1) When I hear someone saying something stupid about me on the basis that I'm NMNK I will speak up and tell them "That's Stupid!" (I'm especially sick of hearing "You never gave birth so you don't know what it is to raise/have a child.")
2) When someone such as a stranger asks me my marital status I will say "unavailable," and offer no further explaination than "Just am." (If you don't have the courage for this try saying unmarried rather than single. You really do not owe strangers personal information anyway.)
3) When someone such as a stupid stranger asks (usually because they just learned I'm NMNK) "Have you ever been in love?" I'll say "Am I a human being?"
4) When someone suggests that I'm childless because I "ran out of time," I'll say, "NO actually not having children was my PLAN!)
5) When someone tries to introduce me to someone else for the purposes of matchmaking I will no longer agree just because I like this middle-person. I will ask "What makes you think this person and me are compatible?" and "Let me think about it."
6) When I meet someone who has a woe is me attitude simply because they have not married or had children (yet) I will suggest to them that they read this blog!
