I would really love to read more essays and op/eds from women (and men, too) who regret having children as early as they did, regret having as many as they did, or regret having children at all. There's not much about motherhood that remains publicly unexplored, but that does.

Well the total meltdown in response to “it would be good to talk more about a real but extremely taboo part of adult life” pretty well illustrates why virtually no one talks about it. But it is wild to see such insane reactions to “hey maybe we should talk about this.”

“Women should stay silent about their complicated experiences” is certainly a view, but probably not one too should expect a feminist writer to have.
