i think about motherhood & married life for women as a state of permanent servitude. their occupation is to be occupied by others it is an identity death. and what is often born of the ashes is a servant. a laborer
It’s kinda sad how my mom just wants someone else to do the cleaning for her for Mother’s Day and doesn’t care about anything else (sad as in her wish for Mother’s Day is any other day for my dad who doesn’t do any of that)

you’re not thinking too deeply at ALL. regardless of the personal joy marriage and motherhood can bring a woman it has been used as a tool of the patriarchy to control women since the beginning of time. it’s ensured even a poor man will always have a servant and it’s sick

You’re right. I’ve never had any desire for motherhood. I love children, but I’m not going through the physical hell of it to risk not even having someone to equally parent with. I still like the idea of marriage, if I can be with someone who truly makes the partnership equal. But I do think that is rare.

the more i think about it, the more i feel like marriage is almost never going to be truly equal and fulfilling

unfortunately it won’t. it’s a difficult thing to come to terms with but that doesn’t make it any less true
