Why do people believe all women are meant to be mothers?

[Anonymous]

I’ve personally heard women express their love of being pregnant, the torture being worth it because they get a baby, and there’s genuinely no animosity towards dads who only contributed a small amount of work to bring about a child being born

On the other hand, there are women who completely view pregnancy for what it is, torture and see absolutely nothing positive about the experience.

Overall, I am sure all women do not love pregnancy, being sick, hormones everywhere, splitting their vagina to their anus, etc but sometimes there’s a thought that maybe, it isn’t too horrible then seeing every single mom struggle to labor is like ice cold water thrown at you reminding you that nothing special is happening at least for mom from the outside looking in. And of course, a strong dislike for fathers

What is this about?

Well you and every other woman has the decision to make on whether to have children or not (unless there are fertility issues). The US has an exceptionally high rate of single mothers - about a third of births are to single mothers in their 20s.

You are writing as though single mothers had no agency in becoming single mothers. What? Was birth control intellectually beyond them? It was always their decision to conceive or to not exercise due care and give fate a chance.

Why do you take the single moms decision to be ice cold water thrown at you?

What this is about is simply biology. You can choose to never have children or to be a single mom or to be a partnered mom (though in this case you need to persuade a man to participate). You can even choose to have a surrogate mom do all the struggling for you. If you don't like fathers then you can simply choose to go to a sperm bank.

Your choice as to whether you will go through pregnancy and birth.

after all that, the REALITY is that a female body is "structured" prepared for pregnancy. each month ladies get a "reminder" the ovum egg was not used. so we generally assume the lady will use those organs unless health exception. even after feeling the pain of childbirth ladies have a second... not plan stop nor abort fetus kuz birth is natural for (females or) how we must say today "people born with a uterus".

Because many people still believe that women are only meant to be mothers and wives. That all women love babies and all women want to get married.
They still don't get that women (in most countries, unfortunately not in all) can make the decision of not having kids. They don't understand that women are human beings and that we can do many other things with our lives. Also that we are not all the same.

Well two things I know is that the woman was created not only to help reproduce but to support a man, it's why God created two genders, they both need each other, not only to reproduce but in life in general, the way its best described is the man is the head and the woman is the neck, can't have a head without a neck or a neck without a head, and both genders should bring more life into the world, so every woman should experience being a mother, I know there's pain and stuff involved but it might not seem worth it but I believe if you had a child, your mind would change on that as you'll grow motherly instincts.

Delusion. Dial back the bigotry; you'll be a lot happier for it.

[FilmGuy93]

Because a significant enough majority of women do enjoy being mothers (especially if they are carrying the right man's children).

[mommymommymommy]

It's like saying all men are meant to be fathers. It's simply not true. I don't want kids, and I don't think I will have them

The only reason I would... I'm an only child, male

[Berethor]

Because birth control stuff is artificial, and having children is the main purpose of life.

[BarryLiverstone]

Sacrifice is a part of life and it’s what parents do. Clearly women embrace becoming a mom and see more benefits than the alternative.

Where do you get that? Most want to be mothers, this is true. But quite a few women today shouldn't even consider being mothers. They'll only hurt themselves and worse thier offspring.
