Oh yeah cant you wait a few years for the housing market to go back to down?
Its been 6 years since covid when will it go back? Women cant have kids like men. There is an upper age limit eventually. Its like being punished for being responsible. Really makes me want to :: blocked by lemmy ::
It's men, too. Sperm count and more importantly quality deteriorates. So both sexes are on the biological clock.
I dk if i can see it as comparable. The lower chance for men is still way better than 0 chance for women. I know a few blokes who had kids in 60s but 0 women in that age would be able to naturally.
You made me curious because I know of some outlier cases where post-menopausal women have had natural pregnancies.

Never heard of post-menopause pregnancy. Feels like body said we not done yet lol.
Not quite the same thing, but my mom had my older siblings when she was between 15 and 21 years old. The delivery she had at 21 was complicated and traumatic. Doctors told her she'd never be able to have another child. 17 years later, she goes to the doctor and they find me in her belly. Life damn sure finds a way.
Not comparable in any way. 80 year old men can get women pregnant. Women generally have extreme trouble getting pregnant at half that age.
