The right’s obsession with childless women isn’t just about ideology: it’s essential to the capitalist machine | Nesrine Malik | The Guardian

I'm not usually a fan of The Guardian, but this piece strays sufficiently from their usual virulent anti-trans agenda as to make it worth sharing.

A woman without biological children is running for high political office, and so naturally that quality will at some point be used against her. Kamala Harris has, in the short period since she emerged as the Democratic candidate for US president, been scrutinised over her lack of children.

Usha Vance took a stab at defending JD Vance’s “childless cat ladies” remark on Monday, saying in an interview that her husband—who has also said people without kids are more likely to be mentally unstable sociopaths—would never want to hurt people trying to have kids. The problem’s just the heathens who actively choose not to have them, you see!
