After saying she doesn't want to be a mother, Holly Brockwell received wave after wave of insults and abuse by the online community.
This article really spoke to me on a personal level because I share the same beliefs that Holly does. She says that there's nothing appealing about creating another human to her. She doesn't feel an emotional connection to the thought of having kids.
Of course the ability to create life is powerful and amazing, but it's not the only thing about being a woman that is! Women do not exist for the sole purpose of giving birth. It's just something we can do. It's so strange that other people feel as if they know what you want better than you do. Motherhood is a personal thing, yet so many people felt the need to give their opinions on what Holly chose to do.
It's such a common thing to see. As soon as a woman speaks out and has a different path for herself than society does, she's demonized. I'm just glad that Holly was able to stand her ground and that she didn't get hurt.
