yup--in the autistic community it’s now known that aging fathers contribute to the likelihood of having autistic children. the biological clock is real for men, too.
A number of recent studies have shown male fertility declines significantly by 40 for the average male. Miscarriage rates are higher when the man is 35+ and so is the risk for a child with down syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, pediatric cancer, noonan syndrome, etc.
I used to buy into the idea that Howard Stern was “just a character,” and believed all that Private Parts bullshit about what a good family man he was, how much he loved his wife. And then he left her for a younger, hotter model.
Yes but the fact it becomes harder for men post 35, doesn’t change the fact it is even harder for women.
I don’t hate men. Check out the chances of defects for 50+ fathers.
I’m not disproving anything but a biological clock is a two way street. By the age of 35 the quality of sperm declines due to all the cell divisions taking place to make sperm. It’s important for men to who want to be fathers not to be fooled into thinking it’s smooth sailing whenever they want children and any…
Quantity and quality of sperm both decline. Plus, the declining quality of sperm massively decreases the chance of pregnancy actually resulting in a live birth, which is kind of the point of fertility for pretty much everyone.
“Vanity was the beginning and the end of Sir Walter Elliot’s character; vanity of person and of situation. He had been remarkably handsome in his youth; and, at fifty-four, was still a very fine man. Few women could think more of their personal appearance than he did, nor could the valet of any new made lord be more…
Your second statement needs to be shouted. Many men are in denial about this. Women have always taken heed of biological clocks, etc. Plus science will likely bring us to the point that that reproductive aging for women can be reversed. Doesn’t mean people should be having kids in their 70s (men or women). You…
Sunflowers are also indigenous to North America.
not to mention, ya’ know. many, many of his children were because of the use of rape as a systematic tool of war. but. whatever.

I would apply. But I would have to be financial and healthcare POA. I would also need 5 million up front either in cash or assets, and then a 8 million dollar bonus if I pop out the kid. But then again I’m black, so he probably wouldn’t be feeling it.

YALL BETTER NOT BE IN HERE TALKING SHIT ABOUT NOEL FIELDING
Don’t be mean to my goth boo Noel 😡
I love the bizarre choice of including Noel Fielding. It’s like if Steven Wright became a judge on Chopped. Actually...never mind, that would be amazing.
You brought up penile circumcision on an FGM post in the first place. You did the exact same thing that MRAs do. I realize you did it for entirely different reasons — as I wrote, your experience is important and valid — but it is NOT this. You are a woman who experienced penile circumcision and that is not what is…
No. I realize we are all limited to our lived experience, but your experience here is not analogous with what this doctor did or what people commonly refer to as FGM.
