Late Stage Capitalism

I'm not sure what this is in response to exactly. Comments on the youtube video? I'm sure some women don't want to go through pregnancy throughout all of human history and they should have the right not to, wherever possible. But plenty do want to have kids of their own now and historically (in spite of the fact pregnancy can be a difficult and at times dangerous thing to go through), and it's not as though all of them need to for a society to keep going anyway. And when it comes to the point that knfrmity raised about "takes a village", it's probably better to have some people who aren't raising children of their own, but are nevertheless helping raise other people's children as "part of the village."

The question here is what has changed compared to certain numbers in the past. If capitalism is not a factor, what is the factor? Or are you saying the difference is made up?

I'm also just a little weirded out by this wording:

spend their best years

I would define a person's best years as the years they are the happiest about, not a range set from the outside. When you turn 30, or 40, or 50, you aren't in decline now and it's all downhill from there. That would be a nihilistic, overly biological, depressing view of life. And one that syncs up rather uncomfortably with an objectified view of women...
