lately ive been noticing an increase in people referring to a woman's role as being to have children and to be a homemaker which is all well and good,but what about women who for medical reasons (not personal/emotional ones) cannot become pregnant? are they to be viewed as practically disabled as they cannot fulfil their primary role? useless because they will not be birthing new white children into the world? barely women at all?
i think its very safe to say that the majority of women wish to have children at some stage,there are some that dont but thankfully they are few.i personally wish to have children when i am older but what if (heaven,hell etc forbid!!) i found that i couldn't? would my value as a woman decrease immediatly? i think to me,it certainly would but to the wider world would it?
its just something ive been thinking about lately,that yes, being a mother may be a woman's role in life but it is not a life given right in every case which is worrying.
