Hostile is also a state. Not just a action.
Let's take a look at at the full text:

I decided not to have children. My family was full of tension and anger, and then I noticed that many others were too. Such a family life was in no way attractive. When older, often I saw parents rebuke their children for playing with me, or even in my vicinity, assuming it would bother me — without waiting to see if I objected. Rebuking those children had become an ingrained, automatic habit. To see this made me sad for them, but I knew I would be the same as a parent. I would not be able cope with a frequently crying baby without becoming upset and angry.

If this does not read as a person that has a poor outlook on family and child rearing, I don't know what does. His family is full of tension and anger. He apparently believe all families are because he see many others are. Family is not attractive to him as a result. Why would he want kids if this is true in his mind? Rebuking children apparently is ingrained. The author has some issues. He sees himself as one of those rebuking parents. The rest of the article is nothing but a good cover up to his real issue IMO.
