This week on The Labia Lounge podcast I invited Ruby Warrington (the author of Women Without Kids - The Revolutionary Rise of an Unsung Sisterhood) on to take a deep dive into the complexities of women's decisions surrounding motherhood. We explore the societal pressures, judgment, and stigma faced by women who choose not to become mothers, where they're either seen as sadly childless (insert: barren, infertile, unable to have children, lonely and purposeless) OR selfishly child-free (insert more assumptions and judgements: heartless, narcissistic, abnormal, lacking basic maternal, nurturing instincts...) Throughout the episode, we discuss the personal and nuanced decision-making process behind not having children, the societal expectations placed on women, and the impact of intergenerational trauma. We also touch on the societal benefits of not everyone having children and the broader implications of declining birth rates worldwide. From the societal impact of the 0rgasm gap and men's 0rgasmic entitlement, to "child-free by climate change" and other existential reflections around bringing kids into the world we now live in, this episode tackles thought-provoking topics and encourages listeners to question traditional narratives around motherhood and female fulfillment. Join us as we delve into meaningful conversations about womanhood, conditioning and external pressures to blindly follow along with the default expectation that all women should automatically become mothers, instead of carefully considering this as one of, if not THE, biggest and most impactful decision of one's life!
