my partner (male) was extremely jealous of my pregnancy and birth process. i'm sorry that you can't go through it yourself, really and truly. it's pretty fantastic. i'm sorry you're afraid of me owning my power to have children. it's too bad. i'm not trying to talk out of my vagina here, and seriously, i feel the exact same way about having an adopted baby or a puppy. i've raised 7 puppies! i like to parent, nurture and teach living being about their world, and i love watching them experience life. that's just plain beautiful. i hope that any woman gets to have a beautiful experience of her world whether or not it involves having children.
