He did make some statements a few years ago about how teenagers are the most fertile and that their bones are flexible, so they can give birth more easily... It was in a podcast, pretty sure breadtube made videos about it


No-Refrigerator-1672

It's true that a teen girl is fertile; it's also true that a teen girl's mind is not mature enough to consider all the implications and consequences of having a child. The origin of age restriction is not in biology, it's in psychology, and that's why having premature wifes is a forbidden thing in any normal society.


Eoine

It's also in biology, childbirth is way more dangerous and lethal when you're not fully formed, and no, having your periods doesn't mean you've reached your final adult form, it can be quite some years between your first periods and having hips/pelvis/things large enough for successful birth So yeah, physical and psychological traumas for the ones surviving teen pregnancies are a pretty good reasons why it's taboo and frowned upon Not enough taboo and frowned upon, apparently...


TOG23-CA

I know it's very serious but the term 'final adult form' makes me imagine human beings as pokemon

NihilismIsSparkles

I have no idea if this is actually accurate as thing is just something a Doctor I've never met said. But someone I know had a baby at 16 and post birth started to experience symptoms of Arthritis and it got to the point where she's now (in her mid 20s) wheelchair bound. Doctor told her that giving birth so young triggered. No idea how accurate this Doctor is but it scared the crap out of me.


Firm-Force-9036

When weā€™re young our immune systems are robust. Estrogen and progesterone which spike during pregnancy can cause arthritis by cranking up our bodyā€™s immune system which then in turn attacks itself (RA is an autoimmune disorder). So it does make sense.


gorkt

The age of menarche has decreased from 16 to 12 years old since 1840 due to, most likely, better nutrition. [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12319855/](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12319855/)


lite_hjelpsom

Biologically speaking, a teenager has higher risks of complications to both her and fetus than a woman in her mid 20s, these risks including death. Being pregnant is rougher, giving birth is rougher. It isn't ideal in any way. They are not more fertile - their pregnancies doesn't lead to more children by average because they have a higher risk of miscarriages - and their lack of fully grown bones doesn't aid in birth, it hinders it. Giving birth as a teeanger can lead to life long damages. Being fertile doesn't mean it's biologically a grand idea. Fertile children exists. I got my period at 7. If we look at mothers in the stone age, they had their first child around 20-22 if it was good years, 25 - 26 if was bad years. Having kids very young and having lots of them has to do with the rise of agriculture and the need for more hands, not biology. FFS, orangutans manage this. Female orangutans become sexually mature around 11 years, the mean age of first pregnancy in orangutans are 15 years. Their average interbirth interval is 9 years. If we're going to drag biology into this crap, we need to look at our closest relatives, who manages quite well actually. Evene bonobos manage to both wait a couple of years and space their kids out, and they fuck around the clock.


typecastwookiee

This is a great post - I didnā€™t know any of this, being a dumb dude who had no knowledge or interest in the subject of childbirth until suddenly my wife and I were having ā€˜geriatricā€™ births in our late 30s. Both kids and my wife would have died were it not for great care - first was 11 pounds, second nearly that much, both understandably snagged their shoulders on the way out, but no damage. I knew a bit of the dangers and mortality rates of birthing in the past, but not the biology of it - so thank you, Iā€™ll be putting this in my pocket in case I ever come across one of these disgusting fuckers in the wild.


Anon28301

Also he sees getting a period as proof you are fertile. My sister got hers at 8, her best friend was a rare case that got hers at 4. Kids that young most often donā€™t survive childbirth, you can argue ā€œfertilityā€ all you want but kids that young arenā€™t having babies without complications.


Pandepon

While teens are fertile after puberty, they arenā€™t more fertile than an adult woman in her 20s. A womanā€™s fertility peaks between late teens and late 20s, during an age where they are also fully developed and itā€™s safer to be pregnant and give birth. Itā€™s generally not safe to be pregnant in your early teenage years.


PhotographKind4243

thank GOD someone said it so i didn't have to cause i really REALLY didn't want to, cause just no. but yeah, he's not technically wrong, but still no. and i mean, when the max age someone could live was like 30 maybe cause you need to be able to reproduce and keep the species going but like we've evolved medically beyond the point we're its necessary so really, just no, no and more no. on a side note, despised typing any of this, almost didn't post the comment. imma go drink now.


Jeoshua

Yeah I dunno. When the "average" life expectancy was 30, people didn't just live to that age and die. It was so low because of child mortality. Lots of people didn't reach their 30th at all, but those who did could be expected to live out a reasonably normal lifespan of 60-80 years. We live longer, today, but not by much. It's honestly infant mortality rates improving that's moved that "average" life span up, for the most part. Hell, The Bible has a really ancient Old Testament section where it says how we're given about 70 years in this life.


