You are.

I didn't start this thread

You did.

You seem to have a problem with the idea that many people do not want children. You seem to think that YOU are looked down in society because you have children.

I can tell you that is patently untrue. Parents and those who are expecting children are considered the PINACLE of human-kind. Your biological reproductive functions aren't questioned like MINE are. Your mental stability isn't questioned like MINE are. Your abilities to handle stress and responsiblity aren't questioned like MINE are.

You're a parent. That's great.

Try walking in the shoes of NON-Parents. Not just those who are child-free by choice, but those who are child-free by biology. It's not pretty. And if you think that for some reason YOU are the whipping boy of progressive ideas, I can assure you that you are not, and you have no idea how much pain can be caused by others who find no greater joy than sticking their nose in my uterus and my husband's testicles to find out why why why why why we just don't become NORMAL and do the NORMAL thing that NORMAL people do and have children.
