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.
Not comparable in any way. 80 year old men can get women pregnant. Women generally have extreme trouble getting pregnant at half that age.
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.
On 20 August 1997, Dawn Brooke (UK) became the oldest natural mother when she gave birth to a son by Caesarian section at the age of 59 years. She conceived accidentally, having managed to ovulate past her last period.

Never heard of post-menopause pregnancy. Feels like body said we not done yet lol.
This is a sad situation for Australia on many accounts. It would help if more employment was made available in regional areas where there is still space and prices for housing are relatively affordable.
This is not just Australia. This is repeated across every single developed economy. The problem is capitalism. This is the expected result when every aspect of life is aggressively commoditised. When our political class collude with corporations to extract value from the people, rather than improve their quality of life and standard of living.
Im 61, i decided another I nor the planet could afford kids 40 years aho and had a vasectomy.
over those 40 years endless articles about people not producing more grist for the mill
A nice goal would be a planet with 100 million at most
Well the last time the global population was around 100 million was over 2000 years ago, so I think that asking for a 99% reduction in human life is screaming eco-fascist
A planet with 100 million at fucking most? Are you stupid or something?
You’ll need to outline your objections more clearly.
If you don’t want kids, and you have a vasectomy, that would mean you’re fucking smart.
It’s now a seemingly common trend in developed nations. Old people voted against social programs nationally and vetoed housing development locally then wonder why the children they voted out of existence aren’t around.
We’re not worried.
