For many commenters, the stock response to an article about youth crime/drinking/sex/etc runs along the lines of the stuff said in that ad ("feral" and "vermin" are used fairly frequently). Based on the reader demographics of these papers, I'm guessing that most of these people have nothing to do with the childfree movement and many probably have children themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743841912028246535.post-55744151781128353712008-12-16T02:12:00.000-04:002008-12-16T02:12:00.000-04:00If we were to use "kinderphobia," a lot of people ...If we were to use "kinderphobia," a lot of people would recognise that as the hatred or fear of children, although it squishes the German and the Greek together. <BR/><BR/>If you'll allow some Hellenophilia on this blog, may I also suggest "paediphobia"? While a bit more etymologically sound, most people would probably prefer the modern "ped-" to "paed-", and then confuse the resulting word with "fear of feet" or the like. Given that we also have paediatricians (and similar words), it may be confused with a shortened version of that, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743841912028246535.post-269323974053499412008-12-15T23:49:00.000-04:002008-12-15T23:49:00.000-04:00deBeauxO-is it that impossible for you to believe ...deBeauxO-is it that impossible for you to believe that some people just don't want children, don't like them? Does it require abuse? I mean, I fully claim the misanthrope label thrown around in the post-I tend not to like people in general. This doesn't mean I just get to randomly insult them, but why does everyone have to like children? why does everyone have to like anyone?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743841912028246535.post-81016146151970141252008-12-15T19:00:00.000-04:002008-12-15T19:00:00.000-04:00This is a half intuitive, half educated guess abou...This is a half intuitive, half educated guess about the source of toxic feelings that people harbour towards children.<BR/><BR/>As children, hate and resentment were directed towards them. They experienced various forms of emotional neglect.<BR/><BR/>Thus they grew into adults filled with irrational rage and hatred towards children.<BR/><BR/>There is a big difference between expressing a reasoned opinion about the effect that poor and inappropriate parenting can have upon children's behaviour, and defending one's right to spew vile invectives about them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743841912028246535.post-41810197389997374722008-12-15T18:18:00.000-04:002008-12-15T18:18:00.000-04:00People who talk about children this way generally ...People who talk about children this way generally refer to themselves as "childfree", and you can find a lot of child- and mother-bashing internet communities by searching on that term. (You would not believe the vitriol on the childfree communities on LiveJournal. Well, you probably would.)<BR/><BR/>Not everyone who uses the term "childfree" is a child-hater. The term started as a way for people who chose not to have children to refer to themselves, as "childless" carries a connotation of deficiency. I've seen sane CFers who are wishing for yet another term because so many people now associate "childfree" with the unhinged haters.Jen Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15247886185829008699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743841912028246535.post-24713356204573520622008-12-15T17:41:00.000-04:002008-12-15T17:41:00.000-04:00is it truly ageism if the same complaints are made...is it truly ageism if the same complaints are made about people of various ages?
