Society has a truly odd relationship with women who don't have children, doesn't it? The amount of importance we place on people with uteruses to have children, want children, and feel sad about not having them, is such a toxic narrative for everyone involved. I would venture to guess that a lot of people feel that pressure because of the conversation around it is so intense.
Thankfully, Dolly Parton is not like a lot of people, and her speaking so candidly about her lack of grief and sadness around not having children is going to help a lot of people.
