Thanks for this message, Addie. I tried to convey something similar ("As a Mother, I Celebrate Childfree Women") but I what I don't think I clarified enough in that story is what you really drove home here -- the patriarchy is to blame, both for the challenges that mothers face and the societal judgments cast upon childfree women. As long as we focus our anger and frustrations on each other, we can't do the real work of dismantling a patriarchy that is hell bent on confining us.
