Wow. What sweeping and ridiculous generalizations. It's hard to argue with ignorance like yours. Women in their forties who elected not to have children are unfulfilled and are, what, cat farmers?

Careful you don't run out of oxygen up there on that high horse of yours.

Ann Coulter doesn’t have kids. She seems to be handling it just fine.

Not every woman over 40 who is childless is a libtard or nutcase.

Calm down. It was a bit over the top but a very valid point.

I have 40-something female cousin who decided to concentrate on her career instead of a husband & family. She lost her job recently and now wonders if the PhD & career were worth this price.

Many if not most will deny that they are unfulfilled, but they know the truth. The worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves.

The post struck a nerve for some.

In many cases (not finding the right person, reproductive issues etc.) women can't have children, or are called by God/nature to be single or childless.

Others use laboratory poison disguised as medicine (i.e. the pill) to unnaturally prevent reproduction or - in some cases - kill their own offspring, as the pill often kills an embryo destined as a person-to-be.

In any case, there seems to be a lack of comprehension of the first post; here's an excerpt for the sake of clarity:

Nobody told them that later in life MANY of them would wind up as empty and unfulfilled cat-farmers with no families.

If you're happy and fulfilled and not among the "many of them," why become so bothered with an internet post?

They have substitute children, aka ‘pets’, to make up for the loss of any children they won’t have. And some of those women have so many cats it does look like a cat farm.

I thought the cat farmer reference was funny.

I think that anybody who doesn’t want kids has some mental issues..
