Something tells me these women should have picked an anonymous donor, given birth and give the child up for adoption. They’d be miserable every day for the rest of their lives but it would at least be for a legitimate reason.
It’s human nature. Women were put on this earth to do that. This way they can do their own thing while good people raise their child. Their bodies need to go those changes that will come through pregnancy. Then they can abandon it the way animals do. It takes a village right?
I know it sounds neanderthal but is it any worse?
I don’t have kids and have no problem with that. I dreamed big of what I could accomplish. Not my children. Me. Men had no problem dreaming, but women were supposed to not exist except as pathways for a new generation of girls to be childrearers and boys to be the ones who accomplished.
Garbage. That attitude is why Women’s Lib was necessary. Thank goodness society has moved past those attitudes and roles are now chosen rather than forced.
I did what I wanted to do and accomplished much of what I dreamed of doing. I’ll pass the torch to another generation that will not be of my genes but of my dreams.
I have friends who were so against children that they were sterilized. That was their choice. I respect it. I have friends who popped out kids like puppies. Some came out well. Some came out poorly. I respect those choices as well.
Yes, society absolutely needs reproducers. And those who do so should be respected. But not everyone needs to be a baby factory. And their choice deserves equal respect.
