Wondering your opinion on this recently presented item?

Question

Hi Seniors!

What is your opinion...Someone told me that to be considered a Woman, you had to have bore a child. Then rudely added I would never be considered a Woman. Looking for opinions. thanks to all

Answer 1

Pagan , that's just down right crazy ! i really think that person has a few screws loose , lol

you are a woman from the time you were born female .

take care my friend . d.

Answer 2

If you know you are a woman then why do you care what some butt head has to say.

Answer 3

You were born a woman, and that settles that!

Answer 4

Not only can you be a woman, you can be a mother without giving birth.  Some of the best "moms" I know are good women who are kind and loving to others. No one would dare say that you can't be a man without impregnating someone.  The person who said this to you proved only one thing:  A person can be an idiot just by opening their mouth.

Answer 5

I was always taught that you became a woman as soon as you had your first visit from mother nature. If in what you were told was the truth, what are the females called then that are of child bearing age and over. I know a few women out there that have never given birth to a child, but married some one that had children and the children call them mom. And yes the one that told you that was indeed being very rude.

Answer 6

Pagan dear do not explode, it is painful! Don't let 'little' people get to you. Their opinion of you or anyone else is NOT important. Move on. Any survey of what makes a woman (?) does not or should not include having a baby. Nature did intend us to have babies but not ALL of us can or even want to. Hubby has other ideas of what makes a woman but having a baby is not one of them. I trust hubby's opinion. Get over it dear, this person just wants a reaction from you. Don't give him one.

Answer 7

i don't know the circumstances, but whoever said this sounds like an opinionated fool.  

Answer 8

That has to be one of the dumbest (and sexest) things I've ever heard. I teach and I had a 6th grade student who bore a child in one of my classes. Does that make her a woman...uhm, no I don't think so!

And what about those who can't or choose not to have children, do they never become women?

Answer 9

Not only is that a rude statement whoever said that to you, but they sound ignorant. Of course you are a woman. I never had a child and I am a woman for sure. My friends use to tell me that I was "selfish" for not having a child. Selfish?? I think it's much more selfish to have a child just for the sake of having a child because everyone wants you to. Don't let it get to you and have a wonderful holiday weekend.

Answer 10

Sounds like you were talking with a bigoted, sexist, radical.

Forget him.  He's not worth bothering with.

Answer 11

My opinion, that's about as stupid as the statement that female animals are "just not right in the head" unless they are bred.

You're a woman.

Answer 12

If this is true, then what does it say about being considered a man?  Perhaps never having fathered a child means that a man is not a man.  Faulty logic on both ideas.  What idiocy!

Answer 13

I'm guessing that dreaded ,

might have a hand in this?

Keep em guessin & let em' wonder.

They swear I must be a man one week, then the next they are DEMANDING all sorts of silly things.  Someone obviously has a gender identification ISSUE going on.  

It's too bad the mind can't be placed on a sale rack & returned for it's original price!  It's a gift that many of us are just stuck with.  Consider the source & say thanks to the powers that be that it aint YOU who is talking all that foolishness to someone else, ok?  Can you try to put yourself in their shoes?  I have wide feet, so I often stay & wait to find a good fit & regret it.  

Hang in there.  Tomorrow is a new day!

Answer 14

Consider the source and don't let it get to you. You were born female, a little girl always grows up to be a woman..married or not, children or not you are still a woman, starting about the age of 12 or so..And yes that person was rude, sounds like she/he wanted to get your goat..and they did. Forget it..

Answer 15

Not knowing all the talk it's hard to state an opinion.  But, from what you say some one sure needs to be put into an attitude    adjustment. I'm sorry, erase that please.  I don't advocate violence.  Just take what they say with a grain of salt and IGNORE them.  Some people want to act so big and important.  I bet you're worth more than their little finger.So don't allow it to bother you.  You must be very young, but you seem to have made friends on here.  Stick with us honey and don't fret the losers.You're in touch with the best here.  HA HA HA
