Well I'll take it as personal for once. I managed to bear children but with help bc of infertility. This person is saying I'm not woman enough and that's no different from what patriarchy already does to women for thousands of years now. There. I said it
Understand the harm you're doing with this narrative. As a prepubescent gilr, I was not girl enough bc I didn't grow large breasts. I'm flat chested. As a teen girl, I wasn't female enough bc I don't have curves. As a young woman I wasn't woman enough bc "I wasn't going to bear
Children bc I don't have hips wide enough". As a teen I was constantly mistaken for a boy and when a man tried to beat me up for not looking "female enough" I had to always try to add something "feminine" to escape being beaten for that. Ppl around me said I wasn't female enough
