Since we are on that 21st century stuff... No, not everybody wants to have babies.
I never did. Sure, I have my occasional moments where I go all gooey - but overall, I stand by that choice. And so do plenty of other women.
Having kids thankfully is a choice these days. I respect people who choose to have them - I'd appreciate it if that was a mutual courtesy.
Edit: Fixed mark-up. Glad that there are so many ways to emphasize text that every website gets to pick their own ;)
- einhverfr 15y agoBut do you appreciate being asked to make a choice between children and career? I think that's a big problem that few people are willing to address.
- groby_b 15y agoNo, I don't. At all. I was specifically pointing out the "_everybody_ wants to have kids" line. It's not everybody. But yes, having to make that choice is bad. For both men and women. It's usually worse for women - men can, from what I've seen, have kids (well, by proxy ;) and have it not impact their career too badly.
- Vivtek 15y agoBah. You can choose not to have children and still acknowledge that the urge to procreate isn't any more a female thing than the urge to succeed is male.
