They really hate biology.
How is marriage biology? What the hell?
The pressure to get married young comes from the biological clock shit for brains.
Exactly, she's a 35 year old woman. If this was Dolly Parton talking about how her Mom was married at 14 and pregnant at 15 then yes I get it, but Emma's parents pressuring her to try and find someone now so she can have them a grandchild before she's 40 is not "violence", it's a pretty basic experience and one that kind of matters to keeping the species going. Even if she chooses not to, that social pressure is not violence. Grow a spine and own your choices
You can get pregnant without getting married, and you can get married and never get pregnant. Marriage and reproduction aren't the same thing. Emma doesn't want either and if her parents are doing the "gibes me grandbabby" passive-aggressive whine-along it is probably really annoying for her. Plus, does anyone in this thread who's been snarling about her being "BPD" or a horrible awful troon defender or out-of-touch and spoiled seriously think she'll be good at parenting?
Correct, but I do find it funny that her apparent pivot away from trans issues for her brave stance on womanhood is the pressing issue of the "violence" parents demanding marriage and grandbabies. Remembering that trans issues was not her first foray into feminism, that was #HeForShe, awareness raising among men so that they treat women better. In case anyone wants to say that Watson's activism is genuine and not a cynical attempt to attach to the most anodyne and mainstream professional class women topics (which troons seem to be until they weren't) to seem like she cares. And this one seems personal in a funny way.
Hogwarts, Hogwarts
This is the faggiest sentence you can say in the developed world, but only you can get away with it. Everyone else needs to go outside and touch a vagina.
Exactly, she's fallen so far back from the troon frontier she's back to second wave feminism. Its perfect for someone who wants to be known for fighting for "women's rights" while avoiding any controversy landmines, And like I said, seems like a hilarious pet peeve she is going to try to make into a thing.
I don't think Emma Watson is feeling any sort of subconscious maternal urge, as @Izdaja Slika suggests, however his definition above is correct. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) adopted age 35 as the definition of AMA in the 70s, or more specifically if the mother would be over 35 at the estimated date of delivery, because it was the roughs threshold point when issues like chromosomal anomalies in the fetus and complication like Preeclampsia spike in likelihood. It's not huge increases overall, but it's the inflection point and it rises with every year over that.
I know it is technically correct. I was not trying to "disagree" with a medical definition (how do you even do that?)
My god woman, who yanked your chain?
No, it was worse. You got upset over nothing.
It was a very mild satire and not even of Watson specifically but of the increasing age at first birth in the Anglosphere, and almost everywhere else.
I'll take it back if you agree to always say the same thing about testicles over the age of 35 every time you mention uteruseseses over the age of 35. Otherwise, calm down about healthy 35 year old women living in the first world.
But the situations are not equivalent. As has already been explained, the deleterious effects of increasing maternal age start at earlier ages than the deleterious effects of increasing paternal age. And the curve for paternity is not as steep as it is for maternity.
I wasn't upset in the first place. It was you who exploded with autistic rage at my post. The evidence is there for all to see.
I would not become a father at my age, nor would I engage in egg purchase or womb rental even if I wanted to become a father. Leaving aside whatever the ethical arguments are in terms of surrogacy and being ready for a nursing home by the time your child turns 20, I simply believe it would be a waste of financial resources.
