My wife agrees—the 'baby pressure' is constant and overwhelming, especially from family members. No one has ever asked me when we’re having babies; it’s always directed at her.

quoting nevent1q…cuee

I see people and whole countries freaking out about low birth rates and trying to come up with ways to get women to have more babies… Why don’t you just make it not a shitty deal for women?

Instead of trying to shame women into giving up all that they are to produce children, why don’t we make the world friendlier to parents and families? A why not get fathers more involved? This way women can have children and still participate in the world! That might actually work.

But if you just keep asking women to give up all of their humanity besides this one part of it, if you ask them to give up all of their ambitions in life for children… they are going to keep opting out.
