Felt the need to address different perspectives existing.
It feels like the perspective that you "haven't been through anything before age 14" is...not true.It's more like what some adults will say as a way to make life and their society seem more orderly.
Patriarchal society still wants people to feel very insecure.

Even the most privileged ones in the society are made to feel very insecure.

"I desperately wanted to be generative and be a part of the community."

Seems as though Pascoe was made to feel insecure if she didn't have kids in a specific kitchen (oops weird typo! Haha) er, type of way, and this kind of story makes me feel like that old "Patriarchal Society just wants us to worship white guys' genetics at the expense of everyone else" programming is still running. Unfortunately, those programs haven't changed all that much for some people.
Perhaps her husband just didn't have the same ideas as her on being able to adopt. IVF was his idea, wasn't it?
"'I think he was worried about a space of sadness in our life, where I was very convinced that we could adopt and foster." ~ Pascoe
'It was like making a hypothetical decision based on a sadness I hadn't felt yet. The way society ties women's success to marriage and babies weighed heavily on me; I think women are complicit in reinforcing it.'" ~ Pascoe
"Comedian Sara Pascoe, 43, admits she had given up..."
Patriarchal Society still wants people to be able to be the most satisfied with being self-absorbed and insensitive to a lot different kinds of people who weren't historically valued by their society.
Patriarchal society teaches people (and parents) that being cold to others is the way to be a good role model. The best way to raise children is to train them to be just as self-absorbed and insensitive as their society wanted their parents to be. And that's fine for everyone else too, supposedly? Not really.
"Nieves explained that Teonna didn't enjoy hurting Sister Mary even if it was retribution for the nun's own cruelty, saying it 'wasn’t an action that she really desired to do, but it was one that she had to do to save herself and everyone in that room.'"
"Meanwhile, Ehles explained that Sister Mary saw herself as a protector in her own warped way as she truly believed this was the best way to help these girls, though notes that is because Sister Mary is 'full of intense ignorance and damage.'"

Honestly, this is 2025, and Patriarchal Society still wants people to do what the rich property owning white guys think they should do. It is a society that wants people to be very shallow. And in order to do that, the Patriarchal Ones must feel entitled enough to think that making people feel they're not good enough is the way to go, and that being highly insecure is what's actually "good enough" for them.
