Most women want to be mothers. They want to be married and have children. It is a fact of nature.

Those who say they don’t want to be mothers usually have had bad childhood experiences in their own family, have not been able to find a good relationship with a man or have some personal characteristic that makes them think they would be failures as wives and mothers.

If you talk to older single women or women without children they are often very bitter.

You’re right. Not finding a anybody to marry was my main problem, and I know I’m bitter, though I know it’s a negative emotion, andI try hard not to be.

I'll throw the BS flag on you for your post. You present an "either/or" scenario, where either a woman wants kids or doesn't want them due to some emotional trauma in childhood, a sub-par spouse or some "personal characteristic" that precludes motherhood.

Has it ever occurred to you that some people can have had a happy childhood, be married to a nice spouse and still not want to have children? What "fact of nature" are you citing? Please elaborate, because I think your argument is being pulled out of thin air.

My wife and I had great childhoods, never wanted children and are not bitter in the least. Our lives are not centered around the biological function of procreation. If yours is, that's great for you. To assign a dysfunctional persona to those who don't procreate is ignorance at best.

Neither of us is bitter. Indeed, we often feel sorry for our friends who have children that turn out to be dysfunctional idiots, who then breed like rabbits and burden their parents with their (usually) illegitimate offspring.

Have kids if you want, but denigrating those who don't is based on fallacy, not fact.
