Take your incel crap elsewhere
I dont doubt it is incel crap. But idk, in isolation it seems to me like it is making fun of the stressing about running out of time. Which, idk, feels pro-mental health and enjoying life to me.
Also, I haven't seen anyone break down about this myself - but it is definitely something on some of my female friends' minds. If they want kids, they have a window. You can argue about exactly what it is... but it exists. And they want a runway. They want to find a guy who has his shit together and who has the same goals and values and who is enjoyable to be around, and that can be difficult in the first place. And then they need to date him for a few years until they feel like they are ready to commit. Then they get married, and need to be in a good place financially in order to raise a kid "right". And if they date a guy for a few years and it doesn't work out, then their timeline starts over. Which, while I am not female nor do I have the goal of having kids, does sound like a stressful situation.
