Yeah, I don't get it, either.

It's true that some intentionally childfree people are... well... mean, I guess. The kind of people who make snide comments about how all children are hairless rats who should be subjected to postpartum abortions and how all mothers are good-for-nothing brainless sellouts who gave up personal development at 20, etc. etc. It's possible that this weird girl has run into too many of them, I suppose. But it's pretty clear to anyone who knows her that [livejournal.com profile] harleybitch is not that kind of childfree person; and it's also pretty clear that there are some seriously uncool people on the other side, the "if you don't have children, you're selfish and evil and not a Real Woman and you can go to hell RIGHT NOW" people. It's also possible that the weird girl was one of these. Or maybe she's just clueless; that's a popular option too.

I don't know. I don't see why people care so much about other people's choices. I definitely have my own opinions on certain things, but as long as another person's family decisions don't directly affect me, who am I to say what's best?
