Both Janney and Monica Lewinsky, who are in their 50s and 60s respectively, shared feelings of having been uneducated about their bodies&#8217; capacity to conceive, despite decades of sex education in American schools. The article traces the influence of the sexual revolution starting in the 1960s, which shifted cultural attitudes toward sex, marriage, and motherhood, promoting personal fulfillment over religious or conventional values. Feminist movements emphasized work and independence for women, frequently enough downplaying the biological realities of motherhood. This cultural shift led to increased contraception use,higher rates of abortion,and a decline in birth rates.post-Roe v. Wade, some corporations began subsidizing abortion over maternity leave, exemplifying how economic motives align with feminist narratives. Additionally, the piece critiques the myth of the &#8220;perfect&#8221; woman balancing career and motherhood, noting that economic interests benefit from women remaining childless or delaying motherhood. Janney&#8217;s personal reflection reveals regret for not having children earlier and a strong affection for her pets, emphasizing the lasting impact of these cultural and educational shifts.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>With a slight shake of the head, actress Allison Janney lamented not knowing about her fertility window until she was apparently in her 40s in a 2025<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hCWB7_TsMNQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> interview<\/a> with Monica Lewinsky that <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/i\/trending\/2087679381812695492\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">started trending on X<\/a> this week. \u201cI was \u2026 under the impression that women could have kids until they were 50,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Janney expressed a frustration with American sex education that many women feel today: \u201cThey didn\u2019t teach us anything about our bodies growing up,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<blockquote data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<div lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>I know people might mock her, but this is so real.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of women I know didn\u2019t know much about their own fertility windows.

Many \u201cprofessional\u201d doctors or educators would probably argue that the modern state of sex ed is far more advanced than anything from the ignorant past.<\/p>\n<p>Yet both Janney, <a href=\"https:\/\/celebrity-birthdays.com\/people\/allison-janney\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">who is in her 60s<\/a>, and her interviewer, Monica Lewinsky, <a href=\"https:\/\/networthgorilla.com\/monica-lewinsky-net-worth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">who is in her 50s<\/a>, both reported feeling uneducated on the limits and strengths of the most incredible aspect of the female body: its ability to conceive and grow a new life. Modern feminists will likely blame \u201call the misogyny in the world\u201d for their lack of education, as Lewinsky did, but the culpability actually lies with the feminists themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The average American birth rate has <a href=\"https:\/\/statbase.org\/data\/usa-birth-rate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">exponentially declined <\/a>ever since the 1960s and the rise of the sexual revolution. In response to the family values of the 1950s and the <a href=\"https:\/\/daily.jstor.org\/pro-sex-feminists-of-the-1920s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">seeds of sexual liberation in the 1920s<\/a>, young adults in the 1960s began to believe and spread the lie that a person\u2019s telos, or foundational purpose, is not in glorifying his Creator, but in pursuing personal fulfillment.<\/p>\n<p>In 1960s culture, women were told to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wgbh\/americanexperience\/features\/pill-and-sexual-revolution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">leave behind<\/a> the Christian \u201cchains\u201d of chastity before marriage and embrace sex whenever and with whomever as a form of personal liberation. This precept tore apart sex and childbearing from the sanctity of marriage and devalued both actions altogether. Then, instead of appreciating the home, feminists began to worship work through the influence of books such as Betty Friedan\u2019s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/research.engineering.nyu.edu\/~jbain\/socphil\/texts\/05a.Friedan.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Feminine Mystique<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after, sex education became, as it still is today, focused on preventing pregnancy so that women can be \u201cempowered\u201d by licentiousness and participating in the workforce.
