Why are there more women than men who don't want kids?

Question

Finchie40 · Accepted Answer

Probably because some women do not want to be stuck raising a child on her own , especially if her partner decides to bail on her if their relationship turns to dirt , Or she doesn’t want the responsibilities of raising a child period. Raising kids’ is a lot of work and responsibility that not everyone is capable of doing or wanting to do especially in todays ‘ world with everything being so expensive. You can also blame feminism for the reason as well. Me personally made 3 kids’ with my ex and after our 3 rd child I got a vasectomy , thinking I was going to spend the rest of my life with my wife. , our marriage was great for a long time until social media and feminism was really in the picture , when she got addicted to social media she started acting like she deserves better than what she had right in front of her , thinking Grass is greener on the other side , so she did a complete 360 on me and ruined our marriage and family. She started comparing our lives to other peoples’ lives and acted like I didn’t do enough , when all I did was work and I made a good salary , but it wasn’t enough for her , she was no longer satisfied with anything we had , when I told her to get a job , she looked at me like I was crazy , she has a horrible spending habit and thinks everything is on sale so she had to buy it , she had no problem spending money that she didn’t earn whatsoever , when money got tight she would blame me for not making enough , acting like I was supposed to work 3 jobs to support her lazy ass. i eventually separated from her ass , when I entered back into the dating world after a long time , I felt like I would have a hard time finding a girl because I knew I couldn’t give her babies , but to my surprise most girls’ I met , didn’t want babies , so it was kind of a win win for me lol but what I didn’t realize was the girls’ I was having sex with lied about being single when really they were married. So we live in such a beautiful world. I am glad I can’t make more kids’ to be honest with you , I wouldn’t want to bro g a new child into this fucked up world we live in period

I doubt that. We always see mom wants a second kid... despite all the "proposed answers " here, refuting all those "causes" but dad the men argued not want another kid.

The style of the question, along with the anon asker! Fits the pattern of the woke attack trying to CONVINCE English speakers to STOP having kids! so non-democracy can rule the world. "Why" plus "the goal" as if a fact.

And if successful people will provide reasons... as they did... here, despite those reasons

never prevented women having kids until now!

It's a combination of many reasons, mostly circumstantial and situational but also individualism. Pregnancy, childbirth and having children is a major responsibility for parents but particularly for women.
It's a risk in a sense as men don't have to deal with the whole pregnancy process and can bail any time they want with little to no consequence unless the mother tracks him down for child benefit. Even then, that money is not gonna substitute raising a child properly. Raising a child alone is not the ideal.

Then there is the cost and resources you'll need to raise a child - this is dependent on where you are though. I can barely afford rent even with a well-above-average grad salary. I'm too young to have a child right now but if I did, he or she would be at least partially struggling with me because of my circumstances.

Socially, women have more freedom to choose what they want to do with their lives and many choose to skip the children part entirely. I guess that's where the individualism comes in - most societies in developed countries have the privilege to base living around the self and not curate it around starting a family and taking care of other people their entire lives. Just like how care homes are exploding with old people because kids don't want to take care of their parents in their later years, younger people don't want to subtistute a life revolving around them for a life revolving around the world children or more awfully "ungrateful little shits" who are a load of trouble and bound to run amok in this lovely world...

With all that said, I love kids and I'd love to have them some day but it makes sense why people don't.

While attempting to answer your question something interesting came to my mind. The same way humans evolve and adapt maybe that’s a way women are evolving and adapting, well let’s think about it financially having a child is more expensive, we have more resources to prevent having a child (preconception specifically), societal norms are changing, then women had the time to stay at home and truly raise their child and fun fact men did too until war happened and men were sent to war women were stuck alone at home and that’s when gender roles truly set in— anyways times have changed and women aren’t expected to solely be wives and mothers, also education is more of a priority so I guess what I started to wonder is if women’s changing attitudes towards becoming mothers could be a form of evolution and adaptation? Who knows 🤷🏾‍♀️

You know what having kids does to a woman’s body? And the permanent strain on her life?

