Targeting the link between late pregnancy and breast cancer

Why does a first pregnancy after age 35 increase the risk of breast cancer, and what can be done to combat this?

“Women who become pregnant and have children at an early age have a decreased risk of developing breast cancer in later life; however, any pregnancy after age 35 increases the risk of breast cancer” 

This global trend towards much later pregnancies while women spend their twenties and thirties on their education and careers goes against the female biology in which the prime conditions for childbearing occur in much earlier. 

The modern world has opened up educational and career opportunities to women to an extent never before seen in homo sapiens society. Where heterosexual marriage in agricultural society created the economic and social framework under which women reproduced and could received the appropriate level of resource and physical security for childbearing and child raising, the modern world has replaced marriage as the number one economic vehicle with direct access to economic opportunities. 

This leaves marriage for the modern woman a trimmed down institution servicing cultural emotional expectations (often artificially and tragically inflated by popular culture) and co-parenting. 

I propose a new method of reproduction, one that allows the female full use of her physiology at its most fertile and reproductively secure stage, and direct access to economic opportunity. 

I’ll have to outline this idea in another post. I’ve got a tennis meet up to go to. Let’s just say this new model, a model for all society, will be loosely based on the matrilineal society of the Mosuo culture.
