my friend Towe is working on a documentary on a difficult and important topic: mothers who regret having children.
there are 5 days to go on the kickstarter -- please consider backing if you care about difficult conversations and exploring tricky topics kickstarter.com/projects/mothe…
Only 19 hours left to help this film meet its goal. The doc Motherhood: Confessions of Regret is just $4,000 away from their goal (and they don't get anything if they don't meet it!) Let's help it get made. Check out kickstarter.com/projects/mothe…
⚠️Please consider donating to this important documentary project. only 6 hours to go!
🎥 Motherhood: Confessions of Regret by Towe on @Kickstarterkickstarter.com/projects/mothe…
@AZ_raw@phiinnaaa I just don’t want to put any child through this life.
No one consents to be here and I don’t want the child left to fend through this hard life. The direction of this planet is also getting worse, so would rather end the family line at me.
Single women without kids had an average of $65,000 in wealth in 2019, compared with $57,000 for single, child-free men, according to recent research from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. For single mothers, the figure was only $7,000
A growing number of women are choosing not to have kids, and as a result are advancing in their careers and using their wealth to buy property and travel more bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
"There’s no right way to be a woman, and it has nothing to do with whether you have kids. To insist otherwise is exclusionary and dangerous."

The term “starting a family” is problematic. Family is when two or more otherwise unrelated people choose each other.
A reminder that families without children are no less of a family than those with.

Finally what about people being intentionally #childfree?
This is just people 40+.
That rate has barely changed in the last five decades.
Except among the nones.
It was 20% in the 1970s.
Rose to nearly 30% in the 2000s.
But, has dropped to 20% in the most recent data.
New from me @RNS.
South Korea just reported their fertility rate dropped to an all time low.
And remember that tweet about how miserable 39 year old unmarried childless women are?
How does religion play a role in marriage and family?

I been telling y’all that motherhood in a patriarchal capitalist world is a trap. Many studies have demonstrated that working women are subject to a “motherhood penalty” either during pregnancy or after they give birth. Father’s lives remain relatively unscathed. #ChildFree

"Life starts when you have children"
What kind of person say something like that???
Watching Therese Lindgren's #childfree documentary - pretty good so far (but it's in Swedish)
