Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kei te wero tētahi rōpū kaituhi i te ariā ko te noho hei mātua te kī ki te oranga pai me te oranga hari i roto i tētahi pukapuka whakamātautau hōu, e whakamātau ana i te whakatau ā-hinengaro o ia kaitoha ki te kore whai tamariki. Selfish, Shallow, and Self-Absorbed: Sixteen Writers on the Decision Not to Have Kids i whakatikahia e te kaituhi o Los Angeles a Meghan Daum, 45, nana nei i whakarite nga tuhinga a nga kaituhi 16, tae atu ki a Lionel Shriver, Sigrid Nunez, Kate Christensen, Elliott Holt, Geoff Dyer me Tim Kreider, mo tana pukapuka hou, kua whakaritea hei tuku i te Turei. Engari kaore te pukapuka e whakahe i te hunga kua whakatau ki te whai tamariki, engari he titiro ki te huarahi i tae mai ai etahi ki te whakatau ehara te matua i te mea mo ratou i roto i te ahurea e koropiko ana ki te matua.

Mo tana pukapuka, i rapu a Ms Daum i te tirohanga a nga tane me nga wahine, ahakoa ko te nuinga o nga tuhinga i roto i te kohinga na nga kaituhi wahine. 'Ki taku whakaaro me tupato tatou ki te whakaaro ko te matua anake te huarahi hei pakeke,' i kii a Ms Daum ki te putanga, me te kii 'he iti ake te taboo ki te kii, "He tangata kore ahau" i te kii ehara tenei i a au.'
