Well, Allen, there is a point in arguing, because childless and childfree, as I explained earlier, are distinctly different experiences. (There. NOW there's no need for arguing.)

I see where our major difference lies, though. You live in Brave New World, where humans are predisposed from genetically-manipulated birth to be well suited for, and content with, specific roles. Therefore, you can't understand that people might not want to fulfill the roles you believe they should embrace (all women: the same job of wife, mother; all men: any assortment of jobs, whatever job makes them happy, but they must (?) impregnate women and become fathers and financially support the wife and children).

The truth, though, is that every person is different, and it's unrealistic to expect every single woman to want to do the exact same thing with her life. It's also unrealistic to expect all men to want to be providers (the patriarchy: it doesn't just limit women!). If you can accept the "chaos" of people having different goals and different ideas of happiness, you'll have a much easier time in the world as it moves farther away from the manufactured happiness of the white picket fence family.

As to "my body, my choice," absolutely correct. Whose choice should it be? The man's?
