Potential roll back on womens rights

I noticed a few days ago that reform are wanting to make childless women pay more tax because were not contributing to society in the right way, basically if we get to menopause and have no children we wrong and unnatural and should be made to pay. 

At no point does it mention infertility, let alone make infertility, there just seems to be a blanket assumption that women have no children through selfishness. 

Parents
  • There are so many people who are parents, but they shouldn't be actually. They abuse and neglect their own children.  And yet someone got an idea to punish people for not having children. It's interesting,  that in some people's minds having children is only a woman thing. Well, we can't impregnate ourselves out of nowhere, there must be a man involved. Best, if the man is involved not only in making the baby, but also in life. To not sound anti-men I want to emphasise,  that there are many good loving and supportive fathers and partners. 

    The problem with people not having / not wanting babies is highly complicated and very complex. The core issues are lack of stability,  poor financial situation,  pressure for constant education and development,  which often erases the plans of having babies. There are also various health issues, also mental health issues,  the infertility etc. And it's also hard to find a good partner (applies to both sexes) because our times are somehow crazy, many people tend to have unrealistic expectations from others, but not willing to put effort. Or treating others like objects.
