hello, I am at the fence between wanting to experience love, get married and have kids but at the same time I do know that it could mean losing a part of myself. I need some really honest sentiments

Patriarchy loves to push the trope of the bitter old woman being jealous of young women. Jealousy is why a 50yo woman would try to dissuade a 21yo from dating the old man 🙄

We need to normalize exposing abusers.

Marriage and kids, are the biggest lies the women in my life failed to warn me about. How different their lives would have been if they had not married or had kids. My mom, how I wish my mom had not met my dad. She was extremely smart, she had a career, dreams and aspirations. With my dad, she was miserable, she missed out on a whole other reality.

People need to learn by experience. But if there’s more older women being independent and living a happy life that doesn’t look like the traditional one, it shows the younger generation an example of other options.

That would require a lot of these women to drop their pride & admit out loud to themselves & others that their lives arent picture perfect like they try to portray. Let’s be real here, most wont do it

The pendulum always swings too far, it seems like we are in a stage of “overcorrection” in dating today

I have told my daughter the type of man she should choose. I said pick the man who takes care of you before he takes care of himself. In the meantime, go crush your own dreams!

Life is hard. Choose to be single and child free or married with litters .. the patriarchy gets all of us. Some degree greater than others. Look at your situation and what is beneficial for you. Get married don’t get married, it’s your life. Just make sure you make an informed decision based on your circumstances.

I’m 25 and I’m starting to realise that marriage is actually beneficial for men and not us… I’m soooo in the middle with this because a part of me wants to have kids and a family 😩😩😩 the more I see , the more I don’t want it

We as woman need to stop enabling. I am not saying is not men’s responsibility to deal with themselves, but WE NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE OF how being with a bad man will damage OUR LIFE QUALITY, health, finances . IT MATTERS❤️

I am 59 and salute the young woman for making better choices. But marriage is a patriarchal trap. Go live together, keep your financial independence .

My 21 year old daughter just told me that she’s losing hope in finding a good man and she doesn’t even want to have kids at this point. I didn’t tell her. She told me because she’s early on the lifting of the veil and she can’t unsee what she has seen.

Couldn’t agree with this more. We owe them information about the patriarchy and our bodies

You’re so beautiful mam, for me I believe it doesn’t matter how rich he is, HAVE your own Money, I don’t care how caring and providing he is, HAVE A CAREER he will fail you, and if he doesn’t then you’re prepared anyway and it’ll just be a plus

Gosh… I wish I had the advice of older women in my 20s. It would have saved me from SO MUCH PAIN. I wish the younger ladies would pls listen to us. We aren’t “jealous”. We just want to prevent u from getting hurt.

Talk to your sons, too! Mine just turned 17. I have been sitting him down occasionally and talking to him about women's cycles and how it impacts us. I am sharing with him in real time what perimenopause is like, how it impacts relationships, and how he can care for both a partner and himself during that transition in the future. He has been such a good listener. I told him one of the reasons it means so much to me to share the experience of womanhood with him is because very likely someday I will have the blessing of looking into my daughter-in-law's eyes and know that - way before I ever knew her - I was thinking of and laying the groundwork for her.
