Could not having children really be a flex? Maybe I'm beginning to think like an African woman. I feel there comes a stage when you genuinely long for it. Forget all the social media façade. After all the “She's 40 and has no baby” displays, reality may dawn on her once she logs out. I'm not saying children are everything, but some people may be masking their struggles on social media. In Africa, we place great importance on a woman's ability to have children. It's our culture and the reality of our society. Even when a woman cannot have biological children, we try to comfort her, reminding her that she has nieces and nephews so she doesn't feel alone. Not having children may be seen as a flex in other societies, but for us Africans, I honestly have my doubts. 🤔
