Question about ending *Possible Spoiler*


Was that a real birth or did they simulate that? I know most of the sex was real, but I'm unsure of the birth. It looked real.

well of course it was a real birth. it probably didn't come from the heroine's womb.

I REALLY did not need to see that - ugh.

And if that wasn't bad enough, she says in the narrative that 'a woman isn't a woman until she becomes a mother'.

Well excuse me, I am totally a woman, I do not need kids to verify that. And what about unfortunate women who are physically incapable of getting pregnant? Does that make them not women?

'Offensive' is not the word.

Gimme a break!!!

How would you know how much more of a woman you feel after giving birth, having never had a child yourself.
Take if from someone who has and trust me when I say. You do feel more of a woman when you have gone through giving birth and created a life.
If this wasn't true then women who can't have children wouldn't be as devastated that they can't conceive.
It doesn't mean they are not women. But it does mean there is a hole, a feeling of some part of themselves missing.
This is not offensive. It's a painful fact of life.
