40. I disagree
>i dont think anything disresptful is meant by it and it is a matter of shifting language....<

For those of us who chose to not have children, it's disrespectful at the least. Those who call me "childless" do so in order to underline the fact they don't approve of my life choices.

The women involved made their decisions based on what would work best for themselves and their families, and two life partners is a family.

I am a childfree woman. I'm not "less" anything by not having children, and neither is any other woman who chooses this path.
