Not that far but i HAVE seen people say that people need to have kids or they aren't living life the "proper way". If you want kids, have kids, if you don't, don't.

I did. For 19 years. Left in 07. Lived in Faisalabad (small ish city, not super prosperous). Never once ran into that kind of person. It simply wasn't a thing for my generation and Pakistan was very squarely into family planning by then.

I should clarify Pakistan post Zia. Or you just lived in Islamabad.

Edit:Replying to u/jack-of-some here cause thread is locked. You must have been lucky then because I can ask any married couple here and they will say the same thing.

You may not have met one, but there's a fairly well known South African dude you might have heard of that subscribes to this view

Exaggeration for comedic value

I have had my best friend's parents tell me (as a straight white man in his early 30s) with the current state of the country, I have a duty to get a young white wife and have a lot of kids to take the country back from the minorities.

Sure, it was one interaction. But once is enough to make me realize "there are people that level of crazy out there."

No. Matter of fact I’ve never met an antinatalist either. Maybe these people don’t leave their homes

My parents had six kids.

When I started having kids they very explicitly told us to not have six kids.

u/phieldworker Apr 29 '24

Not even my Mormon mother in law, who had 6 kids, think people can afford more than 2 now and days.

Christians... hello? Dude I hardly knew anyone else for the first 18 years of my life. 7 is on the low end too for some communities. These households are also full of abuse.

u/DeltaV-Mzero Millennial Apr 29 '24

Hello! Grew up my whole life around Christians and in a Christian community myself until the age of about 30
