DO CHILDFREE PEOPLE Have Better Sex? Regensburg author, teacher, and activist Verena Brunschweiger posed this question in the title of her book, published in 2022.1 The antinatalist caused quite a furor in Germany with her theories. Many found it unacceptable that a woman who teaches at a Bavarian grammar school has decided not to have children. Brunschweiger was not only criticized in the press and on social media, but was also taken to task by colleagues, parents, and her employer.2 Women who confidently profess the advantages of childlessness or are relentlessly honest about the burdens of motherhood defy social expectations, provoking strong reactions. Brunschweiger points out the ecological disadvantages of reproduction and thus refutes the accusation often levelled at childfree women that they are putting their own interests before the common good. Rachel Cusk and Sheila Heti stake similar claims to interpretative control over their own stories in A Life’s Work (2001) and Motherhood (2018).3 They no longer accept the social narrative that women only find fulfillment in motherhood and will regret deciding not to have a child; instead, they carefully explore the ambivalences, doubts, and questions associated with parenthood.
