Speaking as someone that had to go through IVF, that's a bit like celebrating cancer for reducing the population. Infertility is devastating for you and your relationship when you want to have children.

Don't expect empathy from someone who has found the Rightful Cause(TM).

You have my sympathies for going through a this procedure even though I never had to do that.

Infertility would be "none", and I didn't say that, I said "fewer".

But I'm sorry you've put such an important emphasis on having kids in your relationship. The fact that you live in a society where that's reasonable is immensely sad, to me.

You should feel whole without children, and the fact that you don't is the real tragedy, IMO.

Are you always this misanthropic and belittling?

I'm neither of those things now, nor am I always anything.

Are you always this antagonistic and reductive?

When someone infantilizes or shames people for their suffering, yes.

Considering I did neither of those things, your behavior remains unexplained...
