AMEN.

I felt really betrayed by Bones going the 'wants a baby' route in particular, but I'd just like to see ANY women on TV stay child free. Not child*less*, child FREE. Child free, happy/fulfilled as anyone else, and not presented as selfish or immoral for not letting themselves be bullied into being a babymaker when they know parenthood isn't the right choice for them.

There are plenty of great female characters who have or want kids, but whenever there's a woman who doesn't, she's villainized, or the writers decide to change her completely, or she's written off because she's clearly unsuitable as a love interest to a man who might want kids someday...

Yup. Bones was ruined for me with that storyline. I could have even been okay with her keeping the pregnancy if Booth had been the primary parent. He'd already proven to love parenting and to be a great parent to Parker. But no, Bones had clear gender existentialist ideas, so of course as the mother Bones had to be the primary parent. And she had to become "maternal" and nurturing even though it went against who she was. And then, when she went on the run, even though it would have made a hell of a lot more sense for Christine to stay with Booth , she actually endangered her child by taking her with her and everyone was totally cool with that and agreed she did the right thing. What the hell, show?

Nope, still not over Bones. I loved seasons 1-3 so much. It was one of my favorite shows. And they completely and utterly destroyed it. She was one of my favorite characters. And they utterly destroyed her.

I left the show long before that happened (and yes, it was because they destroyed her character and I couldn't take it), but did the characters seriously act as if she did the right thing by kidnapping and endangering her daughter?? The only thing I know about it is that it was without Booth's knowledge, so I expect he had something to say about it, at least O_O

Grey's Anatomy I think did a surprisingly good job of this one with Christina, it was clear from the start she didn't want kids and she held firm to that the whole time. There was conflict when she was dating Owen, who wanted kids, but I never felt the show was demonizing her for it and when the actress decided to leave the show she was written off by getting the fulfilling medical career she'd been striving for. TV needs more Christinas.
