I know that some women who are adamant about not having kids sooth their maternal urges by raising pets. And some go into nursing.

But how do those who don’t do either handle it? Do they turn to Steinem’s Little Red Book? Pretend they don’t exist?

They make cat ladies look positively well adjusted.

I never had kids and never had to nurse maternal instincts, either.
