I don't have children and believe it or not I got shamed in my family for not having kids. It came to a point with my parents and sister, I blew up on social media at one point. We then had a back and forth phone conversation and it was done.

Ironically I got lucky, how? COVID happened and no travelled happened.

Would I have loved children? Yes, but it hasn't happened and if it does great and if not great.

The thing is I would never ever ever tell or shame a woman why not? That is a level of intimacy that you "have" to be sharing their bed and having sex to even have that conversation with, and even then her body her rules her way.

I do very much wish men would have a birth control pill option (it is close) outside of the nuclear option. Folks make a lot of assumptions about vasectomies that are just as gross as a man assuming so much about a woman's body.

Women should have the same privilege as men in this area which is privacy and autonomy in reproduction manners, anyone that says but what if ... no ... hush.
