[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s weird how angry it seems to make some people when a woman chooses not to have children.  Maybe she wanted to but didn’t find the right guy (or didn’t find the right guy in time)?  Maybe she wanted to but was afraid of burdening her theoretical offspring with heritable mental or physical illnesses?  Maybe she hates kids?  Maybe she lives kids but thinks she’d be a terrible mother?

Women aren’t choosing not to have kids AT YOU.  This thread is bonkers.[/quote]

I just see this all the time and conservative rhetoric. Seem to take everything so personally[/quote]

Conservative women often think that their life purpose is having and raising children, and are threatened when others choose not to do that. (And I see nothing wrong if they choose to focus on having a family, but not everyone has to do that).[/quote]

I was fed the whole "career woman" line too, and I did it, and was very successful at an early age. I truly didn't think I had a choice, though. I thought I had to be highly successful in my career AND a mom AND many other things. It never occurred to me that I could stay home. You can be a mom and stay home and that is success. You don't need a career to "have it all."  That's what women should hear. We are different from men and the difference is good. And the difference should put more onus on men to make money. [/quote]
