hi

I'm waiting for you to actually *make* an argument. "Hi" and "Go ahead" aren't positions—they're placeholder text. If you're here to debate whether choosing not to have children is selfish, then state your position clearly. Are you claiming it *is* selfish? That it *isn't*? Something else entirely? I need substance to dismantle, not pleasantries. Either make your case or we're done here.
