No. Because it’s not normal/natural (if by normal you mean natural as in how nature intended) to not want kids. Every species reproduces and that IS normal.
I'm sure those women who don't want to have kids still feel the desire to reproduce, but.. they're not animals. They I have the ability to use reason and logic to evaluate the world around them before they I bring another life into this world. Your "Every species reproduces" theory is correct, but you haven't thought it through. Yes.. they can reproduce, but the choose not to.
@Bright_blue_eyes NATURE reproduces and it doesn’t “think” about the environment around them. The post asks whether it’s normal and the answer is no. You are, clearly, another one of them people who don’t want to reproduce and that’s fine, but it’s not normal. Sorry.
It's more normal in today's world, it's too much responsibility.
No, it is not normal.
Have you been drinking the Feminist Kool-Aid?
So you’re saying it’s not normal for women but completely normal for men?
@Ninjazzed
In biological terms, females have one purpose, which is to bear and raise children.
Their bodies and brains are purpose built for that role.
For a woman to go against her primary biological purpose and her hard wired instinct something has to have gone very badly wrong.
That thing is usually the mindfuck of Communist Feminism that is administered to our girls during their 'education'.
About the age of 30, most former campus Feminists realise that they were lied to, but by then it is too late to change the disastrous course of their lives.

You're taking advice from Jordan Peterson? That guy is a clown, and yes, it is perfectly normal to not want children!
@Silas_153 He’s just another one of those chauvinistic fucknuts who tries to justify his ridiculous sexist ideology with worse sexist ideology.
Women aren’t built to be baby machines just like men aren’t built to be expendable slaves. Not every women has this magical “maternal instinct” either so defying it wouldn’t really inconvenience her in any way.
Who taught you to think this way? Having children is not our purpose of life, and how dare you spread misinformation and propagate this shallow nonsense.
I’m not going to engage in some verbal death match with some deep-root conservative geezer.
I really don't know how to talk to these type of people about this but I kinda want to.
Confronting people like you about their backwards ideas is both entertaining but also infuriating to me because they never listen.
It's like they simply shut down their brain, why would I ever want to be associated with these trash mongers?
I relish in confrontations and I like to have my ideas challenged. It reminds me where I stand which feels good. But there are no arguments these people have on me.
Meanwhile they just call me names, assume that I am unhappy, bitter and lonely (we all have the media to thank for that. When was the last time happy, childless women were showcased as part of reality?), don't answer my questions and revert back to bible thumping or sexism, which is some form of brain disease if you ask me.
Is there a way to have a moderate discussion to convince people to stop wasting themselves on crotch demons while being completely toxic to their environment?
For the record, the same goes the other way around. Men shouldn't let women influence their own fabricated version of masculinity.
Toxic manipulators come in all shapes and sizes and nobody should listen to people who try to tell you how to be a "real" man/woman. That shit is only meant to gratify the person whoever is taking, in this case it would be you.
@Silas_153
Not from Jordan Petersen. 🤣
Petersen has a few good things to say, but overall he is a blue-pill simp who is clueless about how Feminists/Communists have re-engineered the legal system to destroy men and families.
As for sound parenting, look at how his daughter went off the rails.
A firm hand (applied to the arse) when Mikala was younger would probably have prevented what happened.
For a family, one kid is must-stuff. It will make your feeling more happy and your husband could love you more better. Just my personal opinion!
yes its a preference and some people are with or against it but its totally normal
Why do you westerners keep dogs instead of having children?
dogs don’t cry? Lmao I don’t know
If you go with this mindset, your population will disappear anyway, you don't do more than 2 anyway.
If the population disappears that’s okay. Im going to die some day
I meant as a society, but at this rate you will all perish, you must have children, the dog will not continue its lineage. Children are very important in Islam, but you put the child in the background, babies are angels and sinless in Islam.
relax. Babies are being born every second we speak. Right now we actually are overpopulated if you didn’t know which can actually worsen things & we can perish that way as well. (Lack of resources)
@butterflyhope Most of these babies will be lgbt anyway and many will not have children, very few will. For example, in Germany there will be more Turks than Germans because there is a population increase and a decrease in Germans and Germans will begin to be a minority in their own country.
@butterflyhope My advice to you is that having children is important for the continuation of your lineage.
