Isn't a Woman's Purpose In Life to Bear Children?

Question

And naturally, raise said children into happy, self-actualized adults?

Please don't just answer yes or no. Supply details and discuss.

Thanks.

Answer 1

A woman's "purpose in life" is whatever she wants it to be. Some want to have careers, and as such have made great contributions to business, science, charities, etc. If they never have children, that doesn't make them any less valuable. Some do make their "purpose" to have and raise children, and if that's what they want to do, that's great too -- they also make great contributions to society. Some do both -- that's very, very tough, and those who do it well get nothing but admiration from me. The point is: it's not up to you or me to decide what someone's "purpose" is, that's their own decision -- whether they're male OR female.

Personally I think if a couple decides to have children, it's the "purpose" of BOTH parents to devote the bulk of their time and energy to raising those kids. No more the mother's responsibility than the father's. That the mother has to carry them for 9+ months is just biology -- what happens after that is what's important.

Answer 2

NO WAY! I'm a male and I would love nothing more than to have my wife earn enough so I could stay home and tend to the house and kids! Why should women have all the fun? :)

Seriously, maybe 30+ years ago this idea had merit and I'm sure there are still women that like to stay at home and raise the kids, but there ARE guys out there that wouldn't mind taking a shot. It's certainly not an easy job.

I think forcing a person (male or female) into a specific role is horrible. If the woman wants to go out and be a big shot corporate lawyer and the guy wants to stay home and raise the kids MORE POWER TO 'EM! Heck, if they both want to work and not have kids that's fine too.

Answer 3

It can be a woman's purpose; but does not HAVE to be a woman's purpose.

Traditional roles would place women as a domestic raiser of children and keeper of the household.

More modern roles include careers as well as child bearing and imply that fatherhood should assume some of the duties associated with housekeeping and child rearing.

I think it depends mostly on what you want and what you feel is important. Don't pigeonhole yourself based on any body's preconceived notion of what your purpose is.

Nowadays you can have as much or as little of any aspect of your domestic and/or professional roles as you like. You can have a career and raise children into happy self-actualized adults or do either one or the other.

Decide for yourself and act on it.

Last I heard it takes 2 people to make a child, wouldnt it be both man and womans purpose. If you look at anything alive on this planet, all these things try to do is survive, survive by multiplying and hoping there are enough numbers to keep the race alive. Humans are no different than cockroaches and viruses in this sense. I would say yes it is most likely we were given reproductive organs to have children and continue our existence just like any other life in this universe. I would like to think that this is not our only purpose though. If this were our only purpose we really wouldnt be any different than the roaches and viruses would we?

Answer 5

I think a person's purpose is to raise themselves into happy, self-actualized adults. That done, children can be considered. And considering the state of the world today, one might think about adopting an already existing child rather than bring more into the world.

Answer 7

No! Everyone has a different "purpose", and it is up to you to find yours.

I never wanted kids and I don't regret it. I have travelled the world and lived my life as I want, and I have a great and happy life because of it. I, personally, could not have experienced all that I have if I had a kid.

My husband has 3 kids from a previous marriage and that is very fulfilling for him, but he understands and accepts the choice I made and is very respectful of it.

Raising kids is the job of BOTH parents, not just Moms.

Answer 8

A woman has many purposes in life. If childbearing were her only purpose, every woman would die at menopause.

Many women are not biologically able to bear children. They don't all die off either.

What a frightening reality it is that a woman asked this question...I truly hope that you will allow yourself to open your mind and see all the things that are available to you and to other women, to make your lives meaningful, besides bearing and raising children. The knowledge and understanding shared by older women is as biologically necessary to the human race as ovulation and lactation.

Answer 9

That may have been the original purpose.....but the world has changed drastically......and not every woman sees that as her purpose..........Some women may not want children of their own, but work hard daily to make sure that children are cared for each day.....this could be a nurse, doctor, teacher etc. I personally have a child and I don't mind that being my purpose.....but I have no arguments with anyone that sees it different......

Answer 10

bringing up and severe case would not bolster the anti-selection argument. of course this individual has some serious matters. Given how no longer likely that's that folk are honestly attempting to have 15 abortions, i'm uncertain Vilar has lots bearing on the debate. She is not greater correct than the loopy Octomom who produced greater effective than a dozen babies by way of IVF in spite of being almost indigent. some people are unhinged - i do no longer think of that would desire to rigidity public coverage. i do no longer think of many people honestly have faith the spectacular wing myths approximately abortion.
