I didn’t say it was every woman’s ambition. But many people reevaluate how they feel about the idea when they are forced to confront the fact that the choice will soon be taken away from them. This doesn’t happen at age 25, but probably starts to become more apparent for many people around that age. Keep in mind it often takes years of planning to go from deciding you want to have children to actually having them.

- AmericanChopper 4y agoThat’s clearly not true, because this issue still exists in societies where women have full autonomy and legal protections. It’s created by biological realities, not social conventions. It’s not simply a trendy sentiment that can be bucked (which is the claim made in the comment I originally replied to).
- emodendroket 4y agoI'm not sure what is clearly not true but many women marry past 25 and have children.
