  • from Latin: a ("without") + proles ("offspring")

    Prejudice or discrimination directed against people who do not have children, whether by choice or circumstance. Benefits and other public advantages available exclusively to parents can be seen as forms of aprolism when they imply that people without children are less deserving of support.
