If I woman can not have a baby, does that make her less of a woman?

Answer 1

Only if she is missing those parts, I would guess 2-3 pounds less.

Answer 2

My grandmother used to say that my dog would be a better b*tch if she threw some pups.

People are NOT dogs. The same does not apply. There is no such thing as being a "half of a woman". You are already a whole woman. I have also not been able to conceive. My husband and I have tried for almost 4 years and have been through fertility treatments. While it is heartbreaking, especially seeing my friends and coworkers have babies, it is does not make me less of a woman. I am the same person as before. Now, I just find other outlets for my mothering feelings.

Answer 3

You are a woman even if you cant have a baby there are a lot of children that need mothers, That have just been tossed aside in this world And I believe god put some woman here to feel that position for those children. So No it does not make you any less of a woman

Answer 4

No. A woman is a complete person with a mind, body and spirit. Not having a baby nowadays is not fundamental since the world has already plenty of people. On the opposite, if she is married she can enjoy her body without getting pregnant meaning she still can make love without worries. This issue is only important if it is important for her to have babies. So the answer is she is not less of a woman if she can not have babies. She is always a woman.

Answer 5

It doesn't but that hasn't stopped people from saying this.
Having never been able to conceive because of some structural damage I have been insulted when anyone has ever said this to me. I had some surgery to try and fix the situation but nothing came of it. I may try IVF but the odds are slim.
In fact this is an extremely hurtful thing to say to someone who is in this situation. People often say that you don't know true joy until you have children. I think that is a little mean to say too.
I think this applies to women who became women by choice too.
Being a woman is something that you feel inside.

Answer 6

not ..not at all....
but this woman would need to tell some one she was getting close too, way before it got serious just in case the other wanted to have children...

and as I would say..the woman who can not have children and does not have children may end up with all her marbles, because some woman who have children lose some of their marbles raising the children.
so just maybe that is an advantage..

and again to it does not make her any less of a woman!

smile
good luck..

Answer 7

Is a man any less of a man if he would be infertile?
Same question and I think the answer would definitely be a NO.
Same goes for a woman. One does not need to reproduce in order to be considered a complete person, whether male or female.

Answer 8

Perhaps it was considered true when women were viewed only as breeders.

At one time it was considered a man wasn't really a man unless he served in the military.

Since I'm surgically broken plus a wee bit menopausal, and I served three years in the Army, does that make me more of a man than Bill Clinton?

Answer 9

No, but it might be something to bring up if a women knows this for a fact and is getting serious with someone who wants babies. If they are down with adopting or fostering it would be no problem else it might lead to heartbreak. There are a bunch of kids that desperatly need a good home.

Answer 10

Absolutely not. The same goes for a man who cannot have children. Problems with infertility are nothing to be ashamed of. If you want children and have been through all of the infertility treatments, please consider adopting. There are many children who need a loving home.
