenics is a slippery slope fr). And I haven't even touched on the shaming women for how they look after having children, shaming breastfeeding, being far too weird about children existing, etc. Obviously not down with any of that. I just want to shoot the shit with more CF people, especially women, because most people in my life are either on the fence, have children, or plan to have children. They're all cool people, but for good reason their priorities are different from mine.

Has any other CF woman on here encountered this? Are there any CF spaces online that don't put down women or children? And some more lighthearted questions: how's being CF treating you? Do you have a partner on the same page as you and/or CF friends who you can vibe with?
