While vapid, childless celebrities like Chelsea Handler disseminate weird propaganda through corporate media to reassure themselves and their peers that their lack of reproduction is somehow an enlightened act of self-fulfillment, objective reality says otherwise.
It turns out, researchers have quantified the proportion of childless women whose status was intentional, and the number is extremely low.
...
Who are the childless and how many of them wanted children? The closest we can come is a 2010 meta-analysis by the Dutch academic Prof Renske Keiser, which suggested that only 10% of childless women actively chose not to become mothers. That leaves 90% of women [who wanted children]. Only 9% of that 90% are childless for known medical reasons.
That 10% figure may even be a stretch. Feminist dogma — which childless women disproportionately subscribe to — prohibits the expression of aspiration for motherhood, as it indicates submission to the Patriarchy™ or whatever. So it’s possible that they are too ashamed or repressed to consciously admit to wanting children — perhaps even to themselves.
Is Chelsea Handler one of that rare 10% of childless women who genuinely did not ever want to have kids? It’s impossible to say for sure, and her ideological commitment to third-wave feminism would prevent her from admitting it were that the case. But perhaps we can let the sadness in her eyes, hidden under all that makeup and pearly-white smile, answer the question.

All democrat women should save the planet and sterilize themselves.
As God intended
Women have been convinced the only thing that brings them true happiness is a burden to them.
Oh, we’re only a short ten years away from a whole new class of both sexes who will never reproduce. Sadly, however, they might adopt.
File this under the “NO ###T Sherlock” file, despite commie feminists trying to convince women otherwise.
Message to leftist female lurkers: You KNOW deep down that we are right. The left does not have your best interests at heart. You want a family and you want children like God intended. Do not allow the forces of evil to lead you into a life of hatred and despair in a childless, meaningless life. The traditional, loving family is what you seek. T
Most women (90% of them) have a maternal need to have a family and raise children. Men are disposable. That's the nature of mankind.
People in Hell wanted ice water.
Any mentally sound person desires a family.
French Polynesia. A great place to put unwanted babies up for adoption. Close-knit families. They need outsiders due to the gene pool being so restricted. An unwanted child would grow up with much love. So these women can’t make up their minds? Bring a child into the world for your own PHYSICAL well being. Then plan for the day when you can visit and get over your guilt. It’ll be awesome. Just learn to speak some French.
When people stop believing that children are a gift from the Lord they stop having children because they are careless rather than thinking they don’t regret it ... until only regret may remain.
It is a burden to love anyone, child or adult. However, in almost ALL cases, it is a burden worth bearing. It may lighten your bank account. It may rip your insides out and bring untold sorrow, but it is a burden worth bearing.
Yeah.
Shocking!
My dtr can not have children but she wanted them....
“Feminists” always promote the idea that women should behave more like men, hang out in bars and jump in the sack with as many guys as they can. Then, when they’re in their 30s they can settle down, get married, and have a kid or two. The problem is, most guys don’t want to marry a 30+ drunken bed hopper.
The maternal instinct is hard-wired. Film at eleven.
Women want children, as do men. It’s just not cool to say so out loud. Chelsea Handler will die alone and probably by her own hand, and totally miserable.
oh well, that’s what happens when you spend your life on pregnancy pills and abort all your kids.
they dont think they want or need kids because they are young and it seems like they will live forever. But one day they wake up and realize... oh crap.. I am getting old... and who is going to take care of me when I get even worse off? surely none of these dogs I am dating! oh crap! maybe I should have kids! oh wait... I am now too old!
