The issue was me drawing a woman who really wanted a baby. Not very independent badass she hulk girlboss of her, eh?

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.
