Snow Blight

Bristle while you work

Fun fact: if you would make a good mother, you must become one. Not interested? Doesn’t matter!

Seriously though, I’ve never quite understood this reaction when a woman says she’s not planning to have children. Why does it matter if you think someone would make a “good” mother, whatever that means? I’m good at all sorts of things that I don’t intend to devote my life to… and no one suggests that I should.

Maybe Snow White hated taking care of those ungrateful little men and decided that parenting wasn’t for her. Maybe she’s still trying to decide if she should really spend her life with some rando prince that kissed her while she was sleeping. Maybe she’s just really focused on overcoming her (justified) fear of apples. Let her live, man.
