Do child-free women of a certain age face much social turbulence regarding their choice?
I've caught some shit here and there, but nothing too bad. It's mostly people saying I'll change my mind, however, I have been called "selfish" once or twice-which I am totally unable to wrap my head around.
Would anyone else care to share their thoughts or experiences? Does this letter seem thoughtful or patronizing?
As a woman who does not want children, I would hate to hear this. While more often than not, I'm told I'm either being immature or that I don't know what I want yet for saying I don't want children in my early 20's, I also don't want to get pats on the back for standing up for my autonomy. This whole thing reeks of gross self-congratulation.
