I have heard women who are perfectly normal say they won’t have children because it’s gross, painful, destroys the body, etc etc.
I’m betting this is a “I have a feeling,” with no empirical data behind it at all.Because alot of women are talked out of pregnancy by feminists because of all the “bad things” about it.
Add to that the talk of how expensive children are.We just need women who talk non-stop on their very painful and very long childbirth experience. Spent some time with my mother and her friend and all they talked about for three hours was childbirth. (Disclaimer: the previous statement is meant to be tongue in cheek in case anyone gets triggered.)
I agree with this statement 100%. I’m a Catholic woman, not a feminist, yet I don’t want kids at all myself. And my reasons for not wanting children have nothing to do with “feminist lies” and everything to do with just me being who I am. I’m not some career-obsessed, overly ambitious woman who doesn’t want kids so that I can take over the world, nor am I a promiscuous girl who just wants to have sex with no consequence. Some women just don’t find babies cute, don’t like being around kids, don’t find the life of a mother appealing, and so on. And your friend is absolutely validated in her fears of the physical challenges pregnancy and childbirth bring. I don’t blame her at all for that.Motherhood should not be entered lightly nor should be it a requirement for all women.
For the record, I am a Catholic, a woman, and a feminist.I’m a Catholic woman
