  • Summary

  • Tubes & tantrums. Safiyyah (27) and Katya (53) don’t want kids, and they’ve made sure of it.

    We talked about how a Reddit thread lead to Safiyyah getting her tubes removed at 25. We talked about Katya getting a hysterectomy at 30. They’ve both been living their best lives ever since.

    We talked about how some mums don’t look like they're having fun, familial, societal and gendered pressure especially as Black and Latina women, children being seen as an accomplishment, and remixing what a family looks like. Also, how choices are structural and political.

    Also, heteronormativity and capitalism and dating and dying alone and not hating kids.

    Enjoy and welcome to season 4!! Sending you love!
