On Instagram, the Destiny's Child singer recently had an argument with an internet user. The reason ? The latter advised him to "have children".
Having children is not a requirement to be a woman, and it is quite possible to be fulfilled without being a mother. Unfortunately, this is something that has not yet been integrated into everyone's brain (yet it's 2021) … and stars often pay the price on social media. Like other famous women before her, Michelle Williams recently received an inappropriate comment from a surfer about motherhood. At 40, the former Destiny Child’s has no children. A life that suits him very well, but which obviously poses a problem for some people.
Commenting on an Instagram post where she announced the release of her book "Checking In", one internet user wrote: "Michelle, I love you, but you should be having kids… you look like you're bored." An inappropriate message and above all, an unsolicited notice about his private life that did not go unnoticed. Annoyed, the main concerned replied: " You are stupid !!!! "

The story could have ended there, but the user then allowed himself to tell him that his comment was "Rude". A remark that brought Michelle Williams off her hinges. " No, what is rude is telling a woman to have children. What if she can't have any? What if she just doesn't want it? Be careful what you say, and never give that to a woman again. I almost ignored this message, but people have to learn to let go of the uterus ", she said. We could not have said better.

A question to ban
Michelle Williams is not the first person to speak out on the subject. Last September, famous YouTuber Enjoy Phoenix sent a long message to her followers on Instagram after being asked "when is the baby?" ". A question which seems harmless to the interlocutor, but which reflects the idea that a woman cannot be fulfilled other than in motherhood. “Not everyone wants to have children. It’s a choice, not an obligation. Not everyone CAN have children. You don't know if the person is physically able to conceive, maybe they have been trying for years without success. A person's economic situation is also a determining factor. It is not a finality or a goal of life for everyone (…) Listen to your desires before listening to those of others, especially when it comes or not to give life, with all the responsibilities that entails ", she wrote. A text that echoed many women often faced with this kind of questions.
