āDeep down, every woman wants hundreds of babies. Itās natural. Youāre just trying to fool yourself.ā
People have died from horrific internal injuries caused by coat hangers trying not to have a baby. Can you imagine what that must have been like? To die that way - shredded apart inside. How frightened of the future must a human soul feel to risk consequences like that? People have thrown themselves from cliffs, off buildings and in front of trains rather than have a baby.
Some people very dearly want children, as many as they can.
But thereās always a limit.Ā
After a certain number of children, other factors become more important. They might be economic factors - āCan we afford to care properly for four?ā - or they might be emotional - āWill we have enough time to dedicate to them all?ā - or perhaps even physical factors, or ecological, or it just feels like āthatās enoughā.Ā
But in every single case, there comes a point where other factors outweigh the desire for children.
For some people, that kicks in at two children. Three children. Six children.
For some, it kicks in at zero children.
Women arenāt cattle. We make complex decisions based on our perception of our circumstances and our prospects, just like men do. For some women, they analyse their surroundings and decide that a baby would fit very nicely into the situation - maybe even a few babies. For others, we look around, weigh everything up, do some thinking, and decide that for us itās not a smart move.
Then there are people who find themselves pregnant, and frightened, and their analysis says that a violent death under the wheels of a train is the best course of action they can take.
And Iāll pre-reject the idea that,Ā āGiven sufficient material resources, every woman wants hundred of babies.ā As my material resources increase, so does my desire to spend them on new experiences, new adventures. Even if I imagine a life with an enormous house, three nannies, the fees for a private school, and all the disposable income my children could ever eat, I still donāt think it would be smart. I look at a scenario like that and start imagining my own business, maybe flying lessons, maybe setting up a charity. Not children.
So, simply put - itās not true.Ā
And as a future tip, try and treat women like weāre just female men - rather than walking sex toys and incubators. Youāre likely to get on with us much better.
