  • Man. I’m a single mom. It be like that sometimes.

    Not the whole “you need a man around”-thing. It’s a single-parent thing. It’s hard as fuck to do all the work yourself and not have someone to help out when you may be at your limit.

    Not to mention single-parent households deal more with poverty, housing insecurity, poor mental health, overworking, etc.

    I watched it happen to a lot of my friends growing up. It’s fucking rough.

    It’s not every case, but it can be a lot.








  • Even if some women use it to avoid the excruciating pain of vaginal birth, that’s still a very very very valid reason.

    The only “convenience” I’ll assume you’re talking about is for the doctor. I was told my only options for birth was a C-section or induced labor, because the doctor “didnt like surprises.” I’m still upset that I did not know how to advocate for myself as a young adult because I was forced into an induction and several other unexpected medical nightmares due to hospital/staff/doctor negligence.
