I think Feminism has done young women a very great disservice but putting them at loggerheads with men and their own natures. The fact is , young women’s best years for fertility and attractiveness are between 16 and 27. Nothing can change that. After age 27 the fertility of women drops over incrementally year by year until by age 40 or 42 or so conception is difficult or impossible.

Therefore, women who sacrifice their family life for professional careers are often opting for a life of loneliness and childlessness.

There must be great many women 40 and above who now regret they never had children though I doubt, if I may be so bold, there are many American woman above 40 who lack sexual experience.

But most of their experience is of the dud-in-the mud hook up kind and so really is mostly wasted time. Neither the person nor society will have anything to show for it fifty years in the future. RUTH MUNRO my mother. She lost many childbearing years to WW2 1941-1946. But still had three children including ME at age 39. Thanks, Mom
