Surveys show that the number of so-called “childless-by-choice” Americans is on the rise. And even those crazy people who do want kids are making fewer of them.
The "red family system" preaches early marriage and traditional gender roles -- a model no longer suited to our post-industrial economy. No wonder "red families" are falling apart.
Wanting kids isn't just the social norm, it's said to be a biological imperative, the only supposed "duh" of evolution. But yet, some of us choose not to -- and for good reason.
