This woman is insufferable and doubt a girl would please her. [/quote]

None of these elements are in OP's post. Perhaps you read something else?[/quote]

They most certainly are. Perhaps you need to comprehend. [/quote]

I'm the OP, and they most certainly aren't. I wrote something that many women can relate to but many are afraid to articulate. I'm sorry if it hit a bad note with you. It's not selfish to wonder about having a daughter. "Insufferable"? Why the overreaction? It is a legitimate feeling. A common one. Be kinder please.[/quote]

There are things to be sad about. No one feels sorry for you and you are ridiculous. You may get too weak to be a parent. Absolutely ridiculous. [/quote]

I'm not asking for pity. As I said in my original post, I love my kids. I also feel a pang of sadness over not having a daughter-mother bond.

It's not ridiculous. I'm not sure why you think so. I also don't know what the sentence "You may get too weak to be a parent" means.[/quote]

Keep those son-hating thoughts to yourself. [/quote]

Where did anyone say they "hated" their sons? Please, point me to the phrase: "I hate my sons." Go ahead. Please.[/quote]

I agree, her whining does come off a bit that way. [/quote]

There is not a trace of whininess. It is a very common, resonant sentiment that women are made to feel shame about, thanks in large part to comments like these. Support and validate women.[/quote]

Blindly support and validate whatever even if ridiculous.  Not sexist are you?  You also hate males and sons, I see. [/quote]

Feeling a pang of wistfulness or longing over not having a daughter is most certainly not ridiculous. Please think critically and with nuance: Humans contain multitudes. You can love a son but also be curious about a daughter-mother relationship. Why are you responding in such angry absolutes?

You suggest that the OP didn’t open herself up to scrutiny with that post? [/quote]

Scrutiny is one thing; nonsensical claims about man-hating falls into a very different realm.[/quote]

Well that’s the scrutiny she opened herself up to. [/quote]

Scrutiny isn't typically synonymous with name-calling and baseless hyperbole.[/quote]

You want to people to play in some sort of scrutiny definition role. I’m not the chief of it. Whatever semantics you want to call it, the OP opened herself up to it. [/quote]
