[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is one troll who seems sure women are being fed some message that they can get pregnant forever and like, what? I got pregnant by accident in my early 30s. I heard my whole life how fertility declines especially after 30 and I stopped being so careful.[/quote]

Yeah. Most women I know got pregnant once they were partnered/married - it wasn’t like they had an earlier opportunity. I also know a fair number of women who’d like to have kids, but aren’t partnered. I don’t know any women who are partnered, want kids and are waiting a gratuitously long time to have them based on some idea that you can delay it indefinitely. [/quote]

This is something that drives me crazy about the "hurry up and have babies, ladies!" crowd. Unless you are a single mom by choice (which I'm sure these same people will howl about as being terrible), your timelines is not just up to you. And the pressure to find a good partner is often much more on women because men are not encouraged to plan ahead or think about family composition and parenting ability in their partner (men who are taught to do this tend to marry well!). So as a 20-somethign woman who wants kids, you are out there dating, trying to find a good partner and father, but also trying not to put too much pressure on it and drive anyone away, and also working on yourself to be the best partner and future mom you can be. It's a lot. And then you have people like the PP on this thread running around saying "hurry up! hurry up! don't you know your eggs are shriveling up as you speak! do you think everyone has babies in their 40s like Natalie Portman?????"

Go yell at men. Go tell men that if they think they want to be fathers "someday" they need to become the sort of men who can be fathers *right now*. Tell them to stop waiting for a woman to come and fix them and remind them to go to the doctor and the dentist and develop empathy and be responsible -- they need to figure all that out on their own so that when they meet a woman they want to marry, they are already ready to go. Go tell men to stop dicking around on these apps getting distracted by ever new set of tits they see, and actually get to know women and find someone they connect with.

Stop yelling at women. We've been yelled at enough. We KNOW. We're working on it. Go work on men and tell them to stop "looksmaxxing" and grow up.[/quote]

The 20 something year old women don't want marriage and definitely don't want children.

There are so many wonderful marriage minded young men full of opportunity and promise, but very few women who want anything resembling a family with a strong, kind, nurturing, productive husband and kids.[/quote]

LOL no, what most women don't want is a traditional man to "protect" and "lead" them. If a man in his 20s can't find a girl to settle down with,he's the problem.

And to the first post above YEP. And then if DO find a guy in your 20s and have babies "on schedule" and somehow the guy ends up not great "you should have picked better." lol[/quote]

So you are against young men not willing to be fathers, but hate young men who are responsible,  nurturing, respectful, hard working and willing to be responsible husbands and supportive loving partners.

Got it.[/quote]

No one is falling for your manosphere coded bs. [/quote]
