Is womanhood inseparable from motherhood?

[Anonymous]

It is

It isn't

Not sure what you mean as there are plenty of women who choose or cannot physically have children.

If you mean the idea that all women should be mother's, i suppose that women can't beat that outdated thought process from others. That doesn't mean all women HAVE to be mothers though.

Would this mean that a woman's only identity is being a mother? I think that does women a disservice. Even when a woman becomes a mother, she can still have her own identity.

In essence isn't the main trait of a woman the ability to mother a child?

If we're seeing people only as a means of reproduction, then I guess so. I think that's silly.

Yes. LOTS of women aren't mothers.(Beardo calls them "childless cat ladies.")

[blackeagle007]

Only far right and religious fanatics deem women to be mothers

So wouod a childless women after menopause stop being a women? 🤔
No WTF!
Motherhood can be a part, if chosen but isn't essential for womenhood.

You can be a woman without being a mom, but being a mom and not being a woman is also true.

No, those are two different things.
