[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very glad I live in a society where women have the choice (and methods) to never have children. We still have a lot of work to do to get the point where it's not just assumed that every woman will or wants to be a broodmare. [/quote]

+1000! I'm a 30yo woman who is doing my PhD and I have long decided that I am childfree by choice. My grandmother didn't have the same choices I have- she was illiterate and coerced into marriage and bore 7 children- with no pain meds. Her life sucked and I wish more people can realize just how recent it has been in human history for a woman to exercise her reproductive choices. Unless of course you're in Alabama. [/quote]

I have an Ivy League PhD and 3 kids. You sound clueless.[/quote]

DP  Good for you but, not everyone wants kids.  Also, she wasn't comparing herself to you but, her grandmother who didn't have any choice.  Personally I wouldn't have been ready to have kids at 20.[/quote]
