We are neither villains nor victims. Women do not deserve to be treated with disdain or pity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA childfree woman describes in an honest, strong and very personal way the thoughts and feelings associated with not having the desire to have children in the world where motherhood is seen as the most natural part of being a woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"What I know for sure is that this topic is not just an issue between the world and me. The weight of expectations and performance anxiety are the faithful companions of motherhood, while our childfree lifestyle evokes myths and prejudices about us as either bad feminists or selfish, shallow and self-absorbed people. However, the rules do not apply to us, because the reasons for remaining childfree are as varied as they are personal. What we really have in common is dealing with the emotions that we experience when other people don't understand that femininity and motherhood are two separate concepts, and they do not necessarily go together\", says Karin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer memoir is written for those of you who do not have children, but sometimes still feel different, alone and outside when dealing with societal expectations, myths and prejudices related to the cultural norm that every woman should want to be a mother. You may also occasionally fear being lonely or regretting not having children later on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKarin has always known that she does not want to have children. You will be able to recognize yourself in her portrait and common experiences, and the real stories will help you to deal with social situations where you do not feel as comfortable as you would like about your childfree lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow to be a woman having no kids? This manifesto provides insight into meetings and discussions with other childfree women telling the truth about the facts of life as a not mom. Through her own experiences and thoughtful consideration, the author describes a path to separate motherhood from your female identity, and understanding that your life is not about what you are, but who you are.\u003cbr\u003eKarin Rahbek has been a spokeswoman for childfree women, and is the founder of a social network and a dating site for childfree men and women searching for love or new friends.
