@KTSpratt@megevhan@AntiCommieBecca this study is literally about testing the hair clippings of 6 year olds for stress hormones. it has absolutely nothing to do with womens reproduction, the choice to remain childfree, or reproductive regret.

“We found no evidence that older child-free adults experience any more life regret than older parents. In fact, older parents were slightly more likely to want to change something about their life.”

voluntarily childfree women showed significantly higher levels of overall psychological well-being, greater environmental mastery, and higher autonomy than parents. they were overwhelmingly the least likely group to express child-related regret

MSU studied older childfree adults and found no evidence that they experience more life regret than parents

voluntarily childfree women ranked child-related regrets 8th out of 10 categories, involuntarily childfree women ranked it 5th, and actual mothers ranked parenting/child regrets as their 3rd most important concern
@KTSpratt@megevhan@AntiCommieBecca how do you know this isn’t more unreliable polling data where “people say what they think they are supposed to say?” i’m asking for quantitative data. you can just admit it doesn’t exist. it’s okay to be wrong sometimes.
