How much do you admit???

Exactly, Moo. It's different per person and I consider it a personal attack for someone to suggest that an aversion to the state of pregnancy (ask any man how "beautiful" he'd think the idea of another being growing inside of him, pushing his internal organs aside and draining his nutrients is...nobody would fault him for saying "hell no!" but for some reason women are supposed to orgasm at the thought of it) or avoiding it until needed indicates a need for mental evaluation.

Most women don't enjoy pregnancy. Most would rather skip it. Most wouldn't even HONESTLY say it's "beautiful" but they'd lie because society pegs them as awful mothers if they don't proclaim to love every minute of it. The truth is for most women, pregnancy is miserable. They do it because the END RESULT is beautiful FOR THEM. Pregnancy isn't the "miracle", the resulting baby is.

I personally can't imagine someone enjoying sharing their body to that extent for nearly a full year and being so restricted that they can't even eat foods that they would normally enjoy, but I'm not going to second-guess other people. Then once the birth is finished if they choose to breastfeed (and I say "choose" lightly given the pressure on women to bf whether they want to or not), that's an awful lot of restrictions and sharing of one's body. To suggest that anyone should do any of that against their will and then have the gall to suggest that if they would feel trapped, used or diseased by the process they must be mentally unstable is reprehensible.

Pregnancy and parenthood should never be a requirement for living. Children deserve mothers that want them more than comfort or a lack of pain, and women deserve more than being bingo'd into incubating against their true wishes.

Cmyked, not all women want to bear children and quite a few of us are as repulsed by the idea as a male would be. Get used to it. We aren't sick, we simply don't have an urge to reproduce. We aren't your collective.
