14. Childless Monsters
Manage episode 235078026 series 2511674
In books, television, and movies, we are often shown an image of motherhood as superheroic or even saintly. Women who can’t or won’t have children, however, are routinely shown as somehow lacking or damaged, and particularly of seeing themselves this way. Why is this still the primary narrative in 2019, and what are the ways we can shift it?
Tropes Referenced/Discussed:
Not Wanting Kids is Weird
Babies Make Everything Better
Mandatory Motherhood
PANEL:
Erin McGrath
Elise Sacchetti
Valerie Sacchetti
Phoebe Sinclair
