I hate being a woman and how people treat me bc of it.

I’m a 22 year old female entrepreneur. I own two businesses, I’m financially stable, I have no debts, and I work very hard for everything I have and I still get asked when I’m gonna have kids. I just applied for a new business loan and I was asked if I was thinking of having kids bc men don’t wanna give loans to women thinking we’re gonna quit our jobs for kids. I’ve been rejected by so many banks bc of it and I’m seriously thinking of changing my last name to something more masculine so I stop being treated like this. <br><br>I’m just a human, not a woman. I don’t understand why my reproductive system is being held against me.<br><br>Anyways, I was at a dinner at a friend’s house and one of her cousins asked me when I’m gonna have kids. I said I’m not and he said “so you just live a life void of purpose then? I guess that’s just a woman’s life” and I’m just done. I’m done being judged for being a woman.<br><br>I love my gender, I love being a girl and dressing up and having long hair. But I absolutely hate the sexism and the idea that I’m nothing without childbearing. I’m not just a uterus.<br><br>I’m just frustrated and I thought this would be a good place to express it. I’m sorry if I wasted your time.