Guys want to leave a legacy and can sometimes be clueless about the strain and toll having kids actually requires bc they just leave it all up to the woman to tend to as “her job.”

They way the world is heading. It's hard enough to get a guy to commit to a relationship let alone a child... and I think they are make the right choice.. I'm not sure where the US IS headed but I don't think it's good

Are you sure that's the case? I'm not saying that I have statistics in front of me or anything. I've just never noticed this to be the case. Are you sure it is?

Avicenna · Answer

Lots of men don’t either. I’m not sure there is a statistically significant difference. But if there is, I think it’s because having kids is viewed by a larger number of women as damaging to their career.

my next kid is going to come partially from an egg donor and be born via surrogate.

Miristheiss · Answer

Feminism.

The birth control pill. Women are more self absorbed, materialistic and shallow than ever in history. Feminism tells them career, travel, endless sex out of marriage is the most important thing in life. Your endless happiness and self pleasure are all there is to life.

Before they kind of just had kids regardless because there was no pill. Even if a woman was hesitant about kids, the kids came anyway and they usually were glad they had kids after the fact.

Survival was more of the goal instead of hedonism and endless pleasure. People didn't use to live in these rich societies with all of our needs met and endless free time and excess money to spend on fun. Survival was hard to do throughout history.

We are so pampered now we can't even comprehend.

MzAsh · Answer

Because women actually know the cost of motherhood, and more of them are deciding it’s not worth blowing up their lives for it.

Men don’t face the same risks or sacrifices, so they’re less likely to think twice.

Dargil · Answer

Modern, primarily educated, primarily white women have been brainwashed to believe that a career is more important than children and family. This is the consequence of feminist ideology. Fortunately, the solution is for men too Recruit Foreign born women From the Far East or Latin America. Maybe that is the objective of feminism. Diversity Equity and Inclusion. I have that in my home. My wife is Oriental. My home demographics are diverse. She is getting a better outcome than my ex wife's, and I include her in everything. And maybe the intent of the feminist movement is the Browning of America and I am doing that.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

Probably because we go through the pregnancy and have to push the little bastards out then they guy could cheat or just leave if he feels like it then we are stuck raising the children alone and then have guys calling us hoes for being single mothers.. Doesn't really sound like a good time to me lol.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

Kids take a greater physical toll on women than they do men.

Having kids also tends to mean the death of women's careers and a complete change of social life and whatnot. It's just a huge lifestyle shift that men simply don't have to make.

I can't blame women for being nervous about going through that. Especially not in a society that worships women for youthful beauty and financial productivity.

4ngelic · Answer

because women are the ones who have to be pregnant and raise the kid mainly. it also impacts their career. men dont have to go through pregnancy, aren't impacted career wise and dont take care of the kids as much at all. so there's less drawbacks for them

Anonymous · Answer

There are a lot of men who don’t want kids. Most self-identified alpha and sigma males don’t want them till they’re at least thirty. They want to save their twenties for partying and chasing girls. Of course, a lot of them are not terribly stable partners. But they are men, and they don’t want kids, at least not young.

Cost, lifelong investment. Last time i went on a real date she was eating up 150 dollar plates on my dime. Women now a days are to costly then to raise a family? wow.. Only rich men can afford familys and dating. Females are seen as gold diggers that want a white picket dream most men can't afford.

Women have driven men away from commitment, plain and simple. Women do not need men except to fulfill some biological impulse. They can can hire a man for everything else. As a result men (still driven by his own base desires) has evolved a new role for himself.

David318578 · Answer

Not sure if that's true, but if it is then I would suspect that feminists and cultural changes are pushing women to be "girl bosses" and finding satisfaction in the corporate world rather then being a mother.

LiamJHayden · Answer

If that is true, I would suppose a lot of it has to do with the fact that she does all the work in childbirth and is the one whose body takes the hit. A lot of guys do not appreciate just what she goes through.
