Are women unnatural for not wanting children

No. Your cousin's ignorant. Many men want children more than is "stereotypical," too.



Stupidest post I've seen today

I will probably get stick for this but personally I think it is. If you strip away all ideology such as political ideology feminism etc then it is likely women will adhere to their body's natural callings which is to reproduce

In 1960, and even up to the 1980s, the vast majority of women wanted children. After feminism engulfed the West, a huge number of women decided they no longer wanted children. Make of that what you will.

Cringe.

Like I said, I think you can't really compare things because of how society has changed and that obviously affects the way we see things. I'm not saying that it's wrong not to want to have children btw. I knew someone would take offence. I suppose in this climate you can't say anything without anyone taking issue

I'm not offended I just find your wording a little creepy, that you said my body has "a natural calling to reproduce."

Well that's your problem. My opinion, Dosent mean it actually applies. And anyway i might even argue that society has been conditioned so much that my statement Dosent even hold true unless all the ideology etc was stripped back and didn't exist

Yes, it is unnatural.

I think the only reason people would dispute that is because they feel the word "unnatural" has some kind of negative or pejorative connotation. I'm not saying it's bad in any way, but contrary to our natural instincts - certainly.

The cringe is real

Stop talking about your "bloodline" and "hiers"

We are not in game of thrones and if we were you would be a nameless peasant knee deep in horse ****, not Tywin flipping Lannister.

I always thought that both genders naturally want children, many men and women will say they want them.

Women not wanting children is no more unnatural than men not wanting them. The purpose of all life is to reproduce and create more life, ensure the survival of the species, but at the same time I think it's safe to say a) we've evolved enough to think beyond those base biological impulses and b) the population of the world isn't solely in our hands (or ovaries). Society is still relatively outdated in that it tends to put pressure on women who don't want children, but you should never be made to think that you are weird or unnatural or cold for not wanting them. Some people just don't. And if you don't, it's far better for everyone that you stay true to that. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty for being happy without them.
