This^. It’s societal conditioning, not physical or mental limitation. What’s sad is women themselves infantilizing men (their sons and grandsons) and using delayed prefrontal cortex development as their defense. Let them grow and become independent. We expect more and early from women, hence they mature faster. Treat them same and give similar environment, they’ll mature at equal rate. |

OP you must be very young!
No one in their 30s is considered old, especially women. It's a mantra contrived by many men to try and keep women in their place. Or simply to demean them. It angers some of the male population that women can choose to have a man or not. Women in reality have many more choices than men today. Whoever is telling you women are old by 30 is one you need to get away from imo. |
No one says women are old in their 30's except for emotionally immature men who have issues.
Women are not old in their 30's, they simply aren't. This is created by men to keep women insecure. It is a very limited attitude to have. |
That's what I was thinking. |
I guess anyone in their 30’s is old for people under 30 and young for people over 40, gender is irrelevant. |
+1 pregnant at 39 first try. I could have kids until 44 I’m sure—I’m still ovulating at 51. Fertility panic led me to marry the wrong man and I regret it. |
Okay but it’s not like time freezes then. You then are married to the person ever after and you both age anyway. |
Yup. Only clowns think this way and entertain people who think this way. |
