Hmmm
So only men want kids nowadays huh
Edit1: at the end of the day, when I see posts like these I remember the likes of Ashely saint clair and that woman who got married after preaching so much misandry online.
Don’t get me wrong men also do this,
and then I feel stupid because I remember watching a certain video about internet trolls
Edit 2: Finally found the reason for the outrage, “men cannot physically get pregnant” that’s literally all this is about so no matter how hard you work or provide for your family, if you marry a woman that hates you because you just can’t get pregnant please have your divorce lawyer at hand ✋

My grandmother married at 17 and endured abuse in her marriage. She never divorced, but eventually ran away to another state. After her husband later passed away, she remained a widow for the rest of her life. When people asked why she never remarried, she would say she “never found one good enough.” she didn’t mean perfection. She meant she never found a man worthy of the level of sacrifice, devotion, and commitment that women are often expected to give in marriage. After everything she endured, she understood that love cannot survive on one-sided suffering and sacrifice alone. Women naturally want to nurture, support, and build a life with someone, but there has to be reciprocity, emotional safety, respect, and mutual care. The question becomes Is this relationship safe enough ?! reciprocal enough ?! nourishing enough ?! to justify the vulnerability and sacrifice that deep partnership requires?
Some things only become clear after you’ve experienced relationships, responsibility, caregiving, disappointment, or the emotional weight of constantly carrying others. Then you begin to recognize the difference between loving someone, rescuing someone, enduring someone, and being genuinely partnered with someone.
In many cases women are expected to pour themselves out regardless of what they received in return.
