Seeing women who are divesting away from men is amazing to me. Choosing to co-parent with other women, choosing to not have kids, prioritizing community and platonic relationships with other women. There’s so many ways to live. You don’t have to have a nuclear family.

I love seeing people live the way they want to live. To move away from whatever is considered normative.

I also love seeing more people do community living. Friend groups moving in together and creating care networks. Group parenting. And so much more.

I also do not like the term “alternative “cause it just repackages normativity. I don’t say alternative living i just ask “how do you want to live?”

I like to give people space to think creatively and find all the possibilities for themselves.

I also don’t say new ways of living either because these things aren’t new.

To be clear i was talking about cishet women.

I think a lot about the idea of adopting solo. I think about never having kids and just living with other women-working, organizing, taking trips, etc. i think about how polyam women can struture their lives/families differently.
