All women don’t desire to have children… and that’s okay.
Every woman over a certain age with no kids will likely face questions about conception at some point, because, quite frankly…people don’t always mind their business! However, it seems that society overall has evolved to a place of not only accepting the fact that some women have no desire to have children, but embracing it! What used to be somewhat of a taboo topic, has now been replaced with a more positive narrative and empowering representation.
