It seems that whenever I mention not wanting to ever have children, someone winds up bringing the tripe bit of garbage about the so called Biological Clock. They tell me that, as a woman, my clock will be going off soon, blaring about how it's time for me to expel a larger bit of biological matter from my body.
I don't believe it.
If the propaganda about the biological clock were true, then how does it affect nuns? These women dedicate themselves to a lifestyle that leads them away from an existence filled with carnal desires, and as a result, producing progeny. Does one say to them, "Oh, give it time. Your biological clock will be screaming when you're older?"
I'd hope not. It'd be considered offensive, so I have to wonder about what makes it right to say such a thing to a woman who simply refuses to bear a child without the added condition of lifelong servitude to a deity. What makes it right to belittle a woman's choice so freely?
Nothing, in my opinion. The garbage about the biological clock is just that-- garbage. If one feels the desire to reproduce, then go right ahead, but don't belittle those who don't. Some of us are just realizing how overpopulated the world really is.
And the rest, well, I'm guessing they just don't care. I don't.
