Pregnant and Over 40
Why are we still shocked when a female celebrity who is in her 40s announces that she is pregnant? Every subsequent article written about her makes a point of mentioning her age, with lots of people suggesting that she is selfish and irresponsible for “wanting it all”. When the same thing happens to a man, such as Rupert Murdoch at 72, David Jason at 61 and Rod Stewart at 66, there are cheers of “well done my son” and back slapping all round.
