[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Why does PP sound clueless? Women having control over their reproductive choices is a very recent development, even in the West. It's good that women can choose for themselves if  and when they want children.[/quote]

she sounds clueless because she is only 30 and [b]“has long decided to be childless. how long can that be?[/b]
also she is clueless for using her grandma as relevant alternative to pursing a PhD.  plenty of women have kids, careers and advanced degrees. [/quote]

DP  Considering there are less births today I'd say she could put it off forever.  Why do you care?  She didn't judge you and I'm sure she knows there are successful women who are mothers.    I'm sure we are all clueless about some things but, this doesn't sound like the pp is.[/quote]

You seriously don't think grandma pp and broodmare pp sound judgemental? Ok. [/quote]
