[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are such ghouls. Just because she didn’t want to go to extreme lengths like surrogate or egg donor doesn’t mean it wasn’t a “priority” and she doesn’t owe anyone a detailed account of that. [/quote]

She doesn’t owe anyone an explanation…so it’s weird that she continues to bring it up in every.single.interview.

Why???[/quote]

She is asked about it in every interview. She has a very "America's sweetheart" persona, plus the whole Jen vs. Angie narrative that has been going on for decades now, women relate to her as a woman wronged. I think she is generally pretty diplomatic about it, not throwing Brad under the bus as much as she could have, but people want MORE than that.

Personally, I think she was a fence-sitter (like me!) who [i]kinda[/i] wanted a kid, but didn't have any overwhelming biological drive and had a strong vision of what the rest of her life needed to look like before procreation or adoption. I think she wanted to be with someone who wanted a child with HER, and for several reasons, that didn't really happen. I have several friends like this. They're like, "if I get married by 40 and can have a kid, cool. But I'm not doing IVF, I'm not using donor eggs, I'm not getting a surrogate, etc." I think she is that, but the media has driven this narrative for her HARD. I think it's maybe in the past 2 years only she hasn't been on "bump watch" everytime the paps see her in Mexico on the beach leaning over after some guac and margs? They've been ruthless with her.

Oh, and society is RUTHLESS to women without kids. Check out the thread on Off Topic. It may be gone now but you have mothers out with pitchforks saying that all the "barren women should be banished from society and shipped to Lezbos."

Seriously. [/quote]

People are SO MEAN, even if I tell them I spent ten years and my life savings trying unsuccessfully to have a child. I just don't understand. I don't really want to be thought of as tragic either, but it would be better than the viciousness I get from people. [/quote]
