This is a survey for women. Do not take this survey if you do not identify as a woman. Some questions in this survey will be irrelevant to you. For example, not all people have children. If a question is irrelevant to you, please skip it. There is no need to email me complaining that not all questions are relevant to you personally; I am seeking data from a large group of people, and that data is important even if some questions do not apply to all.
