@BowsacNoodle Depends on when they start up the factory though. A lot of girls in my age bracket are finding out pregnancy isn't a given when their very first chemically-uninhibited menses comes at the age of 35. They enter their middle ages with a belief that they'll get pregnant as easily as they did at seventeen, when they're actually playing some pretty uphill odds unless they've stayed pretty healthy and unmodified.

Hell, I was JUST having to smile and nod along about some 36 yo woman trying to go through IVF. She's telling me about it as if the norm that we should accept is IVF by default. That's how bad it is, everyone of us is so poisoned we have to pat each other on the back and act like the default cost for a white baby is $100,000 in cash.

Shaming is the only real tool that pushes women into better behavior, making them judge each other is at least better than coddling them and playing to the lie that pregnancy is just a free, easy, and granted aspect of life. That door slowly closes over time, and women don't even realize they've spent their lives nailing extra deadbolts to it because they had to do things the "right" way
