I'm not in my fifties. In my twenties I was an idiot. I believed what was being said about feminism, choices, marriage, children, sex.... <br /><br />There's a very unhealthy attitude in this country toward having children and towards fertility. There's this idea that you can postpone it for a long time. People have one child -- siblings are great!!! Cousins are great!!! But families are now tiny, and parents are older, children are weirdly worshipped, while pregnancy in general seen as "a treatable disease"...leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15723921072576401390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-10275485186361878382018-05-20T21:27:35.651-07:002018-05-20T21:27:35.651-07:00I can't really claim it, I wouldn't have e...I can't really claim it, I wouldn't have even recognized the issue if Darwin hadn't pointed out it's...well, screwy. Once he pointed it out, it clicked: the thing <i>is</i> usually set up as all the woman's fault, and responsibility. <br />http://darwincatholic.blogspot.com/2018/05/fertility-blaming.htmlFoxfierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10161683096247890834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-72327051412871178632018-05-20T20:48:29.132-07:002018-05-20T20:48:29.132-07:00"fertility is a female flaw" - What a ge..."fertility is a female flaw" - What a genius phrasing. Thanks for sharing that.

You're quite right about the "told girls not to"-- all through school, I was beaten over the head with the idea that if you had a kid, your <i>life is over</i>. <br />Solid chunk of teaching boys and girls that fertility is a female flaw doesn't help, either....Foxfierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10161683096247890834noreply@blogger.com
