Reasons why women who opt to go childless face society’s wrath

While many girls grow into women aspiring to have kids, there is an increasing number of women who choose not to. For a long time, the society and women at large have associated success and fulfillment from having children. Most women who got married intend to have kids. Some who have difficulty conceiving go through a lot to be able to have kids. Society gives mothers, and the sacrifices they make for their families, more credit than they do to women who choose to go the other way. Not choosing to have kids is deemed as being selfish, cold-hearted, or damaging to these women. 

Most women who decide to live a child-free life are tagged toxic feminists, yet in the real sense they are not. They made a conscious choice not to mother any children of their own. Feminism is good but toxic feminists are poisonous to the future generations of girls. They believe that women are better than men and women do not need men. This has sparked up endless conversations on the influence of negative feminism whereby the idea of families as is, has been challenged and questioned. Childlessness has threatened the status quo where women are treated as a complete unit if and only if they are married and have children.
