I am glad Dalrock wrote about this at this time, as the idea has been sprouting up in many places.
Even women who think they ‘need’ to wait until 35+ to have kids do not do the most obvious precautionary step : Freeze their eggs.
This reveals :
1) Women cannot plan long term, and certainly don’t understand cause and effect.
2) They think they are fertile for as long as a man, with no awareness how quickly fertility drops after 30.
3) Extrapolating further, this also explains why women believe their SMV will stay high at age 35, 55, or even 79.
4) Women who have no clue about what their fertility window is often have fancy degrees from fancy schools. In other words, her parents and the taxpayer paid over $500K for ker K-12 + Univ, and yet this person is unaware of the basic factors behind one of her most important life decisions (arguably THE most important one).
Amazing. Yet, we let these people vote, and divert almost all of society’s resources to them. The magnitude of this resource misallocation is stunning.

Because the most important thing in a woman's life is that she reproduces. A woman has no value aside from her reproducing. That's a really pathetic view to have on half of the human race, and why you will never be taken seriously. At least most normal far-right conservatives will try and pretend like a woman has more value than that.

Dalrock writers and posters are allowed to vote still, besides those who have had their voting rights stripped away because of a felony, like, say, date rape.
I really hate this pervasive cultural idea that freezing your eggs is like freezing sperm.
Harvesting sperm is jizzing into a cup. Harvesting eggs is a long, complicated, expensive and disruptive process. Freezing is really expensive too. And while sperm is typically fine after thawing, there is no guarantee that a thawed, artificially inseminated, implanted egg will be successful.
A woman is far more likely to have a healthy pregnancy by waiting than by egg freezing, of the two options.
I know these guys are always idiots, but this weird idea that egg freezing is a solution to anything but extreme desperation is so pervasive that even companies like Facebook promote it.

The idiots that think 14 year old children are irresistably sexually attracted to 60-year old viagra popping perverts and grossly misinterperets the reasons women seek higher education and sustainable income pontificate on...
...
On fucking anything and expect to sound intelligent?
Let alone the belief that there is a set uniform standard by which sexual desirability is judged to which men and women are held to an inverted dynamic that only one side of the equation is adversely affected by and that this somehow determines EVERYTHING EVER ABOUT ANYTHING THAT EXISTS?
... Just... why? I mean...
Society logically should not exist without consensus. How is it even possible to have gotten this far with such a diconnect between observable history and such archaic (also demonstrably false considering historical example) ideas? These conceptions are not just out of date but so far out of touch with reality as to confound our pre-historic ancestors who had only a base instinctual understanding of survival that this even runs contrary to.
Which women "need" to wait until 35+? You do know that men's sperm get worse with age too, right? Have you frozen your sperm?
Freezing eggs is expensive and the result is uncertain.
1. Some women plan ahead, others don't. Most women understand cause and effect. Women are individuals, we don't all share a common mind.
2. We know we are not fertile for as long as men are, we also know that men are not fertile as long as they think. We know that the longer we wait, the higher the risk of problems to get pregnant.
3. What's SMV and why should it be high? The women who "need" to wait until 35+ mostly have a man, who has also waited.
4. Men who have no clue about what their fertility window is often have fancy degrees from fancy schools too, and some of them are also unaware of the basic factors behind one of their most important life decisions.
We let you vote, even though you're clearly not in favor of civil rights.
You do know that pregnancy, childbirth and child-upbringing aren't cheap, right? If you're worried about the resources diverted to women, you ought to be happy that some of us don't have kids.
Doesn't the US have one of the most expensive armies in the world? Is that resources diverted to women? You also have a very expensive government and election process, which have a male majority.
The magnitude of your stupidity is stunning.
"The magnitude of this resource misallocation is stunning."
How else should resources be allocated?
Towards getting a law saying "Whenever Dalrock tells a woman he wants to fuck her, she has to let him, whether she wants to or not."?
How old are you TFH? Clearly you're not aware of your declining SMV due to the increase in certain medical problems , including mental illness, in children born to older fathers. So why are we letting you vote?
Maybe it's because freezing eggs isn't cheap, and perhaps women aren't sure whether or not they want to wait until later to have children, if at all.
Frankly, what business is it of yours?
Ladies, we need to start a bullshit campaign about how only a man's wife or mother should be allowed to make decisions regarding his expression of sexuality and his access to genito-urinary health care. It's only fair. After all, many freely admit that they "think with the small head."
How old is this little window licker? He types like he just discovered a thesaurus in an attempt to sound smart, which isn't working.
I'm trying very hard not to think that all men are this stupid & hateful but it's becoming increasingly difficult.
A women fertility peaks when she is in her 20s.
Google what age does a women fertility peaks, or peak female fertility.
Approximate age: 20 to 38
Hormone levels: Your FSH and estrogen are within normal range (you might want to get a baseline test at around age 35).
Characteristics: Your menstrual cycles should be regular throughout this stage. One percent of the female population, however, experiences menopause before the age of 40, where FSH levels prematurely increase and menstrual cycles stop.
Fertility issues: This is the longest of all the stages. It's actually broken into three segments. The first 7 years are your peak fertility time; the next third marks your first slight fertility decline, followed by the beginning of your second fertility decline, around age 35. (The sharpest statistical drop in fertility, however, occurs at the age of 45, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.) Source from
