  If I was a man, I&apos;d also like to have children but since I am not and I am the one who has to give birth, be pregnant, risk my health, probably my career, I don&apos;t.<br>It&apos;s actually not that complicated.<br><br>Not even talking about money, housework and child care here.

  Lolll of course the men in their society want kids. Its so easy to &quot;love&quot; your kids and get married when your wife does all the work. I dont blame the women for not wanting kids if all the burden is put on them.

  Mothers don‘t get the respect they deserve. Every country whines how they need more children but in reality children and mothers are not treated well. Children should only be seen and never heard. If they act out it‘s the mothers fault and besides being a mother is not even seen as a job. You don‘t get enough financial help so why would young people want children?

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qafHvFPf2Y&amp;t=268">4:28</a> she said it all. If the government wants them to have kids, they have to change the environment and policies and norms for them to WANT to have kids.

  Raised by Korean parents, I was taught that I was a failure as a human because I was not the best at anything so I have no desire to bring a person into the cruel world that I was brought up in.

  My parents told me ‘you can enjoy your life when you became an adult, so stop playing and study.’<br>That’s why I’m enjoying my life instead of having a child or getting married.😂😂

  if i could be a father, heck, i&apos;d want five kids! but as a mother, being expected to give up everything i&apos;ve worked for and become a 주부 housewife or worse, having to care for the kids as a default parent AND working 딩크, i could never imagine that. The gender divide in korea is insane and it&apos;s growing worse with men not wanting to admit that the current system is disadvantageous towards women at best and oppressive at worst. Women are the future, they control the birthrate when human rights are ensured. It&apos;d do a lot of societies good to treat them better, and it&apos;s have good effects for everyone, regardless of gender.

  After living in a few different countries I noticed that men and women act the same: men say they want kids one day and it&apos;s a really vague idea with no proper plan of action while women think practically on how to get there and how that will affect them financially and mentally and start preparing earlier. In my opinion this is why a lot of women are set on not having kids, because they thought through it properly for a while. Men just surf life saying they want to have kids (1, 2, 3, 4....) and hope that women will deal with the hard work and logistics.

  Men don&apos;t do their share of parenting and household work and wonder why women turn away?
