Friend invited me for a cuppa with herself and some of her friends. MY friend and myself are childless. Neither of us were able to have children. I didn't know the other women there, so they had no idea whether I had children or not, but I can only assume that they assumed I did. My friend left the room and they began talking about how she was "barren", not a fully fledged woman and her cats are child substitutes. Okay, she is a bit nuts about them! Do women truly look at other childless women that way? I am a bit teary here, because for some reason, it hit me hard. Not sure why. I've known since my teens that there wouldn't be any kids. The cruelty I heard was nauseating. I feel incredibly angry for my friend- these women were in her home accepting her hospitality. I don't know if I should have said anything. I just sat there and didn't join in as I didn't feel like sharing my situation with these jackals.
