Selfish, Shallow, and Self-Absorbed: Sixteen Writers on The Decision Not To Have Kids by Meghan Daum

medium-paced

2.0

Depressingly less thought-provoking than expected; it's a shame sixteen writers who are much older than myself and are 'intellectually superior' enough to care about their not passing their genes down or the effect of 'inferior' genes wrote nothing beyond (or moreover, less than) what I've been keeping thinking in my 30-something years of asexual life, to justify their urge of showing off (sorry, 'sharing') their 'tragic' upbringings or sarcasm. 

Expected to open the book to encounter something that enhance or challenge my view, especially of from philosophical standpoints, but was a sheer disappointment, though their honesty was appreciated. 
No doubt they are called 'selfish, shallow, and self-absorbed'.
