Thank you for answering. I want to relate to what you've said.
peer pressure, judgement, and discrimination from family, friends, and colleagues.
I asked you about personal experiences, where you suffered the loss of your job, exclusion of your family (or your social circle of friends), as a single causal effect of not having or wanting children. I rate your answer as a "no".
You provide me with some nasty stories from peoples lives, or things you find unfair but that was not what I was pointing at. As we know, conflicts, pressure and disagreements occur within relationships and all kinds of weird actions are done.
It may bother those a lot, who stand to their decision not having/wanting children but does it make you or them an outcast or being punished in that way that live is not possible for you/them? If someone gets fired from his/her job, it's not because someone is childless. No cases known to me where this was so, more likely people get in trouble for having a child.
It may inconvenient to argue but that's the case for a million other things where people disagree. Which I welcome as something valuable. It's good that there are people WITH and WITHOUT children. Conflicts between those groups can teach me something in trying to overcome them. I do not judge people not having children, it's none of my business.
I pointed towards the trend which clearly is in favor of less children. Just look at the statistics, how many children the people usually had on average two hundred or a hundred years ago, compared to now. Can you agree that you see a clear decrease in numbers?
It's like you're standing up in your answer for a cause that has long since arrived. People in modern societies are predominantly childless or have few children.
There are currently about 41.5 million private households in this country. Those living alone are reported to be the most common form, ahead of two-person households (13.8 million). ... Nationwide, the share of single-person households increased from 34 per cent to 42 per cent between 1991 and 2019.
There are currently 10.65 million children between the ages of 0 and 14 living in Germany (as of 2019). ... In a nationwide comparison, the state of Bremen achieved the highest value with an average of 1.6 children per woman. Berlin brought up the rear with an average of 1.41 children per woman.
We are a country with about 80 million inhabitants.
Children make up a total share of the population of less than ten percent. That speaks a clear language.
From an average of almost five children per woman until the turn of the century into the 1900s, the rate is steadily going down.
The trend speaks a language; people willingly and without being forced by law decide for less children. In which relation does it set the cases you mentioned here? If I would take up the effort and now compare the official cases of discrimination because of having children versus not having children court-wise, what would come out of it?
An important aspect in the rumour about humanity in and of itself, you seem to be on the safe side, don't you? Where there are warnings of global overpopulation (quite dominant, I would think), there is also a mega-trend against having children.
I agree, if at any point you are annoyed by some extreme people meddling in your affairs, I would wholeheartedly agree to show people who meddle in such private decisions their limits. It doesn't necessarily have to end in a fight or a split. It takes two to make a reasonable dialogue. Family members, friends or colleagues usually come to terms with whether or not someone has children, is, what I experience/d.
