Hmmm, kinda feels like you're equivocating here. No doubt Sanni is living there life on her terms. Marriage and children aren't a good choice for everyone. Some people just don't want it. Absolutely, that should be respected.

It does not automatically follow that the woman should "inspired" to pursue a different lifestyle, or that her choice was not the right one for her. There's nothing wrong with a traditional life either. Danni's lifestyle may very well have been a poor choice for this other woman. Absolutely that needs to be respected as well.

I get what y'all are saying about the creepy intrusiveness. I'm a single mother by choice, believe me, I've experienced the same phenomenon. Many many times. There's always a lot of pressure on women to be this or that, to do this or that, and EVERYONE tells us ad nauseum infinitum how were doing it all wrong every damn day of our lives. We're all hyper-sensitive to the opinions of others that we have to constantly wade through. It's no different for mothers. It's no different for married women. It's no different married mothers. It's no different for divorced mothers trying to coparent.

No matter how you live your life as a woman, you will face unrelenting judgement and scrutiny constantly that's just all over the place, bizarre, and inappropriate.

It's the same for that other woman . You think she hasn't been raked over the coals for choosing a traditional life? You think single professionals haven't treated her like she's a disappointment to feminity? You think divorced mothers haven't turned their noses up at her for sticking it out with a controlling husband?

Hmmm? Ladies, let's not. We get enough if that bullshit from men and marketing propaganda. Let's not add to it.
