Re: Are you trying?
None of your previous posts indicated that you have serious health issues, since you were enjoying humour in other people’s responses, I thought maybe you won’t mind to humour a real life discussion yourself.
…And that’s precisely my point, people are not mind readers. Fair enough, you don’t want to share your private matters with someone but at the same time doesn’t mean anyone who asks you this questions must be demonised. I’m sure even you’d agree that often these questions have no intention to hurt anyone’s feelings, they’re often foolishly asked out of habit or out of perceived good will or whatever. You can only hope for sensitive reception when there’s actually general awareness regarding fertility treatment and the emotional burden that comes with it, be it ‘desi’ culture or the Western culture in general, there’s so much ignorance about fertility treatment that sometimes you can give enough silent answers to make people understand. But if a woman feels so strongly about this, the onus is on her to correct the wrong that directly effects her, instead of just venting frustration in private diary entries. You’d be surprised how many women going through difficult fertility treatment get sick of keeping everything bottled up, they actually end up hating the wall they had built around themselves.
Its a like vicious cycle, women don’t want to talk about it yet hold this full entitlement for sensitive treatment but the society won’t offer any support because they have no idea what exactly is going on with her. I mean men won’t be writing or talking about such issues and fighting women’s case. Its *women *(regardless race, religion or language) that literally have to represent the change they want to see in the system. It may sound like a passage straight out of a textbook but it is true, pseudo-feminism is self destructive and hasn’t achieve or won’t achieve anything to improve women’s lives.
