Jen Kirkman Quote
Invalidating a woman’s life choices by saying things like, Oh, but you’ll regret it if you don’t have kids, or, I didn’t think I wanted kids either until I had one, is like me going to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and telling the newly sober that eventually when they grow old, they’ll want to take the edge off with a little gin and tonic and that if they could only just be mature enough to control themselves, they could go on a fun wine-tasting tour in the Napa Valley.
