For those that are not aware, anti-natalism is a philosophical position that assigns a negative notion or value one may say to birth.

While researching that position I "stumbled" upon a quote from Maxim Gorky which is as it follows. "Here I've been living along, year after year, forty of them behind me, with a wife and children, and not a soul in the world to talk to. Come moments when I think I just have to pour out my soul to somebody, to say all there is to say, and — no one to say it to! If you tell it to her—the wife, that is — it don't reach her. What's it to her? She's got her children, the house, her cares. She's outside my soul. Your wife's your friend till the first baby comes ... that's how it is. And in general, my wife—well, you can see for yourself—no fun with her—just a lump of flesh, damn it all! Ah, brother, what a heartache!"

The interpretation of it is pretty simple, basically the "rules" that MGTOW abide by.
