why do writers make a woman being infertile out to be the most tragic and horrific thing ever??? like adoption exists???? surrogates??? do they think mothers who adopt their children aren’t “real” mothers??? not all women want children anyhow???? a woman’s??? worth??? is not??? defined by??? her ability??? to??? bear??? children???

PRINT THIS EVERWHERE

also please note how awful this trope is for women who DO struggle with infertility; it’s often horrifically painful and heart-wrenching, and writers using it for cheap pathos is insensitive and cruel
