Body politics
“Mother is an epitome of love and sacrifice “
“When you become a mother you become a complete woman”
What do these statements convey?
So if a woman chooses not to have a kid then she is not considered a woman!
Like Raymonds make a complete man, such a gullible statement.
Patriarchy rooted deep into the system and women sadly safeguard them not realising that they are the prey to it.
When a young woman gets married and if she could not conceive, she is treated as an untouchable in the family as well as the society.
She shrinks herself by not participating in social events and starts hating the sight of monthly cycle.
Obviously infertility treatment centres, temples, poojas and homams are her resort. In the name of treatment hormones are pumped into her system leading to array of side effects.
Emotional stress, bloating , mood swings , nausea and so many nameless disasters follow the treatment.
In the name of extending the lineage, she suffers mentally and physically.
Register the truth sadly we are not in dire need of a heir to succeed the throne.
Do not exploit your own body for social validation.
Do not validate phrases like “barren women” throw them in garbage.
Stay happy and search for the soul’s calling and live a purposeful life.
Create your own identity, motherhood is not the only one there are plenty on the platter of life.
Unless you feel you need a child do not undergo this traumatic treatments.
Your body, is your right!
Choose wisely!
Live your life Queen size!
