Yep. All those women who have chosen education and success over child rearing are just making sure that more of the next generation come from less educated and less successful families.

That makes no sense at all. Education raises your status. Work experience raises your status. A well educated couple having children later in life raises higher status children.

This article is propaganda. Like it or not, nowadays in the western world, having children young is considered lower class, while having children older is higher class.

And yes, educated, worldly people know that you can help nature along with proper diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Normal women approaching or at 40 can have children, and society is better off for it.

Women should be married off young, be housewives and mothers, and the man should be the breadwinner.

And that's how it is.

The only status that matters is passing genes down to future generations. What impresses you personally does not matter. It's survival of the fittest that matters.

Right now, most third world people have the highest status, because they outbreed the industrialized world.

Sounds like the opening scene of Idiocracy.

Like it or not, nowadays in the western world, having children young is considered lower class, while having children older is higher class.

I remember caring what other people thought about stuff like that until I was about 23. Then I figured things out for myself.

“That makes no sense at all. Education raises your status. Work experience raises your status. A well educated couple having children later in life raises higher status children. “

A well educated couple having children later in life have fewer children, hence their children make up a smaller proportion of the next generation. Makes perfect sense.
