More and more women choose not to have children. Motherhood is no longer the only aspiration of women, and society has gone from calling them "spinsters" to creating new conceptualizations. An example of this is the latest denomination of modern aunts: PANK. The term "PANK" was spread by Melanie Notkin, a marketer, and it stands for Professional Aunt With No Kids. These aunts have the characteristics of being professionals with sufficient purchasing power to provide them with independence and stability.
They are role models of female empowerment for girls
Indeed, aunts have always been parenting support for the mothers of children, when parents have to go out, they usually ask grandmothers or aunts to take care of the children. Besides being in contact with their nieces and nephews, Pank aunts are role models of female empowerment for girls.
PANK, who freely decide not to be mothers and not follow the stereotype of women marked by the patriarchy (dedicated to caring for the family and home), represent a source of inspiration for girls and also influence their way of seeing the world. They know that women should be free to decide about their destiny, body, and profession.
The PANKs become an example of a strong woman for girls. How lucky to have them for advice or any teenage doubt that maybe mom would scandalize or worry, the PANK creates unequaled complicity with their nephews without forgetting that they must take care of them.
