Ever since childhood I disliked the idea of getting married and having children and I have never ever changed my mind. A child isn't influenced by any ideology yet, so I would say that my reluctance to follow the traditional path is more motivated by intuition rather than any kind of moral belief or personal doctrine. I do agree with the antinatalist argument, mainly what Benatar has outlined in his book, and sympathize with the atomized lifestyle of the young generation. Yet to me, staying single and not breeding is just a simple personal preference, but not a conscious decision followed from lines of reasoning.
I am just getting tired of people assuming that all of my preferences are based on some popular ideology. This also applies when I have to explain to people that I don't eat meat simply because I don't like meat. I couldn't care less about my already shitty health or saving the dying planet and no ma'am I am not religious.
