"Jason's comments have since caused a stir online, with many people questioning why he felt the need to press Charli on the subject. "People with kids are so weird about people who don't want to have kids," one person said. "Why the fuck does society continue to pressure women, in particular, about having kids?!? People should respect when someone knows themselves well enough to say they don't want to be a parent," another person said."
"'I wish people would normalize that some people just simply do not want kids. It's not always about the 'right person.' Some people live very happy childless lives,' someone else echoed, while others branded Jason's comments 'gross' and 'insulting.' Several people went on to point out that having children involves significantly greater physical and biological demands on women compared to men."
Charli, 33, revealed uncertainty about wanting children and directly said she does not want to have kids. The topic arose after a conversation about her being an only child and a question about whether her upbringing influenced her desire for children. Jason joked that her "next husband" would change her mind, which led to online backlash. Commenters criticized the perceived pressure on women to become parents and called Jason's remarks gross and insulting. Several voices emphasized the greater physical, biological, and career-related burdens women face when having children and rejected the assumption that women will inevitably change their minds.
