Child-Free
On a daily, personal basis, child-frees have to put up with a total misunderstanding of their choice on the part of anxious would-be grandparents, siblings, child-laden friends and even complete strangers. They have to put up with the barrage of media hype that says that to do anything but settle down and clone yourself as many times as possible marks you as abnormal. They deal with a society that falsely equates reproduction with responsibility, when in some instances the inverse is the case.
My wife and I often endure the strange looks and teasing from breeding friends and family when we say we're never going to have kids. Today I stumbled upon a Child-Free website. The brat rant page is pretty funny - our usual saying is "reason [insert huge number here] not to have kids". And to further prove there's a newsgroup for anything you can possibly think of, there's alt.support.childfree. Amazing. :)
