Reply to comment by WriterWri in Not one of our ancestors was single or had the urge to love childless. by [deleted]

How so?

Their mother was pregnant with them, their grandmother was pregnant with their mother, their great grandmother was pregnant with their grandmother and the line goes back to the beginning of life?

Every single woman in an ancestry doesn't have to give birth to be part of it. Your great-grandmother's aunt is still your ancestor if she never had a child.

You're trying to make a point using the wrong words. It sort of undermines your effort.

Lineage is more what you're talking about.

But I assume this is some anti-woman rant about their "duty" to have kids or some other nonsense.

And more to the OP point:

You say none had the URGE to live childless. There is no way on earth you know that. And it is a judgemental statement to make that you can't possibly prove

I've corrected it to hopefully be more accurate and not offensive.

Yes that is what I meant.

I did indeed use the wrong terminology, Sorry.
