Haven't read this yet but saw your comment on the sidebar- just wanted to mention that from what you said, it's actually pretty common in reality, too. Some women in many different cultures get basically ostracized if they don't have children by the time their 30 (and many of those, even earlier). A lot of women are also refused services like hysterectomies by doctors unless they meet certain requirements- usually after reaching a certain age, and even then only if they've previously had children. Some of these women may even have health conditions where they're unable to carry to term, whether it's cost of the baby's life or their own, and they're still refused because "what if you want kids later?" A lot of women face abuse by both family and strangers alone with demands that they have children because "what else is a woman good for?" A lot of these women can say, I'm a Surgeon and make hundreds of thousands a year, but then their mother in law will turn around and say, what good is that if you don't have a kid?
It's systematically ingrained into society, women are 1st - birthing machines, 2nd - family care takers.
Difficult to find a society that doesn't do this.
omg i fucking agree
I don't really get people in manhwa's like these, like after all Chloe's recent activities like she caught a criminal and found a fckin cure and yet people still judge her for not having children!? What kind of fuckery is this? So let me get this straight, just because Chloe isnt pregnant yet there all gonna belittle her and ignorE the achievements she made!? What!? That's pure BS! And besides Alphonse isn't even looking for a child yet! I mean he's just happy with Chloe, and if he did wanted a child I know damn well he would have told chloe about it also. And also i feel like he's one of those husband who would get jealous xD (ノ≧∇≦)ノ
