I know I'm late to the party and wait, I hate to be late to a good party better I'd love to tell you about what I'm angry about today. I've just watched Chris Williamson on Diary of the CEO talk about how there are more childless women 30 than better. And what about tier voice? Like, childless women 30? You know it takes two to rank, right? We can go into the birds and the bees if we wanna go into the birds and the bees, but like, if we're gonna talk about that and all statistics are important, whether we wanna say they're bad, whether we wanna say they're good, like statistics, data is important. We can talk about childless couples 30. If it's childless women 30, isn't it also childless men 30? And language is important because framing it this way inherently implies that women are the problem. When you're framing data that way and you're putting the implications on a whole subset of people rather than talking about childless couples or the broader conditions rank contexts that people are struggling to have children in, it puts the onus on the woman, it puts the blame on the women. And by centering it on the women it automatically places the responsibility of reproduction on those women as if men are not equally involved in a child making process.
