For centuries, women have felt pressure to have a baby. Most adult women who don’t have children by their mid-late twenties have found themselves at parties, holidays, or family dinners where someone comments on their “biological clock” or asks that inevitable question–”When are you going to have a baby?”
In this episode, we dive deep into our own stories, those of the Undefining Motherhood community at large, and pop in some fascinating tidbits of history as we try to answer this question–Why does our society feel so comfortable asking personal questions about women’s bodies?
Key points explored in this episode include:
- The damage that comes when a woman’s value is tied to her ability to bear children
- The need for empathy and understanding, even for those asking when you’ll have a baby
- How validating all forms of motherhood challenges traditional narratives limiting women’s roles and worth.
