I thought it was pretty straight forward myself....lol

 

[Tuffdisc]

Feel my womanhood....lol...ok, I'll behave.


I gotta say that I started feeling my womanhood ever since the day I was informed by Mother Nature that that's where I now lived. Going from childhood to womanhood can be beautiful but difficult and that can also be said for the transition from womanhood to motherhood....but it's all good. I am woman hear me roar...we're amazing creatures, don't you agree?...lol

I agree with you on anything, Sadie :24:

lol, why is it a weird question? there are a lot of women in this world that think that it does make them feel their womanhood, hence the question

But what about women who choose to never have children? Or women who are unable to carry a child to term? Do they never feel their womanhood?

What makes someone feel womanly is so vastly different for every single woman because everyone has such varied life experiences. I gave birth at 17. I didn't feel like a woman because I was still treated as a child.

I don't know, all I wanted to know was if they felt the need to give birth because they "needed to feel their womanhood", I feel horrible and frustrated because I am a man that I can't contradict people who say that "they need to feel it". I am all for choice for those who don't want to give birth to children. I also feel that people who say things like that are some what pushing women to give birth to children

It's different for everyone, some women very much want children and won't see themselves as whole until they have a family, but that's no true for all of us.


I very much want a family, one of my closest friends doesn't. We're all different.

A woman now a woman always..!!

In all honesty, the thought of pregnancy scares me. I've had so many nightmares about it -.-; I'm a woman as is, being pregnant and giving birth wont change that in any way shape or form. Giving birth is to become a mother, not to become a woman.

Well said

Anybody that looks to someone else to make them feel their best is fighting a losing battle, IMO. I don't want kids and, although I know it's an amazing experience, I don't feel that it makes me any less of a woman to not want kids.

I'm glad I'm a man and don't need to squeeze out something the size of a watermelon from my private parts to feel my manhood.:24:

That's because it doesn't!! You're every bit a woman and your decision ( as a woman) to not have kids is your choice....just like it was my choice to have them. ((hugs))

Men don't give birth to 'water melons' , they just father them!!

I do not believe that people are born to reproduce.
We are not here to make babies. lol

But women are women, babies or not

I agree but if you believed in the First Creation the main purpose of creation was to serve appetite and libido. Both bear their consequences, don't they??

 

[Skorpy]

lol, they certainly do

 

[BornReady]

To say a woman must have a baby to "feel her womanhood" is demeaning to women. It implies they are just baby factories.

I don't feel any different now after having kids, then I did before.
I look different lol, But don't feel it
