Origin

On December 9th, 2019, Twitter user @StefanMolyneux^[1] tweeted, "I can’t believe Taylor Swift is about to turn 30 – she still looks so young! It’s strange to think that 90% of her eggs are already gone – 97% by the time she turns 40 – so I hope she thinks about having kids before it’s too late! She’d be a fun mom. :)" (shown below). The tweet gained over 9,800 likes and 1,600 retweets in a day.

The next day, @StefanMolyneux^[4] tweeted, "Ohhh, I see.Taylor Swift said this: “Hey, just so you know, we’re more than incubators.” So she’s helping to program young women – who mostly lack her talents, wealth and fame – to reject motherhood. Very nasty" (shown below). The tweet which refers to a statement made by Swift early that week received 3,900 likes and 500 retweets that day.^[5]
