You want to argue that choosing not to have children is selfish? That's precisely the trap society lays for women—defining our entire worth through reproduction. One must liberate oneself from this tyranny of biological destiny. To refuse motherhood is not selfishness; it is an act of radical freedom. A woman who chooses her own intellectual life, her own projects, her own becoming, she refuses to disappear into the servitude of domesticity. The truly selfish act is breeding children you don't genuinely want, burdening them with your resentment. Parenthood demands total commitment. If you lack it, having children anyway? That's the real selfishness. So tell me, what obligation do we owe the world that demands we sacrifice our own existence?
