My View of Motherhood

$

I have a negative view of motherhood. I see it as an invasion of female body and locking the woman down for the rest of her life.
Plus, I think it's such a disadvantage for women to undergo all the suffering while men only enjoy and have their children.
I'm a feminist by the way.
I asked "How my view of motherhood changes if I keep on going through my current path?"and got 23.5 >20.
Hexagram 23 talks about something being torn (my aversion to the female role?).
The changing line 5 refers to "gaining favor through palace ladies" according to several descriptions (getting more in tune with one's feminine side? benefiting from good female companions?)
Hexagram 20 invites us to put aside any prejudices and get ready to see the truth as it is- as if there are false judgements that obscure the reality.
My opinion: If I try to be present with life- as I'm already doing- and not to judge it by my established thoughts, I'll discover something about the femininity that softens my view.
I've tried to be more positive but I can't help myself considering motherhood as a huge injustice.
I'll appreciate your comments.
