I have a lot to say due to my experiences and i'm sure some other women have to!
Edit: If this circle was to be made, i feel like it would only be fair for a place for mothers too. It wouldn't be about bashing mothers and turning into the misogynist version ''r/chilldfree'' on reddit. It would be a place of sharing experiences and thoughtful discussion on why society forces women to be parents when some don't want to be.
To be fair and honest - there are a lot of men on the childfree reddit sub. (I've also seen trans people there, fishing for validation .. ugh!) Parents do get called breeders, and there are terms for children that I'd rather not repeat, so it's not all daisies and roses. But given the subject of conversation, I'm not mad when discussions get heated. I've read your other comment, and for me you really nailed it. If mothers are so happy with their life, why are they so mad the second childfree women talk about their lifes? I've seen other users here argue that even calling ourselves "childfree" is fundamentaly wrong.
I really don't get it. I don't want children and I get shit for it all the time. Why am I not allowed to be annoyed about that? And talk about being annoyed? Why are only mothers allowed to talk about their struggles? Instead I have to listen to constant arguments that I'll regret not having children, when I'm old and dried up(!!!) and becoming a mother is the true meaning of life for every woman. - I'm happy for everyone who feels that way. Enjoy your life and let me enjoy mine. Why is it impossible for mothers and childfree women to co-exist?
Well that's fair, men are disgusting about everything.
Also you're right, mothers say that type of misogynistic stuff to us all the time but if we mention it we're the misogynists somehow.
