@OtherSociology I remember this topic being one where I got into a discussion w/a colleague where I was citing stats & he citing anecdotes
My latest: #Sociology of why women choose to remain child-free: lifestyle & inequality of motherhood. http://buff.ly/1d9eGQB

@The_Episiarch Did this person bring out the old: "I knew this one chick who used to say this & now she's married with 3 kids!" So special. -
@OtherSociology pretty much that - "You know so-and-so said they won't have kids & nxt thing you know a few yrs later they had X kids!" -
@The_Episiarch Thankfully as we all know in science one case proves Everything. Ovaries win! Amazing need to fit people into one narrative -
@OtherSociology re: the need to fit ppl into one narrative - I find sometimes ppl do that in order to validate their own choices in life -
@The_Episiarch Yep! Defending what's "normal" & "natural" in human nature, especially on moral grounds, suggests it is social construction

@OtherSociology@The_Episiarch So thankful to be seeing more thoughtful writing like this on this topic! -
@Omegafauna@The_Episiarch Yes not enough respectful discussion on why people choose different lifecourse & why this creates social anxiety
