I'm not going to go into how flawed your argument is that being a shitty parent is a feminist issue and that we should give leniency to neglectful mothers who don't love the kids they raise because it's ~STOPPING THE DOUBLE STANDARD~. Straw feminism is an entire beast on its own, and most feminists would counter your point with that they go after neglectful fathers just as much.

Kids don't have a return policy. Once you decide to raise a child, that child is dependent on you until he or she is a legal adult. That child trusts you and is vulnerable to your every action, word, and feelings about them. Children can pick up on emotions and an unhealthy environment whether you want to acknowledge that fact or not. So unless you want to screw up your child later on in life with psychological issues and trust issues, you should be invested in thinking about whether you really are suitable to be a parent. You wanted the perfect child and can't handle one with problems and needs who might not be into things you are? Don't be a parent. Parenting isn't about what you want. It's about nurturing and giving unconditional love to a person and watching them grow into an individual all on their own because of how you raised them.

Okay... I don't think the OP said any of that stuff you're attributing to her in the first paragraph, and your second paragraph seems to boil down to "somehow go back in time and know whether or not you'll love your kid(s)." Not much you're saying is making sense.

"People would think I'm a monster - doubly so because I'm a woman."

Sounds pretty much like screeching about oppression that doesn't actually exist in this situation to me.

If you don't think you can love your kids no matter what, then you shouldn't be a parent. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out.

you seriously think that's screeching????

there's definitely a societal expectation that women are magically innately 100 percent in love w/ their kids the moment they pop out of the womb. that's just fact.

there's also enormous amounts of societal pressure on women (and married couples) to want children.
