In June of this year, EXILE's AKIRA and Taiwanese actress Lin Chi-lin got married. There were many congratulatory comments, and there were also comments saying, "Children seem to be difficult." What do you think about women's reproductive freedom?


On June 6, Lin Chi Lin announced her marriage to EXILE performer AKIRA. Many fans cried and congratulated them, but there were also comments such as "Finally" and "A middle-aged woman finally got married.

If 44-year-old Lin Qilin thought that "finally" getting married would be more tolerant of various forms of marriage for various women, the reality was not like that. Recently, Lin Chi-lin, who said she wanted twins, was going to do a preimplantation genetic diagnosis. Therefore, public opinion has become exciting again over when to give birth.

Did you have a lover? Are you married? Are you trying to freeze your eggs? Do you want children? Can I still give birth? Isn't it impossible to watch your child grow?

From the endless questions, we can see that Lin Chi Linh continues to be an endless target. Will the day come when I will send my heartfelt blessings to actresses instead of asking questions with their guts and nosyness?

Don't talk about my waist: netizens constantly monitor the actress's figure

Lin Qilin, who got married in June, was being chased by cameras at home and at the airport. Moreover, it is analyzed that you may be hiding your belly from the photo, and no matter what you wear, it will be considered proof that you are pregnant. For example, there are articles about the absolute pregnancy because the blouse in the skirt is loose, or the driver is definitely trying to have a child because he went to the hospital to get medicine.

It's as if if if an actress gets married, the only topic left around her is her children.

Even at the press conference on July 30, if you are asked how many children you want or whether you prefer a boy or a girl, you will be teased by the comments on the news, saying, "I can still have children."

Comments about whether to give birth or not, such as "I think my waist area has gained weight" and "I'm doing it," are not only curiosities about celebrities, but they are also evaluations that only women encounter. How many people care when a man wants to be a father?

What "Old Age" Taught Me: Everything from Egg Retrieval to Holding a Baby

The personal lives of celebrities are constantly being discussed and appreciated. In 2014, Lin Chi-Lin underwent egg freezing surgery and saved 9 eggs. For women, it always takes courage to choose the path from a woman to a mother after the age of "advanced childbirth".

A few years ago, Taiwanese female celebrity Pauline Lan had a miscarriage at the age of 43 and wrote about her miscarriage on social media. There were some comments that were disappointing, but there were also voices saying, "It's the path I chose myself." This world is not friendly to women who give birth at an advanced age. Society's perception of "advanced birth" is that the whole series of events from egg retrieval to holding the baby is self-inflicted.

First, you must make an injection for ovulation. You will have to undergo many more surgeries to retrieve eggs. It can also cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome due to nausea or accumulation of ascites. The public is curious about the results and pays attention to them, but I am lonely because I only see this process with curious eyes, Pauline Lan said.

At the age of 45, I can't help but ask my mother, "I might not be able to see my child grow up"?

Except for the medical risks, even if Lin Chi Linh becomes pregnant, some people are worried about the future, such as whether it is too late to become a mother at the age of 45, whether she will be able to become a good mother, or whether she will grow old first and not be able to see her children grow up. However, if you are a man, you will not suspect that it is too late to become a father.

Looking back at the fertility of middle-aged women, Pauline Ran, Liu Ruoying, Lin Qilin, and many others.

Now, in 2019, as a middle-aged woman, from egg freezing to IVF, the options seem more diverse, but I can't escape the risks of public opinion and medicine. Do middle-aged women really have reproductive freedom? Is it just an illusion?

A few months ago, we interviewed Lin Chi-lin, who was a PR ambassador for cervical cancer prevention. When I asked her what she thought of being a role model for many girls, she replied that it wasn't a big deal, she just lived her own life, and that "if I could do at least one thing in my life, it would be to live my own life."

As the idol of Taiwanese women since childhood, Lin Chi Lin is also a reference for her sense of beauty, female image, career, etc. She is a very brave woman who has chosen her own path.

We should stop commenting on this choice and celebrate it.
