[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I did not mean to offend anyone. I was simply expressing my hesitance to become part of a social group that generally isn't perceived in the most flattering light when it comes to being a woman. Moms work so hard and yet seem to be so undervalued. Everything they do is "uncool" or "embarrassing." I think there's something about being a youngish, in-the-know childless woman where people treat you better. That's what I am afraid of losing. [/quote]

Society views moms as sexless frumpy and lame. I do a hobby where I hang out with millennials a lot and it is shocking how they perceive older women and especially moms. Even very feminist young women fall prey to thinking about moms in this stereotypical way. As if women are stripped of any value or creativity or interest once they have kids. It’s ridiculous.[/quote]

So people who are actually procreating are perceived as sexless, but single women who live alone are super sexy? This is not how sex works. [/quote]

This made me literally lol. [/quote]