I’ll pass. I have my nieces & nephews. & relax, straight people are going to always exist. LGBQT can also still have kids by the way.
@butterflyhope No, lgbt has started to spread rapidly, if you do not stop this abomination, your generations will perish. How will you reproduce without a male? There is too much homosexuality in Generation Z, I'm not saying there will never be hetero, straight people will be a minority at this rate.
Two women can have a baby by bone narrow, which doesn’t include a man. Amazing right? & trans people can still have kids if both still have their genitals they were born with. So your argument is sort of…dumb?
@butterflyhope Are you talking about a world with only girls?
Lol no. I’m just saying it’s possible for two girls to have a kid together.
@butterflyhope I know that, but how healthy can a family without a man be? Also, this bullshit is hurting the mission of men, why do we live, so kill us and live by yourself?
It’s not the 1950s, men’s missions aren’t to take care of women. Men can do whatever they want as the same goes for women. & it doesn’t matter if a household has just men or just women, it really depends on the person, not their gender
@butterflyhope A healthy family consists of Mom and Dad, not 2 Dads or 2 Moms.
that’s weird. I grew up in a household with a mom & dad & endured abuse & turned out gay. Doesn’t sound healthy to me
@butterflyhope Many Celebrities have already started raising their kids gender neutral, do you think this is normal?
your normal may be someone else’s abnormal. Those are those peoples kids, so I don’t care what they do.
@butterflyhope Could they have done this 20-30 years ago? Let me tell you, they couldn't, because homosexuality has become widespread lately, if he's straight, why force him to be asexual, can it be so ridiculous?
I don’t think anyone is “forcing” them but simply giving them the choice to go that path. Because 20-30 years ago you didn’t have a choice, you would be murdered for it. Which is outrageous by the way.
@butterflyhope The situation that will soon become a hetero minority demonstrates this. If that child is not gay or straight, why does he have the right to raise him genderless? This is no different from child abuse!
You are only 18 years old. Sometimes, baby fever doesn't strike until you are in your mid-20's.
Maybe you will change your mind, maybe you won't. You've got 15 years to work that one out.
What does it matter?
Don't feel stressed, complete your education and have a great career.
Some do, some don’t. Normal doesn’t matter. There are men who also don’t want children.
Normal, don't get them just because the others see it as normal. No is no. Yes is Yes. I am not a fan of kids, babies to toddler, past that is okay
Nothing is wrong about that. I also don't like kids and planning to get vasectomy. My only suggestion to you is that while you choose your partner be sure you're on the same page. Some people get crazy to have them and it sucks
I am happy to see that it is not rare for women to want childless from comments. Thank for the question
it's a really good way to ruin your life, ofcourse if you have more than enough financially that should be okay
If it it's not normal then I don't wanna be normal.
It can be. Some people do some people don't. You may not want kids now but will later. Or not. It's up to you.
There's no shortage of women who SWORE they'd NEVER have kids when they were 18 who go on to change their minds and have them later on. Just see how things play out. It's fine either way.
Not the majority but plenty of people don’t want children
Nope, that is abnormal, and anyone telling you otherwise is fucking lying.
Respect your parents , Why are you even drinking? You aren't even 21 it's illegal. Drinking is a sin. Your mother is right and you need to show respect.
I didn’t mention drinking? I think you commented on the wrong post
Sorry I pissed right now I am fight with someone right now.
It only pinch the purpose some people just aren't nurturing enough to have them and soon don't want to have them cuz the bird naked just a matter of opinion and you
We're 18... we're probably "young and stupid"
I didn’t think about having a kid until I met the right person
Most girls do not have baby fever at 18. Women have it when they hit their 30s.
Yes. Just enjoy sex without the need to change diapers. It's the best
No. It's a result of social engineering, population control, it goes against our every instinct.
Lol so whoever dislikes this believes it’s normal for a species to have no desire to reproduce XD
That doesn’t add up. Species that don’t reproduce die off. If you look at just white people, we are dying off because too many of our women think having kids is bad for some reason
Completely abnormal and is a reaction to media manipulation. Have kids or you’ll regret it when you can’t.
Your not the only one.. I am the same way!
It’s normal, not an issue really.
Of course it's normal. I don't want to have kids myself. But I guess it depends on a lot of things.
It is very tough to raise a kid as a mom. You can ask your mom as well.
