Woman's post about being labeled a 'geriatric mom' at 38 sparks 'Renaming Revolution' targeting 'troubling' terms
These terms came from men, no doubt--and it's time they're changed! I was considered old when I had my first baby when I was in my thirties, 30 years ago. Now women are having babies when they're in their forties--or even older! And why aren't men's parts just taken out when they're older, like ovaries and uteruses are? Some docs just assume women want them out, since "they're not needed anymore." And then the women have to take hormones the rest of their lives. Older men are more likely to produce babies with genetic problems, and even autism, from what I've read. |
