at least for women fertility begins to decline at 32.

That's a little bit of a yikes there, buddy.

Edit: and additional "yikes" for all of the people that don't see the problem with assigning a value to women based on how fertile they may or may not be.

Edit 2: tHe QuAnTiTy Of EgGs! Because women only exist to get pregnant.

How can a fact be yikes? It’s only relevant if women want children, but if they do then the earlier the safer it is.

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 27 points 9 months ago

Why is that a yikes? More birth defects, complications, start running low on eggs. All of that is just facts...

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 26 points 9 months ago

They said nothing about the value of a woman being tied to fertility, that came out of mind..

As for the decline in fertility statement, that has been scientifically proven for decades and assumed for centuries. Women are born with a set amount of eggs, they typically go through at least one per ovulation cycle, they start reaching the end in their 30s and risks of birth defects start increasing in their 30s

So biological facts are now cringe?

The question was about marriage. There are two reasons that I see people get married. For young people it's about starting a family. However you and I feel about it personally, legal structures that are in place just make it easier when you're married. The other reason is for older people. Pensions and estate planning is easier for married couples. Again, I have opinions about it but it remains a plain fact.

I got married to share healthcare and other tax advantages and do not plan to have children. I'm under 30 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I envy you. My partner and I are DINKs. There has never been a tax break aimed at our demographic. lol.

I believe you are the one who is confused and making unwarranted assumptions here.

In fairness, when we had our first at 34 she was a year off being medically labelled a "geriatric mother"

You are the only one talking about tying women's worth to anything
