when i was a kid i was so mad all the time bc i thought someday i'd have to be somebody's wife i didn't know it was optional. is everybody reminding the young girls in their lives that it's optional.

reading comprehension questions for the notes:

is wanting to be a wife and mother a requirement for being a woman?

why might OP be annoyed with replies assuming that this post is about being aroace or transmasc if a woman doesn’t want to be a wife or mother?

are there reasons unrelated to sexuality and romantic interest that might make a woman not want to be a wife or mother?

are there reasons unrelated to gender identity and expression that might make a woman not want to be a wife and mother?

core concept: what is gender essentialism?

is it gender essentialism to imply that all women inherently want to be wives and mothers? could this be what OP is critiquing?

look at the notes OP responds to. is it gender essentialism to imply that being a wife and mother is so affixed to womanhood that to not want to be those things means you’re incapable of sexual/romantic feelings, or not a woman?

what trait are you perpetuating when you assume that women who do not want to be wives and mothers must be aroace or trans? is it gender essentialism?

Cómo mierda funciona la educación superior en los países donde no toman mates? Qué haces? Vas a clases y te sentas? Y después qué? Cómo haces amigos? Hay otras formas de socializar que no sean ofertar y/o aceptar un mate? Dudas que me atormentan

A lot of fandom bullshit could be avoided if people just properly utilized the power of the three person group chat with a hilarious name.

Young people don’t know when I joined this website a decade and a half ago we used to have to walk to the post button and back and it was uphill both ways
