Because parents comment on our "selfish" child free life all fucking day long, I guess
Do we? Are these parents in the room with us now?
Yes
There's not even that many comments, something tells me you didn't even check first.
The one you linked doesn't call anyone selfish.
Doesn't say it outright, no, but it says it's vitally important that we reproduce for the good of the species and the economy. What do you call someone that refuses to do something that's so important for everyone?
As a society as a whole, yes currently things are set up that way, pretending otherwise is straight up denial. Equally some folk don't want or can't have kids, that's also fine. Both these things can be true without anyone accusing anyone of being selfish.
