That I could bring a life into this unstable world would have tethered me & as a woman I am tethered enough by culture & law. Religion & procreation shall not decide for me nor should it for you.

No surprise. Having kids not only adds more stress to your life, esp. during the younger years, along with being financially costly, hence adding more stress and less freedom to your life. I made the right choice to be childless, but in my very family-oriented local dating pool, esp. among the women in my local area, it makes me practically undateable (along with being non-religious and a non-drinker), even in my early 60s, when it (having had kids or not) really shouldn't matter. Until the last few years, I have also always been too poor as an adult to afford to support kids, so there's that too.
