Equality

 

I've reached that point in my life where, people ask when ARE you going to have kids? As though even today in 2017 there remains a notion that one has not done ones duty as a member of society if one doesn't have a child. This is something which is a little befuddling. That is seems not to matter as a woman what your contribution to society is, if one has not produced a copy. Not how long ones studies, or what work ones perspuse. Not fame, business accumin or solving world hunger. Not producing creative work, or finding a cure for aids. Can possibly be as rewarding or meaningful as having kids. This despite the fact that the world has unnumbered orphans, or that there are so many Homo sapiens on earth that we threaten our own existnace, with our greed for more natural resources, but one must have kids. And we say we have equality? We do not seems to place these burdens on men? For man the opposite seems to be true. This not detracting from people who do wish to have children,if  that is fine and meaningful to you wonderful. My question is, I guess why do they feel the need to make everyone else feel inferior to them? What about those people who can't have children? Have they ever thought how this attitude makes those people feel? We live in 2017, where this is a choice, one can make. Let each person make the choice which is right for them.
