child freedom meaning someone who hasn't had children
obviously women especially
as it was always accepted that a man might be a bachelor

well I have never felt pressure to be married
only sometime elderly men are shocked about it
but usually people don't comment that I'm not married

but not having children ...
well I've had subtle comments to the effect
that I'm not really living , or that I'm not really feminine

I don't think having children is the only way to feel alive
I don't think it would have made me feel alive in my case
