in the last week I read a toot about how you shouldn't call people with kids "breeders". In my mother language, (german)there is no equivalent to that word.. correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm childfree by choice, and being nominally heterosexual/being read as heterosexual, I had my fair share of dealing with expectations that having children is something that "all people do (except for queers and freaks)". Or what "every woman wants".

for me, the term "breeders" applies to people who live by these rules and norms without questioning them _and_ thoughtlessly impose them on other people, regardless if they have kids or not.
