"childless woman" is such a 19th-century-ass insult. what else you got. do I render inferior tallow? do my cabbages grow pale and blemished? does the quality of my sock-darning bring shame upon my father's name?
@VeryBadLlama I've had convos w taxi drivers (old guys) who lament that 'young women today can't...' and proceed to solve the world's problems. So I like to toss in that young women today don't know how to lay out a body, in c19 this was normally done at home by the women. It kind of pulls them up short cos even they don't expect 'young women of today' to know that. Even their grandmothers likely didn't know it.
Anyway, you can probably riff on that.
