I didn’t say it was every woman’s ambition. But many people reevaluate how they feel about the idea when they are forced to confront the fact that the choice will soon be taken away from them. This doesn’t happen at age 25, but probably starts to become more apparent for many people around that age. Keep in mind it often takes years of planning to go from deciding you want to have children to actually having them.
And the solution that's been arrived on is robbing women more fundamentally of any choice at all about what kind of life they will live. I think we're better off with the risk that maybe some people will wish they'd tried motherhood earlier than the alternative.
That’s clearly not true, because this issue still exists in societies where women have full autonomy and legal protections. It’s created by biological realities, not social conventions. It’s not simply a trendy sentiment that can be bucked (which is the claim made in the comment I originally replied to).
I'm not sure what is clearly not true but many women marry past 25 and have children.
Most women I know had kids in their early-to-late thirties. Maybe you need to get out in the world and interact with more and different kinds of people, because it appears you perspective is severely limited.
The average age in the US is 26. Maybe your perspective is limited?
> Maybe your perspective is limited?
Almost certainly is. I wouldn’t be surprised if “most women I know” are women who work for corporations.
