[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dana is childless, is she not?[/quote] Spinster refers to an unmarried woman, not a childless woman.[/quote] The Oxford American English Dictionary defines spinster as "an unmarried woman, typically an older woman beyond the usual age for marriage". It adds: "In modern everyday English, however, spinster cannot be used to mean simply 'unmarried woman'; as such, it is a derogatory term, referring or alluding to a stereotype of an older woman who is unmarried, childless, prissy, and repressed."[/quote] Welp, do you really want to go around using such a misogynistic term?[/quote] So many people have children out of blind optimism and find their expectations to fall short. You can't control anything about how your child turns out, so why bother? Just seems like a lot of problems and stress for no gain. [/quote]
