Motherhood is a cuck. A scam. For a lot of women where I live, they often don't go to college and instead get married and then eventually get knocked up and have children in their 20s as they were raised to be baby-crazy and have virtually no other ambition or were never presented with any other option. Being a SAHM is actually very common in the US, so I'm not sure what these Republicans are going on about when they somehow say that apparently "too many women are choosing their careers over motherhood", because that's such a rare phenomenon. No, we don't need to "encourage" women to be mothers "More", because for the most part it's shoved down our throats the minute most of us hit reproductive age. Issues with family and children is something were all told to think about ahead, and is presented as something that's a definite future for nearly all of us and it's considered "abnormal" if we don't want children, want to pursue other ventures, and aren't completely crazed with maternal instincts by the ages of 25-35. I've been told by many people (friends, families, counselors, teachers, etc.), that I shouldn't do a job because it wouldn't be flexible enough "when" I have children. They always suggested to me whenever I talked about my future plans, "Aren't you sure you want this other job that would make it easier to raise children?", "Are you sure you don't want this job that would provide more work-life balance for raising children?", etc,etc, and it is so damn exhausting.

So yeah, if motherhood, babies, and "keeping a home" is the only thing that society values me for and sees me as good for, then yeah I'm very resentful of my own body and despise the sheer concept of pregnancy/motherhood in every possible way.

the complete loss of autonomy, the overtaking of your own body, the legislative overtaking of your autonomy, the conditioning and expectation that it's right and just to sacrifice your body and life for something else, as if you don't exist and have never existed as a person and have no potential, the physical trauma incurred by pregnancy and childbirth, the increased likelihood of falling into poverty... gee, i wonder why women would hate it. OP shouldn't even be asking "what's wrong with me?". you have to be delusional and masochistic to want this for yourself.

Pregnancy is dangerous as fuck. Just read about all of the possible side effects you’ll have to deal with after.

Not only that but once you have kids, you’ll be discriminated against and held back in your career. Even women who work have the majority of the housework pushed on them by husbands.

Having kids just isn’t worth the cost. Oh and the financial cost too!

Not at all. I'd war with myself in my younger years. I'd go from I want kids to pregnancy and all its possible complications or death, disquieting me. Now it's a if it happens, he better be a one of a kind man.

I was admittedly going to go seek out the fertility clinics and do my own thing by myself, but I was ultimately more scared of the needles. I took it as a sign that while I was not meant for motherhood right now, I was still meant to be maternal always to my siblings children.

And I am quite pleased with it and I am slowly acclimating to the idea of true childlessness. Maybe I'll meet a wonderful man, but either way I'll be the spoiling aunt and that man will of course be told he is not my #1 priority. Because he's not.

Nope. Funny enough how my boss is pregnant and all the women talk about their pregnancies and how long they've been into labor for this kids and it's so unappealing to me lol. I hate the idea of having another full time job to a human who doesn't realize how much work I'm putting into them or just having that financial, emotional, and physical responsibility of having kids. Hearing all the shitty side effects with pregnancy too nope I'd rather just spend my money on myself and not worry about putting my body through hell.

I’m tokophobic. I think I’d rather be dead than pregnant.

I hate this world and my life so intensely without kids, I can't even begin to imagine my mental health if I were to get pregnant and try to raise a child. It would be my personal hell. Men don't even step up and help you. They just want to be fun dad while you do the ACTUAL childrearing. It's all a scam. It's hard NOT to feel repulsed, actually.
