Actually a lot of Hollywood stars are saying that! Eg; Angelina Jolie after adopting Maddox, Katie Holmes after giving birth to Suri,Tori Spelling too, I guess!

We as females have been conditioned to think that our life cycle as women is not complete, until we have a child, because you change your focus, and your priorities, it is no longer all about you. It is about a part of you, 'your' dna,that you carried for 9 very very long months, this tiny precious life is you, an extention of you, and totally dependant on you, for everything, for a very, very, verrry long time. and will be forever in your life. You will form their thought processes, their growth, how they learn, how they love, who they love, what they eat, etc, this realization, has been known to make some women feel like a woman or more like a woman. Also there is the knowledge that a man cannot do this. There are hormone changes that also go into play at this time, and this has a mental effect on some women as well. The fact is that as we mature there are many more things that will make us feel more womanly but by different degrees, beginning with your menstral cycle, getting hair in different places, the growth of our breast, the change in the curvature of our bodies, as these changes take effect, and we become more aware of them, we also change mentally, we become in tune to ourselves and many females feel (rightly or wrongly) that childbirth is the culmination of that journey that makes them a woman. I believe that life makes you an adult, and biology make you a female, and the two of these factors make you a woman

What made me a woman? Learning not to be selfish and caring for others . I was considered old at 9 in my experience I learned from example. hollywood is not a good example of positive life styles.

I don't think being a real woman has anything to do with sex. I think it has to do with responsibility. There are plenty of 13 year old girls losing their virginity. Would you consider them women? I don't they are young and immature. Even when I was married and having sex at 20, I was young and immature and had no idea what it really meant to live for someone other than myself. Having a child makes you do that. It's not about you anymore, it's about your child(ren). I think when you are living your life for the good of someone else, you know what it means to be woman.

A "woman" is an adult human. Adulthood can be defined in terms of biology, law, personal character, or social status. These different aspects of adulthood are often inconsistent and contradictory. A person may be biologically an adult, and have adult behavioral characteristics but still be treated as a child if they are under the legal age of majority. Conversely one may legally be an adult but possess none of the maturity and responsibility that define adult character.

Hello, they say that because that's almost every women's dream to become a Mother some day. When you lose your virginity that just makes you "not a virgin" and when you reach puberty that's just adolescence.

I can see where they are coming from, I had my twins at 28yrs old and before that I consider myself a young woman, but when I had my babies I changed alot, and you see things differently. Now, I'm a grown woman with 2 responsibilities..

I've never heard of this, but as a new mother myself, what I can say is that motherhood may not "make you a woman", but it certainly leaves you feeling "complete" unlike anything in the world.

I've never heard it- but I'm assuming that they didn't grow up till they had their child and assumed the responsibility that accompanies. I don't think it means you can't be a woman without a child, just for some people it takes something life changing like a child to mature

Being a real woman doesn't have any thing to with you having sex. its all about going true puberty and taking more care of your self . But for me i am now pregnant with my first child and i now know for sure i am a woman and have alot of responsibilities to face. so i have to say i think my frist child is going to make me a woman. I am 19 pretty young but i am becoming a woman.

i have been hearing that a lot too and for a moment i questioned my 'womanhood' because i do not want any children. but having kids is not what makes you a woman. it does not make you less of a woman if you do not have children. woman plays many roles in society not just mother.
