It matters to them and their immediate circle in particular, obviously, although I know most of my female family and friends who've got to that point in life tend to play it down in public, if anything.]

But the relentless focus on that group with no mention of the fact that there are also women (most of my friends and me, for example, and yes we did discuss the topic when it was relevant) for whom it is simply a minor inconvenience, gives a very unbalanced picture.
