can we stop acting like saying pregnancy/birth is the coolest thing a woman can do with her body is a good thing? can we stop implying the BEST thing a woman can do is have a child? can we stop placing birth on a pedestal 😭😭

and to be clear when i say pedestal i mean in the sense that birth is ‘better’ than not giving birth. pregnancy should ALWAYS be treated as the serious medical emergency it is and women ofc should be given support before and after birth

I mean objectively speaking, I’d say creating a new living human is undeniably by far the coolest thing a women can do with her body

that doesn’t make it the COOLEST thing. if we create a hierarchy where birth/motherhood is seen as The Best Thing a woman can do, that harms EVERYONE. a woman’s value should never depend on whether or not she’s had a child. it implies every other achievement a woman could have can’t compare to giving birth

but its not the coolest thing a woman can do. there is so much more to women than just creating life.

i had a whole reply but realized it was full of typos so i deleted it lol but honestly if you personally think that, fine. idc about changing your mind. just don’t ignore the fact that acting like pregnancy/birth is the best thing a woman can do doesn’t put down every other achievement a woman has made. a woman’s value should never depend on whether or not she’s had a child

also i really hate the idea that the coolest thing a woman can do is something that directly requires the involvement of a man

I wasn’t saying it’s the coolest thing any woman can do, your post specifically said the coolest thing she can do with her body. Other achievements aren’t things to do with the body so that’s not what I was considering. You could look at it as something that requires the involvement of a man or you could look at it as quite literally the one thing women can do that men will never be able to.

are you genuinely making the argument a woman’s mind/hands/arms/legs/whatever else that would go into achieving something else isn’t her body? what exactly are you talking about that other achievements don’t require her body? do you think a woman’s body starts and ends in her womb?

There’s no need to get heated, I’m not arguing any of that. I just interpreted your question differently

I was literally just thinking of actual bodily functions not things like inventing something crazy or having a cool job and things like that
