Both, just to be sure I was clear...RT @ktsetsi: (Is this to me, or to clarify for others? I knew it was quoting him.)
Rad act of hope is quoting him ;) RT @ktsetsi: A “radical act of hope.” 😂 Ok.
The writer is a 'philosopher' who indeed tries to justify reproduction as a radical act of hope through the work of other philosophers who wrote on hope. twitter.com/ktsetsi/status…

Hi laura,
Thank you for the video.
I’ve been told that you may not want to have kids because your are selfish. Some people have also said oh you will have kids one day sooner or later. Its very irritating to be spoken to this way. I know my mind.
This is great! I was actually really surprised by number one, I was expecting it to be the “hate kids” or “selfish” stereotype. But it’s true that we are being consistently underminded by people who think we are going to change our minds, or we’re too young to make this decision…
I think this list just summarizes so accurately the things I hear about childfree on a daily basis.
Thanks Anat! Yes, #1 was a bit surprising and as I mention, I find it irritating! It is interesting to collect responses, report them back and have it confirmed by others~
