Dolly Parton says she doesn’t regret not having children:

“I haven’t missed it like I thought I might. When you’re a young couple, you think you’re going to have kids, but it just wasn’t one of those burning things for me. I had my career and my music and I was travelling. If I’d had kids, I’d have stayed home with them, I’m sure, and worried myself to death about them. With everything that’s going on, I’d hate to be bringing a child into this world right now.”

Interesting article from a scholar whose work links the representation of flowers in the late 19th century to representations of the female body & especially of #childfree and #childless women

[University of Southampton News @UoSMedia]

Being child-free has been deemed ‘selfish’ for decades – our lecturer Aude Campmas from @ModernLangs explains the history of this misconception in our latest @ConversationUK article 👇👇

Dorothy Hoffner, who tried skydiving for the first time at the age of 100 and gained international attention for it, recently passed away.

Check out our new project #Birthgap Facts!
We expose the fallacy of the 2021 film "Birthgap – Childless World" and its scapegoating of #childless people, and its baseless fearmongering around an imagined #population collapse due to declining #fertility https://t.co/Nn83mBDnuM

Barbie: a #childfree icon? With all the buzz around @barbiethemovie, check out this article which explores how the creator of #Barbie intended her to be a representation of womanhood that isn't focused on marriage or children ⤵️

Today I was told that maybe I'd understand the world more if I was actually a mother.

Motherhood may be an incredible thing, but please can we stop making it the only female life experience that has value?

[Emma Duval @MillennialEmma]

@RoseDiell There's also a pattern of women in politics being attacked by other candidates/politicians for not having children, here's a 2017 article highlighting just a few recent examples

@RoseDiell I'll add this one in which a GOP candidate claims that you can't be invested in the country's future if you don't have children (oh, and he also claims that the US is run by "a bunch of childless cat ladies") #childfree #childless #pronatalism
