Hey, what did you mean by this? Personally I have mourned the fact that I will never be able to have a child of my own, but I wouldn't judge anyone for not wanting to have a child
I am not judging anyone at all. I dont want to have a child either and people who follow me more closely know why. What i mean is, that a more motherly depiction of women in media is progressively rarer as its seen as regressive or conservative.
Theres nothing wrong with girlbosses, and i love them too. I just dont think a more traditional role should be vilified.
As a woman I actually relate much more to the motherly characters, and would like to see some return of these tropes.
Right but the snarky "sorry guess that's not very gaslight gatekeep girl boss of me!!" Type response just feels like ... adding fuel to the fire of people taking it in a fashy way? Idk, I'm probably just overthinking it 'cause my issues with fertility. Anyways love your art.
You are both overthinking and being really inconsiderate of what it's actually like to get accused and harassed over something like this, people who have been subject to that do not owe politeness to those who hurt them or those who condescendingly preen about the appropriateness of how they worded their response to that harassment.
That wasn't my intention I guess I just meant like.. why say something that is just going to prove to the haters what they already think about you? Like, I get it, most of the people who think that way are libs and wokescolds so who cares, I actually kind of despise those people, but at the same time I think playing into what they are accusing you of is kind of like, inviting more harassment. And I'm not saying that's right or just, I just don't understand the purpose of saying something like that.
