I  know three women in my working-class neighborhood who don’t have children – and never will have children. It’s a choice they made for themselves.They’re very proud of it.

The thing is: No one ever brings the subject up. No one mentions it. No one hassles them. They themselves are the ones who always bring the subject up.

I find it really difficult to believe the 67-year-old actress Helen Mirren when she says people – especially men – often asked her about her childlessness, especially as she traveled in very liberal circles. Even down here in working-class land no one hassles childless women. Most likely, Mirren is the one who made her childlessness the focus of conversation, just like the three childless women I know.

People with agendas are like that. Mirren talks as if she would have us believe it’s 1950 again, and there’s a lot of “pressure” on her to have children. Well, it’s not 1950 anymore, and NO ONE put any pressure on her whatsoever.

I always get a kick out of how certain people who do whatever they want, whenever they want, have everything they want, start talking as if they’re somehow victims. How brave of Mirren to go up against all the “pressure” the Hollywood crowd brought to bear on her. I don’t buy one word she says.

Without children or victim-hood she has nothing at all.
