Snotty noses and horrible drool, who would actually want a baby?

I think Caitlin Moran makes her point in the chapter of her book very clear very quickly: if women don't want children, then leave them the hell alone. Not everyone wants a baby, some people are absolutely repulsed by the idea of changing diarrhea filled diapers or having their own breast milk thrown back up onto their faces. Yeah, we don't talk about the dark days of raising a baby. Fun fact, when I was a wee little one, I puked directly into my mother's mouth after she had fed me, and if that were me as a mother? I would probably quit life and leave planet Earth because gross. However, Moran does employ some evidence to back up her point of view. She has had her own experiences, such as interviewing others in the field of journalism, evidence being her editor asking her to call and ask if the person she had interviewed wanted children or not, as though that was all that mattered in that moment, as well as being asked the question herself several times throughout her life. Her argument is very clear when she states "If you take a moment to consider that state of the world, the thing you notice is that there are plenty of babies being born; the planet really doesn't need all of us to produce more babies," and "We need more women who are allowed to prove their worth as people, rather than  being assessed merely for their potential to create new people." Moran makes incredibly accurate points in the chapter of her book and shows that every woman should have the choice on whether or not they want children and not be judged by society for their decision. Too many women have children just to have them, not because they actually want to have kids, and those kids are often not properly cared for since their mothers didn't really want kids to begin with. Society puts too much pressure on women to have kids and it's incredibly unfair to the woman who just wants to be successful and to the children born to those mothers who didn't really want them to begin with.
