“It is within all of us to take the first step here, to decide actively that each person’s life choices are entirely their own, and that if a woman says she doesn’t ever want children, or a man decides he doesn’t want to get married, that is perfectly fine. Because such personal changes and commitments do not belong to society in any way, they are not something that people should feel obligated to buy into to please an unidentifiable mass of “others” who expect to see it done. The judgments we make on everyone’s choices — even the choice to get married young, if that’s what the couple wants — are so unhealthy, and yet we’re all so guilty of them.”
