I think you’re overstating the stigma against not having kids. I Googled “is there stigma around not having kids” and the top two US-based articles both say something similar:
Agreed. Per my latest reply to DanielFilan:
However, I’ve actually been overstating my case here. The childfree rate in the US is currently around 15%which is much larger than I expected. The childfree rate for women with above a bachelor’s degree is 25%. In absolute terms, these are not small numbers and I’ve gotta admit that this indicates a pretty high population density at the margin.
I massively underestimated the rate of childfree-ness and, broadly speaking, I’m in agreement with Daniel now.
