    Might not be selfless as such, and I’m not in any position to speak for women in general, but when that biological drive kicks in, it can do so pretty damn hard.

    That’s still satisfying your own need, but perhaps more subconsciously so than people having children without thought or care.

    Me and my wife agreed on not having children when we were young, but we’ve never regretted the son we got after a pretty radical twist in our mid 20’s. I could go on, but it’s complicated.

    In today’s world, if I were young again, I’d never even give it serious thought, though. Different times, although it doesn’t feel that long ago.
