Are older mothers "elite"?

I was reading this, and it got me interested:

Older Moms Are an Elite Club
Having kids after 40 can ease some pressures of parenting—but only for women who can afford to wait.

my opinion: This is just femynists trying to shame men into going after harridans.

“Ease pressure of parenting”

Umm, no. At age 40, the chances of your child having Down’s syndrome go up by 20%. Each year after that, it goes up by an additional 20%. Having a child with Down’s syndrome is likely going to be a lot more pressure than a child without.

Logic.

They dont have any sense of reality, they cross the ridicolous line to reach the insanity one..either that or they are trolling hardcore.

Doing something decades after the right time doesnt mean that you are "elite", it means that you are retarded cause you're clearly late to reach a point.

The guy finishing highschool a 25 yrs old is elite? what about the 60yrs old guy getting a degree, is he top gun elite?

You're special yeah thats true, either cause you should join the "special kids" class or because your own kid will be "special kids" if you have them that late.

I think the term elite reffers to the fact the women are seen as elite in society, i.e. they have money, careers etc, not age.

 

[R.U.G.]

Elite? No. 1) Divorced at least once, most likely twice. 2) Have seen more c0cks than a gas station urinal. Does that sound like an elite woman to you? Many are obvious to the world around them and still believe in Disney fairytales. Heck, do you know how many I see 40+ year olds on Instagram or with dating pics with those emoji ears and hats on with stupid looking duck faces?

Seems they've gotten even more immature. At the very least, a bit delusional on their prospects for landing a "quality man".

I also love how these articles compare average women to celebrities who have boat loads of money and connections to the best of the best in terms of life and healthcare. I mean, How would a person make 50k or 100k or even 250k a year be able to compare to the resources of a Nicole Kidman, Celine Dion, Mira Sorvino, Mariah Carey who are worth 10's of millions (or more for Dion and Carey) dollars?

Again, delusional. Article is written by a woman who thinks she's in the celeb league. Good luck and wishful thinking... That is all.

If you Google "elite" the definition is "a select part of a group that is superior to the rest in terms of ability or qualities". So if a woman 40+ has a kid she won't have the ability to any more $ for child support from the father for said kid than she would if having the kid under 40 so her quality of life from his money would be the same. Maybe even less because of inflation. So I conclude that her age makes no difference in ability or quality. So I would say NO, she is not elite.
