"What If Motherhood Isn’t Transformative At All?" [2024], The Cut (https://www.thecut.com/article/excerpt-what-are-children-for-anastasia-berg.html).
Any realistic account of physical hazards of giving birth & the #courage it takes to face them is antithetical to a cultural story of women as the ‘weaker sex’. No wonder these aspects of #childbearing are unspoken & most of us remain in ignorance of their consequences. Far better to see childbirth as ‘instinctive’ & ‘natural’, & women who fail in performing this ideal as individually defective.
Whose interests are served here?

In today's #OfficeforNationalStatistics National #Population Projections, UK #childbearing rates are projected to remain well below replacement level.
A new #ESRC-funded paper published today by CPC-CG members reviews how changing #partnership dynamics are impacting #fertility rates: https://www.demographic-research.org/articles/volume/52/7/
"This paper examines the evolving inter-relationships between partnership dynamics and fertility across European countries and the United States and puts forward an analytical strategy to systematise these relationships." #childbearing #family_complexity https://www.demographic-research.org/articles/volume/52/7/
I've pretty much picked out a fertility clinic to start with. Baby Nemesis won't be on the way anytime soon, but I can take the first step of a consultation now, so...why wait?

I've heard people say #Trump or #Biden makes no difference... for #white #men perhaps. On the other hand, Trump 2.0 will rain down hell on #immigrants, particularly #Muslims and #Latinos. Trump brags about #MassDeportations. Remember the #ICE raids? Many more #POC will be swept up in the next one. It's already hell for #women of #childbearing years in half the states. Trump 2.0 will make it nationwide. You already see what is happening to #lgbtq people in red states. Trump 2.0 will take #lgbtq persecution nationwide.
In addition to #StateViolence, #authoritarians establish a #PermissionStructure of #violence against disfavored groups. During the last Trump administration, #MassShootings of minorities and synagogues was rampant. I'm voting for #Biden2024 not because I'm a fan, but because I am thinking of all the people Trump will hurt in the US. #Voting one's #conscience in the #2024Election is a choice between a soiled conscience or a dead one.
NEXT WEEK - #CPCCGWebinar on Thurs 9 May
Monika Mynarska, of Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University, will be discussing the role of ambivalence and #psychological factors in #childbearing motivations, which might lead to weak childbearing desires or uncertain intentions.

NEW CPC-CG Working Paper on #fertility intentions across England, Wales & Scotland, by Ann Berrington, Bernice Kuang, Sarah Christison and Hill Kulu.
Examines the different #childbearing trends across the three countries, and uses #surveydata to establish whether intended #family size choices contribute to the differences.

One drawback to delaying parenthood nobody talks about: 1% of women and 3% of men who are age 15 don't live to the age of 35. IOW, putting off family from your teens to your thirties means a 1 in 50 chance of dropping dead before you have any kids. Makes you think, doesn't it?
Painting is Eugène Carrière's "Her Mother's Kiss".
Few things stimulate thoughts of "what if the past was different" and "what can I do for my future" than attaining the same age your parents were when they had you, with no beloved or child in sight. That's me this year.
