I’m so sorry to bring that reddit bs over, but you do have a fitting username

Menopause doesn’t hit before the 40s or so. Plenty of women have children in their 30s. At that point, they have had time to mature, get an education, and build stable circumstances to raise children. Yes, the consequences of the industrial revolution and so on, but those consequences also basically eradicated the child mortality we had before, for instance.

If someone knows they want a family early, good for them, but I don’t blame anyone wanting to experience life before passing it on.

I mean, I can always decide to argue with someone who seems to disagree but is willing to stick to the rules as argue in good faith. Who knows, maybe one or both of us can learn something. Likewise, I can always decide that someone is so far gone that there’s no point. But to categorically avoid any argument that sounds stupid is not helpful.

Those people are like that because a) they are genuinely bad people, b) they are fueling the fire on purpose, and c) nobody ever convinced them they are stupid.

To not let the a) and b) win, yes, we need to convince people that what they heard is wrong.

This doesn’t even make sense from a (pretty stupid) “you have to have children” point of view, what is stopping women to have kids later in life, when they’ve got an education, know what they want in life, and are financially and mentally stable enough to raise them?

Of course I know the answer starts with “m” and ends with “isogyny”, but it’s a very stupid take even in its own framework

Surely, worth a try, I’d say
