The idea that it is ‘normal’ to have children and anyone who doesn’t has to explain themselves is bad enough. Worse, it’s always women who seem get asked
When I was an undergraduate, I wrote a thesis titled “Feminism v femocracy”. It explored the question of whether female politicians actually advance the cause of women more generally. This was my first awakening to the theory – which I’d already sensed from growing up under Margaret Thatcher – that the presence of women in politics has obvious symbolic value, but in no way guarantees to advance the female cause.
I suspect that we as a society are not sensible enough to deal with revelations of personal suffering