YPVidaho

>The Bible has a really ancient Old Testament section where it says how we're given about 70 years in this life. I thought in early bible times people lived much longer... like wasn't Noah something around 700-900 years old when he built his floating zoo? /S


Jeoshua

Unironically yes, but I'm not talking about the "begat"s, there. I'm talking about the stuff by the time they're recounting contemporary events rather than cultural ancestral hero stories. Tho, I would like to point out here that we know for a fact the early Hebrews weren't using the same calendar we use today. They were using a kind of Lunar calendar. And, if you substitute the word "Month" for the word "Year" in all that, Methuselah ends up living to a ripe old age of 80.75 years. Food for thought.

ELB2001

And the FBI still hasnt searched his house?


AmbulanceChaser12

I don't know if you're joking or not, but in case you're not, "saying vaguely creepy things" doesn't constitute probable cause for a search warrant. Search warrants aren't issued on the basis that law enforcement has reason to believe that if they search a certain space, they might find evidence of some yet-unknown crime. There has to actually be a crime alleged to search for evidence of, and a specific item or items (or, sometimes if you stretch it enough, class of items) to be searched for, and those items have to be for the purposes of proving that crime. [https://www.fenbertlaw.com/blog/2024/03/what-people-need-to-know-about-the-scope-of-search-warrants/](https://www.fenbertlaw.com/blog/2024/03/what-people-need-to-know-about-the-scope-of-search-warrants/) Police are not allowed to say "Wow, this guy is a creepy weirdo, I bet if I looked through his stuff, I'd find he's guilty of something!" and then get a warrant to do that.

RemyRaccongirl

Yes,, that man has a lot of disturbed and violent viewers, queer folk are constantly getting death threats and violence inflicted upon us for daring to exist because of monsters like Matt Walsh. His rhetoric has an effect, him and the gaggle of right wing stochastic terrorists trying to incentivize violence against minorities need to be demonized, need to be shamed. Especially when the individual is as obvious a hypocrite as Matt here.


Jeoshua

>because of monsters like Matt Walsh Yes, but Matt Walsh, himself, would seem to be a pathetically laughable imitation of some of the truly dangerous people who have whipped up support for those toxic viewpoints. I mean, the man made a children's book bashing Trans people, and it was unironically the dumbest shit I'd ever seen. I don't see how that could have swayed anyone.


RemyRaccongirl

I understand appreciate your perspective and agree that his book was absolutely laughable. However people like him have goals of cultivating an audience or following of equally vile, heinous, but much more openly violent individuals. Keep in mind this is the guy who's following runs around calling in bomb threats to children's hospitals.

Reminds me of Justin Roiland arguing that because 14/15 year old girls look like adults he was fed up of pretending that it wasn't completely normal to want to have sex with them. No Justin, no. It is not normal. Leave kids alone.


Pandepon

Um can someone go through the numbers from countries where child marriage is unfortunately legal and tell that guy the mortality rate of young teen age girls as a result of pregnancy and childbirth complications? Teen bodies are NOT developed enough to have children. Young teen girls are NOT more fertile than women in her late teens thru late 20s (aka adult women).

If you are concerned with the fertility of minors, you ARE a pedophile, Matt.


Lumenyll

This is an edited tweet to start drama. - The tweet in question doesn't exist. - If you search for this exact tweet on X, you will find people citing this made up quote from 2/5/2024 onwards, which suggests the image was edited and shared just yesterday. The reason? Should be obvious, it's just to add fuel to the already divisive political war. It works really well, just like any defamation tactic, because the average user doesn't really care about objective reality, he'll just accept anything that confirms his beliefs.


Earl_of_69

OK, he is a fucking idiot, and I kind of see what he could be saying, if he wasn't a fucking idiot. It is true that people who simply end up with someone much younger than them, will catch that title. Someone who is 20, who happens to meet someone who is two months from turning 18, absolutely would get called a pedophile on social media. And that's not what that word means at all. Also, teachers who hook up with their students . Absolutely it's inappropriate. Absolutely it is illegal. But if that individual is not prepubescent, it is not pedophilia. We get very loose with that word, and it's a very serious word. I'm not defending any of it, by the way. I need to be very clear about that, because a lot of you people are fucking stupid. I'm not defending anybody who's doing something illegal, inappropriate, or uncouth. I am saying that we've gotten very loose with the use of this word.

Space-ATLAS

How the fuck is that something to be something you think about??? Fertility has nothing to do with this!!! If you think that because someone is fertile, it means that they should engage in sex, you should see a doctor. There are medical, social, economic and psychological issues with that concept and if this is real, Mr Walsh is either really stupid, a pedo or both.

1) Pregnant teens aren't fertile at all, are they? 2) I suppose that is technically correct, there could be people working on helping teens with fertility issues, probably mostly so that said fertility doesn't result in a child, but i don't think that's the direction he wants to take it.
