My point was that if you take the article at face-value and believe that the journalist did her due diligence and that the man in the article was telling the truth, then you can _presume_ (not assume) that the woman had fertility issues so her age wouldn’t matter regardless. Also, you must have missed the paragraph in my last comment where I acknowledged it does make sense to be skeptical when reading articles like this, which is what you’re doing in recognizing that people make assumptions and then those assumptions pervade culture, media, etc etc. Yes, I get that men have fertility issues too. Yes, there’s been a history of women being blamed for fertility issues. Yes, the medical community used to do XYZ and still does ABC today when dealing with fertility issues, etc etc. Yes, I know all of those things and I still have the same opinion. Nothing in those first 2 paragraphs of the article set off any BS alarms for me. If you want to be one of those “don’t believe everything you read on the internet” or “anybody can write anything on Wikipedia” proselytizers, then that’s your prerogative. I’ve outgrown that and that seems to be where we disagree.
