This comment is misogynistic. Obviously a lot of women enjoy being mothers, but to say that it's a universal biological destiny is simply wrong. Women can participate in society and find fulfillment in many ways, regardless of whether or not they have kids.

I'll take "things I didn't write" for $800, Mayim.

I propose that artificial ovaries are misogynistic. Is George M. Church a woman? He's a very well-funded Church indeed!

Your words were "biological design and destiny". It's hard not to read that as saying that a woman's body is designed to have kids and that having kids is her destiny.

Where did I write that it is universal?

You didn’t have to, because you used “women” as a collective noun throughout; the implication is exceedingly clear.

meh, seems unlikely, but i guess in some rare cases that may be possible.

Please reconsider this notion that it's rare for women to have fulfillment in life without children. It's really hurtful to women who have trouble conceiving or have had miscarriages (miscarriages are shockingly common) to have the added societal pressure.

I hope you never express this attitude within earshot of a woman who is experiencing reproductive pain in her life.
