women and babies

Date: 2008-06-20 11:10 am (UTC)
I'm a woman, and I'm not particularly fond of babies.
I mean I have nothing against babies or children as such, I even think I'd like to have kids in a preferably slightly distant future, but I'm not your typical cliché of the girl who starts screaming "so cuuuuuuute!" every times she sees a baby.
I don't think I'm an exception or an error of nature or a victim of some conspiracy to convince women they'd rather have a career than a family.
On the contrary, I have the impression there is still a lot of pressure for women to be mothers or at least aspire to be mothers, as if not wanting children was somehow unnatural.
Also, I want to have a career and perhaps I'm being naive, but I don't think it's impossible. After all my mother did it and she had four kids too, so that can't be completely impossible.
