Not many of the men I know who are child-free, whether by choice or circumstance, are routinely asked why they haven’t had a baby. I’ve certainly not questioned any of them – not unless it’s come up organically in conversation and they’ve been genuinely eager to share.
As a 39-year-old woman who has yet to procreate, I wish I could say the same. Five years ago, it didn’t seem to bother anyone much. Cut to my late thirties, and I get quizzed on or lectured about it on a fairly regular basis.
