[This article] (http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2013/07/08/should-women-delay-motherhood/men-shouldnt-delay-fatherhood) When men delay fatherhood. This one ( This article indicates that when men delay fatherhood, there is a greater chance for passing on genetic abnormalities.
On the other hand, the same article alludes to
[This one] (http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2013/07/08/should-women-delay-motherhood/delayed-parenting-can-empower-women) which suggests that delaying motherhood empowers women. This article alludes to [This one] (http://adc.bmj.com/content/97/Suppl_1/A98.2.abstract), which suggests better outcomes for children born to older women.
This seems fine on the face of it, but it does not compare men and women genetically in the same way - but rather the study indicates that the measurements are those things that can be attributed to a more mature parent, and not genetics.
The implication is this - Men have old mutating genes so they should have babies younger, while women will be empowered and better parents if they delay parenthood because they will make better moms.
I ask that Reddit look at some of these things and tell me if I am reading this wrong. I do not want to contribute to ignorance, but this is a seriously biased series of articles that draw the wrong conclusions from studies to promote an agenda that appears to be feminist - or at the very least, anti-male.
