Something I've seen pop up a couple of times over the years with different people, but why is it such a big deal for some people to accept that some female characters DON'T have to have an interest in having kids? O.O not everyone is cut out to be a mother and the whole stereotype that every woman should immediately desire to have offspring is kind of sucky.

Can't count the times I've made characters who REALLY didn't want/shouldn't have babies, have them, because the person I was writing with insisted upon pairing everyone up and having them all produce offspring. People can be in a happy relationship and never entertain the thought of children and be just as happy as people with kids.
