I was really pretty surprised and offended when Penelope Trunk said that women who are 30 and not married are in crisis, and that Gen Xers have gotten in trouble by trying to have kids later.  I am 35, not married and certainly feel there is still time for that and I am not in crisis yet.  People like her are the ones who made 30-something women feel inadequate, pressured, and stressed out.  I know tons of people who have easily had kids in their late 30s.  I'm sorry she has such a narrow view and really dismayed that nobody called her on that.
