Wherever women speak about their autonomy and future: "are you SURE you're sure? One day you might regret what you're sure about!"

People shouldn't assume "kids or not" is always a black and white decision. We weighed it up. It was hard. I'd prefer to regret no than yes
societal "norms" of patriarchy. Ugh.
so I can imagine!
Such a constructive way of looking at this choice. It is never simple and people need to mind their own darn business.

Echoing "people need to mind their own darn business." EXACTLY this.

Talking abt infertility has been a powerful way for me to have ppl mind their business. But it shouldn't be necessary.
-
I agree. People should consider fertility issues and shouldn't need a "legitimate" excuse like infertility to accept childlessness either.
-
Also *super important* to consider there may be sensitive reasons for someone not wanting children. It's personal, period.
-
People act like it's so sad for women but not for men: "But who'll visit you when you're old?" Ah: my rad friends.
-
And my hamsters and puppies and kitties!
-
YES!
I aspire for a cat and dog! -
Best of both worlds!

My very first doctors appt after I moved to the US, my doctor reduced me to tears by being judgey about me being childfree in my 30s

That's awful!
Sorry this happened to you. How dare they abuse their position of authority like that! Be kind, MDs, be thoughtful. -
Yes! an abuse of authority. They're in the position to make you feel good/bad about things. They also have the ability to be compassionate.
