Even though I'm child-free and will be for life, I actually had a shit-load of baby dolls, including Baby Alive. I wasn't accepted in elementary school and tried just about anything to fit in. Society really does brainwash young girls into thinking that they HAVE to become mommies when they grow up or there is something wrong with them if they don't have that desire.
Luckily, I found the courage to say "Fuck it all!" and make some TRUE friends in the process. I'd rather have a few great friends by being my cynical, bitchy self versus having many shallow friends by compromising my beliefs just to fit in.
