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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The thing about having a very young mother who had you at 20 is that you expect that you're going to be old ladies together.
Women are now very comfortable to have babies into their late 30s. You can be a father in your 50s. I'm not saying it's for everybody, and I think people have to get their own life secure before they take on the responsibility of a partner and children.
If I was a man, I don't know if I'd settle down long before I was 50.
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.
When I retired, I was at an in-between age. I wasn't a child anymore, I wasn't really a woman yet, and they weren't really writing scripts for that age.
Age is a chronological number. That's all. There is plenty of time for my life afterwards. I'm still a young woman.
I don't see any reason why I couldn't have a child when I'm 40.
I was with someone at 19, and I was married at 23, and I didn't want kids when I was in my 20s.
I never thought I was going to have children. I just thought after 45, that was it.
There are loads of women that don't want children. What does it matter? I'm still a woman.
