A young lady has stirred massive controversy on social media after claiming that women should stop giving birth for men, arguing that childbirth mainly benefits men.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), she urged women to recognise the power they hold over reproduction and consider the impact of collectively refusing childbirth.
She wrote:
“Women need to stop giving birth to children for men. Imagine if 70% of women decided not to give birth for the next 30 years — imagine the state of the world then. They don’t want us to know the power we carry. Having a baby only benefits the men.”
Mixed Reactions Trail the Post
Her statement immediately went viral, drawing both support and criticism from social media users.
One user, @Ratty, commented:
“Childbirth is not a favour to men; it’s the continuation of humanity. The problem isn’t birth — it’s the imbalance of recognition, support, and respect for the ones who give life. The message hits hard, but the real fight isn’t about stopping life; it’s about demanding equal value for creating it.”
Another user, @KaroBlvk, reacted humorously, writing:
“Is she adding the women from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Northern Nigeria, India and other places where feminism doesn’t exist? If not, aunty you won’t be missed. I’ll just go and get myself a beautiful wife in Pakistan — they sell them!”
Personal Experiences Deepen the Conversation
Adding a personal perspective, a user identified as @Pocahontas shared her experience with reproductive healthcare:
“Before I had my children, who I love deeply and am forever grateful for, I never wanted to become a parent. At 18, I went to my OBGYN to request my tubes be tied, but I was denied because I didn’t have children or wasn’t yet 25. I went to multiple doctors and heard the same thing.”
She continued:
“It felt like the system was designed to push women into motherhood, even when they clearly express that they do not want children. I love my children, but I still believe women should have the unquestioned right to make that decision about their own bodies without unnecessary requirements or gatekeeping.”
The viral post has since sparked nationwide conversations about reproductive rights, gender dynamics, and societal expectations surrounding motherhood, reigniting debates on women’s autonomy and the cultural pressures tied to childbirth.
