I was told on my last trip that Women who don't have babies are worthless.
This was during a conversation with a friend's brother and his questioning my husband and I on why we have chosen not to have children. After me standing my ground and explaining our reasons (lack of money, lack of time, a little bit of selfishness, lack of patience)the only response was "well this girl here (the woman sitting next to me)is 20 and she has one".
So what gives? and just because we don't want children doesn't make ME worthless. I could have screamed! but it would have done no good...
This comment has weighed on my mind since I've returned. I just don't understand it. No matter how much good in the world I try to do...I'm still considered worthless!?!
**Keep in mind this was only one man who said this to me and I've never heard it from anyone else in JA. Usually it's just "when you gonna have babies?"
Any thoughts on this?
