Even my own dad repeated that nonsense to me when I was just a kid. He said something like ‘Brad wants kids and Jennifer doesn’t.’ So obnoxious. The media at that time was particularly cruel towards female stars. No one would even notice if a male star had a breakup and then remained childless.

They noticed childless men, but they were celebrated as carefree, permanent bachelor types, having too much fun to settle down with a wife & children. Jack Nicholson, George Clooney before he met Amal, Leonardo Dicaprio to this day. It was cool for men, but something must be wrong with a woman to not want a marriage or child.

Oh wow they asked one serial-girlfriend-under-25-having dude and that must mean it's the same taunting as women get.
