When I first started researching antinatalism a few years ago I presumed its proponents would be losers and edgelords. You know, those men who love playing devil's advocate. Incels masquerading as philosophers and 14-year-olds who have just discovered Nietzsche. The world's most famous antinatalist academic, David Benatar, has a book called The Second Sexism: Discrimination Against Men and Boys. I remember rolling my eyes back into my skull, thinking: here we go.
