Do you think women who are "childfree" by choice are selfish?

Do you think they hate kids? or is it selfish? ...a way to keep the high paying job or the perfect body image? What are your thoughts on women who choose not to have children?

I don't think it is selfish at all. I think it is selfish to have kids and then put a career first though.

Personally I think it would be selfish for a women to have kids because that is what is expected of her.  Not all women want children and that is their choice.

No...I think they just don't want kids.  Everybody doesn't.

Not everyone is cut out to be a mother...and kudos to those who know who they are.

Sometimes I get a little irate at the ones who want to have a C section just because they dont want to screw up their vajayjays tho.

Just because you're a woman, doesn't mean you HAVE to have children.  that's ridiculous to even ask.

I think everyone has a right to whether they want kids or not.

I think it's their choice. Not everyone wants kids. Nothing wrong with that.

I definitely think it's the whole body image/conceitedness/selfishness. One of my aunts never wanted/had kids. I can't see my SIL having kids. She's too into herself. Very immature. Everything is all about her, and she's only 8 months my junior.

I'm not sure that the OP was suggeting that they're selfish BECAUSE they aren't having kids. I think it's because they're just selfish people in and of itself. They don't want to be concerned about anyone else, or ruin their perfect bodies, etc. That's the way I took it. IDK...