Just marry a nice guy and have kids if you like but not as a single mom.
It's normal. I'm 45 and I don't want kids. Lol
Sorry 35!. Damn chubby fingers. Lol
Nothing wrong with it
Definitely, your life your choice
Completely normal. I think the same way 😊
One third of the human population never reproduce.
In my opinion its because that person irresponsible
who’s irresponsible?
The one who doesn't want kids
people who don’t want kids aren’t all “irresponsible” they simply just don’t want them. Becoming a parent is a huge responsibility. I think it’s “irresponsible” to make someone have a kid they don’t want just to fit society’s standards. Because in the end it’s unfair to the child & the parent.
That's correct they shouldn't have kids if they can't handle it.
Not true at all.. might be irresponsible to bring innocent children into this world @Shihab91
Why are they irresponsible? I didn't receive a memo that my, and everyone else's purpose for existing is to raise a child or children. Having children is not a job we applied for when we were born, or some trade-off we made in order to come into this world. Having children is a personal choice, a responsibility you choose to take on. You are only responsible (or not) after having the child, not before.
I respect your opinions my friends 🙂
@Aethereal The world is a horrible place if I got to choose I wouldn't have wanted to ne born. Why would I bring an innocent child into it if I dont want to be here? I was just stating responsibility can be seen in two different ways..
Many kids have been abandoned at no fault to their own.. they are stuck here too so honestly id rather adopt or foster give a child a better life.. it cause of people pressuring other people to have kids sooo many kids go without love.. I dont need to physically birth one to love one.. I love children once they can talk tell me what they want or feel.. I have done a lot of babysitting.. children all ages I never got ohh yay there's a baby like my little sister did.. my mom would make me hold one when her friends had babies.. so honestly I just wanted to shed some light on another view.. not saying people who have kids are irresponsible.. I am saying we as individuals should be responsible to choose what we want.. without any horrible remarks.. You want to have kids- great! You dont want to have kids- great! Why do people see things so black and white gotta be one way or another? Gray is beautiful!!
@PeacefulRainDrop My comment was aimed at the person suggesting that my (and other people's) desire to not have kids made us irresponsible people.
The world is a horrible place, I agree with you on that. This is one of my many reasons to not have children. Not only can you not protect them well enough from the world, it looks like you'll be even seen as a bad parent for trying. I would never forgive myself if I had a child who became a bad person because of their environment, the people around them, etc. despite how hard I tried to be a good parent. I know parents who are super irresponsible; to the point their 3-year old doesn't recognize their home as his (because they kept dropping him off at someone else's home). Honestly, based on what you said, I would argue that many people who don't want kids that are actually the ones who really understand the responsibility of having them. And that's why we're not as excited about it as the people who are only telling us to have them so they can enjoy the kid when he/she is in a good mood.
Also agree that grey is beautiful. I've never liked picking sides. There is value in both sides. And adoption is always an option if the world becomes less horrible.
Thats exactly right! I agree!
Kids, are a gift from God
No they're not.
You just don’t want kids now right?
I don’t want kids ever.
That’s not normal
how is that not normal? I have nieces & nephews I love endless but I personally don’t want any of my own.
Because the majority of people want kids at some point. So it’s not normal
I know a lot of people who don’t want kids. Not that abnormal.
If being selfish and not ever wanting to raise kids actually was normal then why even ask the question?
I think it’s more selfish to bring a child into the world a person didn’t even want only to resent that child for the rest of their lives & it being unfair to the child in the end. Not everyone has the sources & not everyone has the level of reasonability to raise children. It’s okay to be selfish sometimes if that means it will benefit someone else.
That’s your abnormal opinion. You are allowed to have it. Clearly your parents had a different opinion
Totally normal.
I don't want kids either
For transgenders, yes
I’m all for wanting kids
It's not bad, but I see that it's uncommon.
Of course. I want kids someday
I assume your first boyfriend was in high school
what does that have to do with anything?
Just making a guess, I envy people who got to date in their teens
Depends on the person. Some do, some don't
Yeah it’s fine
You're normal.
Yes, it's normal.
Thanks for like!
Yes. Absolutely
Very normal
who'd look after you when you get wrinkly
If you only have children expecting them to watch you once you get old, please don’t have children. & I don't know? Go to a old folks home
