“The Matrix can feel like a pretty hopeless place. I get that. Nobody in his or her right mind (a tiny minority, admittedly) wants to be caught in an endless digital labyrinth like a techno lab rat. My position is that, on at least a subliminal level, even many of the most benighted sheeple (the really stubborn ones I think of as the ‘consciously clueless’) secretly suspect that they’re corralled in a system designed to control them, to keep them in check. But I’m here to tell you it doesn’t have to be this way. We have the power to change our circumstances individually and maybe, just maybe, collectively.”

“Embracing this identity means something powerful: instead of trying to squeeze yourself into a mold that was never meant for you, you get to understand your actual strengths, honor your real needs, and live as your authentic self.”

“There are very few choices in the life of Childfree people that can’t be undone or changed. Take your best shot at a plan that is yours, and you will learn more about yourself and what you truly enjoy as you execute that plan.”

“But something happened to you when you'd had lots of relationships, meaning lots of breakups as well. At first, it hurt terribly, and you thought you'd never be able to get over it.

And she was happy and appreciative, but she didn't mean that the big things weren't important either. It didn't mean that the big things outside world weren't worth going after. Excitement, drive, success--these were the things that fueled a woman too. They gave her gravitas--weight in the world. How could a woman really be content unless she knew that she'd lived up to her true potential, or at least given her best shot?”

“Wherever women have the vote, wherever girls stay in school for longer, wherever women are in charge of their own lives and not dictated to by men, wherever they have access to good healthcare and contraption, wherever they are free to take any job and their aspirations for life are raised, the birth rate falls. The reason for this is straightforward - empowerment brings freedom of choice and when life offers more options for women, their choice is often to have fewer children.”
