Look- just because he went through all that work and finally had an ottoman doesn't mean he can push those unrealistic expectations on the rest of us.

Really good article, imo. A quote I liked:

"When people see phenomena unfolding in plain view being denied…their reaction is not to turn away from the phenomena," as Anastasia Berg, author of What Are Children For?, noted in April.

What this might look like in the case of denialism about birth rates is not hard to imagine."

We need homegrown cheap labor to replace the immigrants we kicked out.

Same in Texas, wanting to reward married heteros with children. I respond by not buying anything extra, depriving the economy of my single person dollars.

You are already taxed on not having children because you cannot write them off if you don't have them.

And if you are infertile through no fault of your own? Surely they would be thoughtful enough to recognize that taxing you would make no sense, correct?
