Wild theories about "Child Hate"

 It's Sunday morning, early enough that I can almost convince myself it's still Saturday night, almost.
I mention this not to pass the time, but rather as mitigation.

 Bordering stream-of-consciousness levels of logic (bad, bad logic, logic that really needs to be tied up and told off) follow this pagebreak. You have been warned.


 Child Hate.

 If you've dared to express on the internet that you don't plan to have children, and somehow fail to include the obligatory reference to nieces and nephews, then chances are you have been accused of hating children.

 It's never dislike. "You dislike children" does not carry the same weight, although it carries far more truth for many.

 Those who spew these unthinking clichés must know that there is a range of emotions possible.
For is it not written in the bingo guide: 

Thou shalt find that it is different when the fruit is of your loins

 So why hate?

 And here comes the wild guessing/psuedo psychology.
It's normal to say you hate things. It's frowned upon to hate culture. It's social suicide to say you hate groups of people.

Examples:
 If you don't like mustard, you'd probably say "I hate mustard" and no one would claim you were over reacting.
 If you don't like gangsta culture, you'd probably get a negative reaction from "I hate gangsta culture" but you'd survive.
 Whereas you'd have to be kind of terrible to say "I hate black people"

 We know that the claim of hating kids is supposed to be hurtful, the bingoer feels hurt in some way by the bingoee's childfree status. However, it's rarely (sadly not never) used to say that the childfree are as bad as racists.

 What I'm trying to say is: I think that many parents don't see children as people.

See? This one guy, totally all the proof I need.

 Although I have done no research, and have no interest in carrying out said research, it always seemed to me that the worst offenders are those parents with kid shaped kids. Followed closely by no kids yet. And bringing up the rear- those grandparents with kid shaped kids.
 Once they start getting personalities everyone chills a little.

Have I cracked it or have I cracked it? Nah, probably just rambling on, as per usual.
