Comment on Can I still consider myself a “young woman” after I turn 24? I turn 24 in March (next month).
Flagstaff@programming.dev 5 days agoYeah, come on. “Young” = no one would question the chromosomal health of your baby if you chose to have one right now. So it’s in the 30s when that starts to get shaky, but certainly not the 20s.

That’s a really weird definition of young.

So let’s have your better definition. Remember we’re talking about young adults, not literal young like kids.

I dunno, to be honest. But for me, reproductive changes are a consequence of age, not the other way around. No single factor feels like it in itself is a sensible definition.

But when people say, “You’re not young any more,” it’s usually a reference to the biological clock. At least, to me the science strongly suggests that the cutoff is age 35: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_and_female_fertility
