I'm near your age(36) and female and I'm at the opposite end. It's never been a goal or wish of mine to be a mom. I never played house as a kid and never pretended any of my dolls or toys were my babies. I simply lacked that.
Then, around age 14, began sex ed in public school. I got to see/hear on video exactly what a woman experiences when giving birth. I actually didn't watch, just listened to her scream as I counted the small flecks of gold in my desk...anything to distract myself from it. That cemented my decision, which I promised myself over 20 years ago now. I think it is the most humiliating, degrading, disgusting, atrocious experience any woman could ever have. It makes me recoil to this day. And that will never be me.
Intelligence doesn't really have anything to do with it. Maybe no fear of consequences? Or something like that. For a woman it could be a deadly experience...a punishment in a way.
I agree with political atheist that it is only encouraged by govts now because they realize the falling birthrate means less taxes and fewer slaves for them. Good for me that my time is almost up.
As a pantheist, with existential tendencies who feels that it takes all kinds to make a world, I tend to see these fundamental differences in perspective as inevitable, given the widely divergent factors that we all are exposed to, that shape our worldview.
Rachel Carsons book "Silent Spring" expressed a powerful warning about the consequences of saturating the environment with hormone disrupting pesticides and chemicals. Not only did DDT reduce fertility in the birds, but the birds who where able to hatch their offspring, were witnessed to have diminished maternal and paternal instinct.
The correlation with hormone disrupters in animal observations to what is happening in human society is HUGE! These chemicals such as atrazine can affect the sexual development and natural parental instincts in parts per trillion! Prenatal and developmental exposure diminishes the will and the drive to reproduce and form healthy sexual relations. Transgenerational hormonal birth control is also causing havoc on these delicate hormonal feedback systems. There was a study that showed that the Male chimps would avoid the females that have been treated with hormonal birth control. Birth control also disrupts the females judgement to chose mates of paternal virtue potential. The myriad of chemicals in the environment and constant use of personal care products have also distorted our pheromonal feedback systems, which evolved to guide the process of sexual attraction and the seeking of compatible mates. With all these confused and distorted signaling contamination, its no wonder so many humans are confused, Jaded, and hostile toward those who claim mating and reproduction can be a true blessing and healthy part of life!
This is not a man vs woman issue....these distortions have equally damaged both genders' ability to develop healthy matting pairs and nurture uninhibited parental instincts!
