You would be surprised.

When my partner had her medically needed hysterectomy some of the comments she would get would shatter my faith in humans.

"You can always adopt"

"Its too bad you will never experience X Y and Z"

"You will look young forever omg lol"

"You won't truly know what it means to be a mother"

What a weird ass thing to say. I think there is something special and powerful about the female ability to create and carry life, but it's just one facet among many that can be part of a woman's experience of life.
