That doesn’t make her not ok. If you’re a girl, you’re constantly hounded of when you will be having children and there is immense pressure of getting married. If you don’t, you’re deemed a failure or wronged. Other woman are bad at too, constantly putting down other woman just because they didn’t pop a kid out of their vagina.

That’s probably why she did this.

The mental unease she is surely feeling (enough to feel the need to convince herself in this way) is primarily biological, not societal, in its origin. Nature programmed in the need to have kids into women, like it programmed the need to fuck into guys - you get depressed and misaligned if you dont. And shes realising that shes starting to cut it real close.

This is the dumbest thing I heard. I’m a woman, and I don’t want kids either, and nope. I’m definitely not depressed without having them either. Bunch of rubbish. Does that mean Jennifer Aniston is depressed and mentally unhinged then? She’s living her life, multi-millionaire, and enjoying her vacation life with no hassles. I’m sorry but this is just some weird shit some of you are weirdly obsessed with. If a woman doesn’t want to have kids, or marriage (I actually bet a lot, don’t mind the marriage part). Then pick another who does. Stop giving a fuck it should not matter whether someone decides to have kids or not. Not everyone sees themselves living in the same household the rest of their lives when they can be travelling and doing more in their short span of time. Society has carved that the only way of life is to have children. Nothing more. Not true.

Btw the “biological clock” isn’t an actual real thing. It became a thing because some columnist wrote a bunch of horse shit when woman were doing well themselves, having their own careers and the baby rate was dropping. Since after the war everything was changing. It was a way for social pressure to give woman crisis, and to promote having babies so woman don’t do their own thing. It isn’t a thing where woman are thinking the need to desperately get pregnant like you assume. It’s bullshit.

Just like how a cereal company convinced millions of people to chop off a piece of their baby boys dick.

Tbh this is exactly how I would expect a woman in your situation to react. Misaligned. Nothing against ya, but if it were rubbish, you wouldnt write an essay like this. If it was untrue, would you react emotionally to it or just laugh at it? Its more like youre trying to convince yourself. Much of the "thinking the need to get pregnant" is subconscious btw, perhaps I should have made that more clear. Almost everyone has very little understanding of their own minds in the end, myself included. Humanity is strange, huh? Anyways, all the best.
