I remember back in the '90s, I used to feel criticized by women for not having children. Like there must be something wrong with me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are loads of women that don't want children. What does it matter? I'm still a woman.
Women just weren't made to bear children to give them away.
Why did I not stop to have children? I suppose because the opportunity didn't present itself. Yes, many women feel they are not complete without having children, but I have different creative outlets.
As a woman of a certain age - and really, ever since I hit puberty and my baby-making parts were suddenly subject to public debate - I've been told over and over again that I will 'change my mind' about not wanting kids.
I always felt too young and selfish to have children of my own.
I feel like woman was brought to this world to have family and kids.
I don't have a child, so Women for Women is like my child. But I always said I would step down after 20 years. I didn't want to be a 60-year-old woman holding on to something I created when I was 23.
If you don't have a child, you're not a real woman. I know the ERA people will kill me for saying that.
It's not so much that I ever declared: 'I will never have children.' I just never found the right man to settle down with, so it didn't happen.
Any woman in any career has to think about when they have children, if they want to have children, and how it's going to affect their career.
