"...when people say, "why don't you want kids?" i am annoyed at the question b/c i feel you should justify having kids, justify bring a life into this world, rather than the reverse. going along as you are without parenting IS truly the default, but our cultural pressure to all have kids makes it seem as if the default is parenthood. this makes poor CF people feel they have to explain why they have strayed from the standard path."
