That she 'gave him children' and 'raised them for him' (although even though they're willing to use that language in talking about what 'she did for him', they don't think he should have 'possession' of the children after the relationship ends. So I guess she 'leased him' the kids.) as opposed to having had kids for herself. That she had no agency to decide if she wanted children, but that he simply 'forced her' to give birth to 5 children and made her their nanny.
It's truly bizarre how many people want to deny her 29 years of adult decisionmaking, and claim she chose nothing, that everything was imposed upon her for almost three decades.
Oh, and btw, there's now another thread equating anyone who disagrees with that point of view as 'MRA'.
