The Controversy Surrounding Robert De Niro's Late Fatherhood

TL;DR Summary
Robert De Niro's recent birth of his seventh child at the age of 79 highlights the trend of American parents getting older. While both men and women are waiting longer to have kids, women tend to be judged more harshly for it. The stigma attached to "older" mothers is still prevalent, while older fathers are not scrutinized as much. Linda Yaccarino has been named CEO of Twitter, and Spain's women's race has apologized for giving a food processor as a prize. A year after the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, there has still been no justice, and abortion clinics have seen a significant increase in violence and threats post-Roe.
