Tom James, the author of "Your Children Are Boring: or How Modern Parents Ruin Everything", agreed to come as a guest to our show to talk about his book. We talked about how all parents think their kid is special, about losing your identity when you have a baby and about what we found out later is referred to as "sharenting" (the overuse of social media by parents to share content based on their children, such as baby pictures or details of their children's activities), among other things.   The Childfree Girls podcast (2019-2022) is now archived on the Childfree Media podcast!

Dann is the first, but hopefully not the last, childfree man we are featuring in an episode of our web series. He is Canadian, eats a plant-based diet and has a fluffy cat. As if he wasn't cool enough yet, Dann is also the author of "Planned UNParenthood", the first book about the childfree choice and lifestyle written from a male perspective. We had so many questions for Dann, including how societal pressure feels for CF men, how did he approach the subject with his wife when they started dating, and, of course, about the book. We also left a couple of questions for YOU at the end of the episode. Comment below or send an email, we want to read your answers!

Raise your hands, we're doing a headcount... We've all been there. People say we're selfish because we don't want to have children.

Jody Day inspired us to talk about this subject after we read a quote from her presentation at FertilityFest 2018: "Pronatalist privilege shares its systemic structure with all other forms of isms, including sexism and racism. It's a way of seeing the world from a privileged vantage point, elevated above others, and nearly always conferred without effort." It's not an easy conversation, it's certainly not black and white, so it's still food for thought. Speaking of, what are YOUR thoughts about this subject?
