@Il00lIlI "It's just zero benefits, only negatives and doom for women": You are sadly right. Children are by far the number one reason of poverty for elderly women. When they have children, they are not very active in the workforce and therefore do not only miss out on their monthly wages, but also retirement benefits and an otherwise higher pension. Having to raise children (by themselves) is also a big reason for the gender pay gap.

I understand your point, but boomer and gen x parents are *still in the workforce*. They simply cannot afford to retire, even when they really want to for valid reasons. These are some of the ramifications of c@p!tälism, which is a system that we need to overcome in this century.

@CordeliaWagner1999 "You can buy healthy eggs and semen at a fertility clinic.": So that's the vision you have of the future? No kids of our own (if we want(ed) kids), just lab babies from someone else? Are you aware that this is just a modern way of eugenics and it is no better than what happened before and during world war 2?
